Finally some positive news...

....but not what everyone's expecting.

I got a new job here in Halifax! :)

I figured it was time for me to suck it up and get over my stupid mindset that taking a job in Halifax means resigning myself to living here long-term again...and that I was essentially saying that I didn't think Art could get a job. (I told you it was a stupid mindset, didn't I?) So earlier this week I applied at Tommy Hilfiger. They're opening their first store in Nova Scotia at the new Dartmouth Crossing (sound familiar? It seems I open new and exciting firsts for Nova Scotia lately..haha!)

Anyway, went for an interview on Thursday and I got offered a full-time position on the spot! :) Wheeeee! I'm now full-time employed by a designer! :P I work in a designer store! Waaaaahooooo!

Sadly, still no news on Art's job front. It's kinda depressing that he hasn't been able to find anything yet, given his amazing skills and experience, but I have to hold out hope that he WILL find something someday soon. I know my honey would be an asset to any company he works for, they just have to realize that! ;)

So for now, I'm the sole breadwinner in our family (for the first time ever...haha!). I'll keep holding out hope that Art finds something soon. Then comes the discussion on what we should do...because logic says I should stay here and work for a bit (to save up some of the savings we had to spend in the last 4 months) but emotion says book the next ticket to move back with my honey. Who knows what we'll do...that's a conversation for the near future, I think.

For now, I'm an official Tommy Girl! The store opens June 5th, but I'll start work there May 30th (training and stocking the store for the first time...again, something I'm familiar with, having done the initial stocking of Old Navy!) I've always thought that karma would tell me that once I got a job, Art would get a job...then we'd have to make another decision....so, I guess stay tuned!

I hope my next update will be that Art found a job too!
