New Beginnings

So I decided that I wouldn't sacrifice and I would go into the interview being the only Symone that I knew how to be. And you know what, it worked! I was my smiling, honest, articulate self and they loved me. I was able to talk about my wife when it was appropriate and I didn't feel like anyone was judging me. It was a great experience and I can't wait to get the call that says "you're hired" because I know it is coming.

Beyond going to Atlanta to get my job we also found a great apartment in the city. It has an open concept (very loft-like) and we love it. We move in at the end of this month. Both of our mothers will come to Ames and we will all drive down together. Family ROAD TRIP! We are all very excited and we are a little nervous. This will be the first time our mothers are meeting (we have been married for 16 months). They have talked on the phone once, but this is a face-to-face meeting under somewhat stressful circumstances. I know it will be great, even if there are bumps because "we are family." Let the NEW Beginnings begin!
