Arkansas, I'm Yours:

  I got a call today from an Unknown number while I was nannying.  When I saw it, I had a feeling it was a representative of HP.  And she welcomed me to "The Company."  Forget second interviews, forget the wait, I Sarah Christine McIver, have a REAL JOB WITH SALARY AND BENEFITS!!!!! Hello insurance, I missed you so.
  Today's been surreal for sure.  I filed out all of my sign-on paperwork like a responsible adult, all by myself.  I researched more apartments and where the nearest Starbucks would be.  I went and told the woman I nanny for, and she and her husband were beyond proud of me and are excited for this new chapter in my life.  It hasn't sunk in that I won't see them. I was there when the baby said his first word.  I was there to catch puke in my hands.  No one but their parents knows these kids like I do.  This may be the hardest part to leave behind, besides my own family and Kaiti.
  I'm so ready for this.  I'm ready and willing to become a Southern Belle. This is by far the biggest adventure and challenge I've been handed.  And I am so incredibly excited to get the proverbial ball rolling.  I still have to call many people and get some questions answered, but I just had to put this on mimzee. It's a moment to be placed in the mimzeeum, for all to read and be happy for too. Because this means I'm no longer waiting for my life to begin.  It started at 9:43 (MST) today.  When I got the call.  After all the jobs I applied to and cried over.  After all this stress and waiting, this HP position comes at me faster than a comet, made for me, by the cosmos I'm certain.
   Not to sound like a fortune cookie, but great changes and many topics for mimzee are in the near future for all of you. Because now we're really starting an epic tale. I've never been anywhere else.

I've never left my nest.  And now, I start my career on September 20, 2010.  Which means I move, and live on my own sometime before that.

It's all happening.  It's all happening.  I'm ready.  Are you?
