"If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they 

are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them 

everywhere" - Zig Ziglar. 

  Some of the most important and precious relationships you could  ever have in life is that of a friend. People to lean on when something goes wrong or your dealing with hard times. Or just have someone to talk to when you feel lonely or have exciting news. They celebrate and hurt in those moments with you. Your lives may change but  true friends, real friends, always stay friends even through differences. 

Today I realized how important friends truly are through gaining new friends and reminiscing with current friends. No matter what happens along the way having friends will get you through anything. I am so thankful for the friendships I have in my life. I only hope that they continue to be strong and long lasting through the summer and forward. 

"When one door of happiness closes, 

another opens; but often we look so long 

at the closed door that we do not see the one 

which has been opened for us" -Helen Keller

Perhaps we never know whats coming but these two quotes really spoke to me today as I travel in a new direction and gaining friends along the way. 

Only 5 more days at Ouachita, I couldn't be more excited to be going home! 

Light at the end of the tunnel

There is FINALLY light at the end of the tunnel... I'm escaping the bubble! This past weekend started of badly but yesterday made it all worth it. On Wednesday of last week I got a call from Dillards for a job interview for Friday. Well as Justin and I were headed home my phone rang, I wasn't sure who it was so I answered it; it was J C Penney's calling to set up an interview! So Saturday I would have an interview with them. Then when we were about half way home I got another phone call, from Charlotte Russe for an interview on Sunday. Needless to say my weekend was very busy. Well we flew home as fast as we could so I could get to Dillards on time, but when I got there the lady I was interviewing with forgot about me... How does that happen? Irresponsible much? So I just left (I wasn't all that bummed once they explained how the interviewing process worked) and as of today, Tuesday, I still haven't gotten a call from that lady(she said she would call to reschedule). Well I left kind of up set but I was looking forward to my interview at JCP. Saturday came and I got all dressed up for my interview and was surprisingly not that nervous, and it was a success! They talked to me as if I was already hired! I almost wanted to ask if I was hired!?! But I just decided to wait to see what they said. The manager for the receptions wanted to get my background check started right away (which would mean I was hired) but the salon manager said they probably would but to give it a day. And yesterday I got the call that they were running my background check and that the salon manager (mark) would call me either Wednesday or Thursday to schedule my official start date (Sunday, May 15). Well Sunday came I contemplated going to my interview at Charlotte Russe but i'm glad I did. Because I got hired there too! 

I took the job at JCP! So I will be working full time with full benefits! :) I am so excited!!
