New News!

Hi girls! Hope all is well with everyone and hope you all had a fantastic Valentine's Day (or Singles Awareness Day as I prefer to call it!)! Meghan and I road-tripped it up to Minneapolis on Sat to go to IKEA and then came back to DSM on Sunday. A nice little get away!

So the new news I have to share is that I was offered a new job in Bloomington (a suburb of Minneapolis). It's with a PR agency called StoryTeller Media and Communications and they specialize in video production and social media (which means I still get to count facebook and twitter as part of my job!). I start on March 8, so I'll be moving probably the 4 or 5 of March.

It was a pretty tough decision since I really wasn't expecting to leave my job here so soon, but it is a really great opportunity and I feel like I need to take it. For the time being I will be staying wiht my sister and her husband at their house in Mayer, MN. So I will have about a 45 min. commute, which will be a big adjustment from my 15 min commute now! But this is a very temporary living situation and as soon as I get settled in I will be looking for my own place!

I haven't officially quit at Performance Marketing yet, saving it for the end of the day today. Willing to take bets on whether I will cry or not!

So if any of you girls are ever in the Twin Cities area, be sure to look me up :)

  2. That is really great! Goodluck with quiting your job. I know it can be rough, especially when that company has been good to you and people like you there. I found that employeers are usually pretty understanding of people leaving for a good opportunity, or at least they should be if they are good people. It will be hard, but you will feel great once it is over. AND now you will be close to your family, which is always nice.

  3. Thanks girls! It was pretty tough to tell my boss, and now slowly people are starting to find out... it's sad but I guess it's time to move on! I don't think you are supposed to enjoy your first real job as much as I have enjoyed this one!

    But seriously, if anyone is in the mood for a Twins or Vikings game (I don't support the Timberwolves, they suck), let me know!

  4. Amy, I'm so proud of you! Let me know when you get settled and I will be up there to visit :) We have a hockey tourney in Blaine, MN in mid April so I will make it a longer trip and visit a couple of days! Hey how about a Wild game? haha
