Things are looking up!

When I decided to go back to grad school in 2007, I never imagined the economy being this bad.  I always thought that I would graduate, find a kick ass job and then finally start my career.  Graduation was April 18, so it's been 175 days since I finished my MBA education.  The past 6 months consisted of job searching, doubting myself and wondering what I was doing with my life.  Of course, its also been 6 months of playing with Alexis, reading books, working out and enjoying this time off, so I am by no means complaining.  I went to Hawaii, I got to see my niece learn to crawl and walk and I had a lot of time to soul search and reevaluate what's important.

Alas, the time has come and I am happy to announce that I have a job.  Not just any job, a job that I am so excited for, with a company that I love.  I actually have a long history with Fanscape.  I interviewed back in the beginning of 2007 and was offered a great position in the business development department.  I knew that it was an awesome opportunity, but I ultimately decided that I wanted to go to Business School.  Fast forward two years later...I've kept in contact with Kristin.  We had lunch a few times and I asked her to participate in a Marketing Society Panel.  My strategic marketing group also did a project on the company.  We had many conversations and I knew that I wanted to work for her and Fanscape.  Thankfully the timing was right and here I am, working in the business development department that I had interviewed for two years prior.  Its funny how things work out.

In addition, my dad agreed to quit smoking once I got a job.  He's been tobacco free for over a week now! Like I said, things are looking up!
