Before I get started, I need to get things into the correct order.
First off, I moved. My old house was...well had a mold problem. Everyone knows that mold is a silent killer. So we had to get out of there. Which I was more than ok with. The new place is quite nice compared to the old actually. It has many features the old one did not have. Like, carpet, a dishwasher and the best part, central heating and air. It's smaller than the old place but like I said, it's a lot nicer.
Well now there's a funny part to it. I didn't know we were moving until about 2 days before our deadline. Explanation, Thursday afternoon is when I got the "we're moving" call. And by Friday night/Saturday morning, we were all moved in. As my roommate describes it; "It feels like armageddon is coming and we're only one's who know about it" (referring to the fact that we were moving very quickly). Anywho, we moved successfully and quickly. And people should visit.
In other odd news: I got a call a couple of days ago from an old acquaintance from about 3 years who I talked to for about 20 mins. I was his son's counselor at Kanakuk for a summer. He happens to be the CEO and President of a particular humanitarian aid group out of Phoenix. Well his call happened to be about a position he had open and was curious about my interest in doing it. Just to describe the position a little bit, he travels quite a bit being the CEO of the company needs a travel assistant to accompany him and help with schedule and paperwork issues.
He offered me the position which would require/allow me to travel with him. He travels about 100 days a year all over globe. So if I were to accept it, I could possibly see 6 continents in 6 months. All his previous travel assistants have been promoted to director positions overseas. As exciting as all that sounds, there are things that scare me. Like that I would have to move to Phoenix and I would have to raise quite a bit of support. I know raising the support is not impossible at all but the moving to Phoenix thing does not excite me at all. There's a thing or two I just do not want to move further away from.
Lately I've taken a lot of leaps at things I wouldn't normally leap at. Compared to the other things I taken that chance on, this seems more like a risk and less of a sure thing. I'm really not a jumper or risk taker so to have this happen is just really tiring to me. It's too much for my brain to take at once. I've already gone the people I trust the most about their advice and support on this so this isn't the first I'm sharing of it. I don't wish it would go away but just another time would be great. Well, time for Connor to grow up...
So that has been my normal and exciting week. I'm not sure if I would hope for another though. It's a lot to take in at once.
Oh and I'm really wanting this week to be short.
