The Call

Today when I left work I had 2 messages. One was a really weird number. So I listened to the message and it was Doug with Boise Cascade, it said "just kind of wanted to follow up with you"

So I called him back, I figured he was just wanted more info or was going to tell me they were going to pick another candidate. So I called him back and got his voice mail, he called me back within 15 minutes, he asked if it was a bad time and I said no ....

And he said, Well you did very well and we really like the way you presented yourself and would like to offer you the job.
My reply was "Really?" and then got super excited and he said that my excitement made him excited.

So Sorry Rachel, I am not moving to TX, but you can move to Burley......

I have accomplished the next to impossible, I have found a job before school ended. I guess those internships and the applying for jobs since February and all of those rejection letters have really paid off.

Now the hard part, to tell Patrick that we are moving.

Job Hunting

I had an interview Monday, at Boise Cascade, in Burley, ID

I know Burley.... Never in a million years would I have thought I would be considering moving to Burley. But I think I would love the company. I had so much fun at the interview and interviews aren't supposed to be fun. However, I am not holding my breath there were 4 of us interviewing. I know that gives me a 25% chance, but 25% is not that great when you are hoping for the job. They all probably will have more experience than me, and that is usually what kills me on getting jobs. But I am really hoping I get it.

Fishing

Today we went fishing. Now I know what you are thinking, me fish? And no I do not fish. In fact fish freak me out, like a snake or mouse would freak me out. They scare the crap out of me. So I go and just enjoy the weather.
Well today was such a nice day I went and read. I loved it!

I got to sit and enjoy the afternoon, not think about any homework (dead week is next week so no homework) and watch my family. I really enjoy my family. At times we fight and at times none of the three of us are talking, but at the end of the day we are all each other has. I will be so happy to have so much free time to spend with them. Matt and Patrick really are the best things that could have happened to me.

New Car

We have gotten ourselves a new car!!!

Now this is not at all what we were looking for, nor is it something I would have picked on my own, but I love it! I have never had a car this new, OK it is not a car it is a SUV and it is an American made car and it is a gas hog. But I love driving it and being above everybody when I drove.

It is almost like I am the queen sitting above everyone in my silver throne.

Here is the picture.

April??

How did it get to be April already?? Though I am not too upset about it. It just means that I am that much closer to being done with school. Since my Monday's are so nasty I have started counting down by how many Mondays I have left. I have only 4 Mondays left!

This last weekend Matt and I went to Boise. We had a great time hanging out with friends. We got there on Friday and just hung out and went to dinner at Busters. Then on Saturday we went to a natural hot springs in Cascade (85 miles past Boise). Would you know in Cascade they have a lot of snow still? I mean a ton. We had to hike into the hot springs through a lot of snow with bad shoes on change in the cold (freezing cold) and on the way back up to the car I fell. After all we were walking on pure ice uphill at this point. I bruised my knees real good. At the time it was not fun. However, looking back it was fun. Nothing like getting out of town for a little bit.
