I'm leaving...on a jet plane!!! Wahoooooo!!!

Alright, well, I haven't gotten the job...YET, but I am going on a jet plane for an interview! I am supposed to be looking up flights right now, but I'm just so excited I had to post first! I just got off the phone with such a great family. They want to fly me out for an interview ASAP. She really wanted to fly me out this weekend, but it was too short of notice for the both of us. Next weekend, my sister is coming to visit, so it looks like it will be the weekend of the 17-18th. I would be starting May 1st. So, the quicker I get out there to interview, the faster she can hire me, the Lord willing of course! :)

This family actually found me on www.enannysource.com. So, it wasn't with my agency...oops. I don't think I'm supposed to be doing that. But, hey, this is my life we're talking about.

Anyway, so here are the details.
Ava- 2 1/2 year old girl

Dean- 11 month old boy

Town: Ashburn, Virgina ( 30 miles West of D.C.)

The mom called me this afternoon and when I got off the phone, I walked into the living room and told my mom that if she had offered me the job, I would have accepted right then and there. I "clicked" so well with her. It was so wonderful. The job responsibilities wouldn't be that much different from my other previous nanny jobs. She told me that there are so many things to do with the children there about 5-10 miles from home.

They have a nanny right now that has been with them for a year and the only reason she is leaving is to pursue her dreams as an EMT. Kris (the mom) told me that they have the best relationship with her and will be sad to see her leave. She said that this nanny has become friends with a lot of girls and would be happy to introduce the new nanny to these people. Kris also told me that their town and surrounding areas are FULL of people my age.

The nanny quarters is on the bottom floor (basement) that has been redone. It has a room, bathroom and a fully stocked bar. Hmmmm....that will be a nice perk for my "wine nights" that I will be sure to have! :) I really like the idea of being at the bottom. I won't have to worry about making much noise ( not that I'm loud or anything). It will be like a getaway area for me too.

The BIGGEST thing she told me was, that they live 5 min from a very large non-denominational church. She said that they have an amazing singles department there which has a singles Bible study on Tuesday nights. This was huge for me. I've been really praying that wherever God leads me, that I will not only have a good church to get connected to, but have a good Singles department as well! God is so awesome!!! It seems to me that it is so evident that God wants me there! I've talked to a lot of you about this move and pretty much every time I talk about it, I say that I'm so nervous about moving again. Well, after this conversation, I am not nervous a bit, in fact, I am SO incredibly excited about this. That right there tells me so much!

One of the BEST perks ( in my opinion) is a gym membership to their local gym, called Lifetime. Now, for those that know about Lifetime, then you know how amazing their gyms are. For those that don't...well, you have to check it out for yourself. http://www.lifetimefitness.com/This one was just built and she said it's one of the larger ones. It has an indoor rock climbing wall, pools, outdoor and indoor and oh I could go on and on. Since Adam and I have broken up, I've lost almost 10 lbs. So, now, I just want to tone myself up a bit and lose about 10 more. :) I'm sure this gym will help me achieve this goal and not to mention another great place to meet people.

So, in the next few weeks I ask that you say a prayer for me that it will be clear to me where God wants me to work and live for the next year. I am just so excited right now. I will sign off with a new favorite scripture of mine!

"The Lord your God is with you; the mighty one will save you. He will rejoice over you. You will REST in His love. He will sing and be joyful about you." Zeph. 3:17
