When It Rains, It Monsoons... at least here in AZ

What a week... let me tell you. I was in my best friend's wedding this weekend. Happily being at the bride's beck and call, giving a speech, posing for photos, partying with friends and family - I'd jump to the chance any weekend to perform these duties just to see the smile on my best friend's face.

In other news... I ended up turning down the job at Arizona's newspaper. It was part time and salary was pretty much equal to a complimentary subscription. It could have possibly led me to some outstanding opportunities in journalism... possibly. It could have possibly led me to bankruptcy as well. Also, other opportunities were presented to me, all within 24 hours of the job offer. I took that as a sign - maybe I shouldn't be jumping on this opportunity...

I was offered the job at the newspaper last Wednesday. Come Thursday morning, I had an email in my inbox about a promotion opportunity within my company to an editor position. PERFECT! So I submitted my resume. It's a good thing I acted so quickly even with the offer to become a news assistant only about 15 hours old, because I just got the call for the interview to take place on Monday. Hmmm... stay with the same company I already work for doing what I've always wanted to do... could God smile down on me anymore than he already has?

Yes, He can.

After checking my email Thursday morning, I listened to my messages. Low and behold, there's a voicemail from an old co-worker calling from the magazine I used to work for in California. Whom do they desperately want to come back and work for them in any way that suits her fancy? Moi!

Cue The OC theme song - "California... here we come."

But wait. I have been dating the Biker for over two weeks now. Will that stop me from moving to California if the magazine job seems better than the editor position? Absolutely not, but it's something to think about. Biker is good and kind. And frankly, I like being treated like gold right now. It's hard to come by.

Keep smiling on me, God!
