Where do I begin...

Okay, so there's been a ton of crazy stuff going on lately:


1. Dan and I decided to enter Rainn Wilson's Dwight Halloween Costume Contest. For those of you who don't already know I'm obsessed with The Office. I'm also furiously competitive. It's a little scary. Basically there were no real set of directions for this contest but there was some indication that having your friends "like" it was important.
So here was our entry:

Anywho, we were up to about 296 likes and beating out this one guy who looked almost identical to Dwight but didn't really put any effort in otherwise. I was so excited because the winner won The Office Season 7 signed by the whole cast. Of course, just my luck, after about 2 days of anxiously refreshing Rainn Wilson's Facebook page he announces the other guy as the winner, even though we had the most likes. WHAT, no he didn't!? Yes. Yes, he did. I'm still a little bitter. Then he goes on to announce 2nd & 3rd, which you guessed it! Wasn't me either. Needless to say, I unliked his fan page, Jim still remains my favorite character on the show, and I have retired from all Facebook contests. 


2. The other night at about I don't know, say 11:30pm, one of my good friends from Baldwin-Wallace sent me a text and asked if I would be attending the Career Expo the next night. She thought it'd be a good idea to go since we're both trying to find jobs/internships in our field. I hurried onto BW's career services website (sign up closed the night) and registered. I wasn't so nervous about it until the next day when she told me we should have 30 second "commercials" about ourselves. I started to look over the list of 80+ employers and my stomach began to turn. 

Although, I was kind of excited because I had applied for an Executive Team Leader position at Target and they were on the list! Fast forward a few hours and my friend and I were upstairs in the Rec, name tags on, practicing our 30 second "commercials" on each other in a hallway next to the bathrooms. We were just extremely a tad bit nervous. I decided to hit up the one (Target) I really wanted first, it seemed like a dumb idea but I was really anxious. So I walked up to the woman at the booth, blurted out my 30 second "commercial", told her I thought I would be perfect for the position, said how much I loved Target about a billion times, and I got an interview. BOOM! It felt awesome let me tell you. Then I went to Sherwin Williams' booth and learned about their management trainee programs (which I applied for) and dropped a resume off with the Cleveland Clinic recruiter. Now I just have to pray that the Target position isn't at the Steelyard Commons location in Cleveland...


3. I'm planning a super awesome gift for Dan. A gift so epic that it's going to take the place of his Christmas and our 2nd anniversary gift (although we'll be going to Melting Pot and using the $100 gift card my uncle got me to cheer me up for losing a different Facebook contest). Dan and I are big into hints when it comes to gifts which usually leads us to guess the other person's gift, but not this time. So far I've given him a handful of clues and he is downright clueless! 
Here's the clues:

Map

Leaf

Moisture

Summer-related

Big Impact

I can't blame him for having no clue... this is a tough one. Maybe you guys can figure it out! But shhh, don't tell! 
Christmas is right around the corner... he can hold out for a little bit longer. 


4. Lastly, we talked about it a lot the past few weeks and we've decided to wait another year to move to Raleigh. Basically, this idea focuses around the fact that most HR positions require at least 3-5 years of experience (right now I have 9 months of experience at most) and we'd like to get married here and get accumulated to married life before we pick up and move to another state. Honestly, three years is going to breeze by, I mean 2014 isn't that far away! I'm looking forward to all the crazy fun times we're going to have leading up to it. 


I hope you all are enjoying this wonderful weekend. It's actually sunny here. Still cold, but sunny! :)
