In these past few months, there have been so many positive changes in my life. To name a few things I got married a few months ago, I am on the Board of Directors for the American Marketing Association chapter in Atlanta and I have a new job, working with a PR & Marketing agency here in Atlanta!
Changes in Job
Today was my first day at my new job. Every time I start a new job I always have a underlying fear and hope that they never regret hiring me. I personally think its a healthy fear because it keeps you grounded and motivates you to do your best.
This job and atmosphere is completely different than my last job, but I think I will enjoy it. I had a warm reception when I came into the door – a cute little welcome sign and my supervisor took me out to lunch.
It was a very busy day filled with training and learning about clients and the company processes. The whole time I’m thinking myself – don’t screw up! I think this job will challenge me on a variety of different levels, but is is a challenge that I look forward to taking on, and proving to myself that I can adapt and succeed. With the variety of marketing and public relations functions that I will do each day – media relations, email marketing, social media marketing and event planning, I will be pretty darn good in a couple of years! Additionally the Board of Directors position will really help me to become really sharp and network in the marketing field!
Changes as a Wife
I’m still adjusting to the fact that I’m someone’s wife – it is so weird! With my mom being a divorce attorney I really had no intentions of getting married. But after 5 and 1/2 years of dating, here I am all domestic and loving it! I always get the question – “do you feel different? The answer is Yes! The biggest change is ‘mature communication’ and having ‘adult conversations.’ I try to be as honest as possible with Jason about my feelings and Jason has always been good at communicating. If we are talking about something important or if we have an altercation I am now much more open to talking out our differences as opposed to running out the door to be by myself. I guess I realize that we are going to be around each other for the rest of our lives, so I might as well communicate like an adult. I also proactively tell Jason what I’m doing or going. For those who really know me, you know that I absolutely hate telling people or being questioned as to what i’m doing! So I’m definitely a work in progress on that as well. As far as cooking – i’ll get back to you on that. I hate cooking. I figure I can master that daunting task once I have kids.
Changes as a Christian
Believe it or not, I am training to be a Sunday school teacher. Yep, I’m teaching our young and impressionable youth about the Bible and God’s word. This is a huge change for me as I just joined this church. I sort of fell into the position. Jason and I were doing pre-marital counseling with our Pastor and he asked if there were any ministries we would like to participate in. I suggested tutoring kids (like in Reading, Math, et.cetera). Apparently, our Pastor had a whole other form of educating in mind, thus me becoming a Sunday School Teacher in training. Talk about not screwing something up! I’m still working on my foul language (at times)!
So far, change is good. I feel really blessed right now, and I can’t complain – well no I can actually always complain, but life is real good right now
