3 Weeks

3 weeks ago today I landed in Phoenix and so much has happened in those 3 weeks.

Week 1:
My first day here Mark took me for a drive through the mountains and past our hopefully future home.  My second day here Mark and I joined a bible study. The third day I went to a job fair for the new Tanger Outlet mall that opens in November.  The rest of the week I spent my time applying for jobs online and helping Mark at work.

Week 2:
Mark left for Germany and I stayed in Phoenix.  While Mark was gone I did the best I could to fill in for him at work.  While he was gone I set up 3 interviews for the following week and I continued to apply to several jobs online.  On Saturday I met up with, Sarah, a friend from high school for lunch and a little shopping. Sarah filled me in on so many places to go and things to do in Phoenix.  Sunday night she sent me a text message saying one of her close friends knew of some open positions at Grand Canyon University and that I should apply there. 

Week3:
Mark got home Sunday night, just in time for my crazy busy week.  Monday morning I went into work with Mark and looked up Grand Canyon University.  I applied to several jobs on their career board.  I finished my applications in time to get to my 1st job interview if the week.  Tuesday I didn't have any interviews so I planned on helping Mark at work.  That morning I received a call from Grand Canyon University wanting to set up an interview on Thursday morning, which made 4 interviews in 1 week.  I was pretty excited!  Wednesday afternoon I had an interview along with 2 interviews on Thursday.  When all of my interviews were done I looked back and felt they all went pretty well.  I was excited for the coming week and hopefully hearing back from one of the interviews and hopefully setting up a few more.  First thing Friday morning I received a phone call from Grand Canyon University offering me a job!  Not even 24 hours after my interview and I have a job!  I'm so excited for this great opportunity and I have Sarah to thank for telling me about it!!! Saturday night Mark and I met up with Sarah and her boyfriend to celebrate.  We're both so thankful to have friends in Phoenix!

Grand Canyon University is a private christian university.  I start work Monday October 15th.  My title will be Student Intake Matriculation Specialist.  For now that's really all I know, lol but I'll let you all know more when I know more.  I'm excited to see the great opportunities God will bless me with through this job.

I'm so blessed God provided a job so quickly!  Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and this move and all of the unanswered questions.  God is answering all questions in His time.  Hopefully the next question he answers will be about our housing situation.  :)
Love you all!!
