2 New "Jobs"!!

The last few weeks have been a nice roller-coaster ride of stress and emotions. The company that I was working for was going through some major rearrangement in the upper levels of management and - long story short - I was essentially unemployed for the most of February, along with about 35+ of my coworkers. Given the state of the economy and unemployment right now, it would be an understatement to call these last few weeks daunting. While most of us were looking for new jobs on our own, a few of our top leaders were also looking to find one company for us all to move to. I admit that a feat like that was a pretty optimistic goal, but I was reminded this last week that it's still okay to believe in miracles.

 

Monday was my first day at a company called LifeVantage. Myself and most of the 35+ of us who left our former company were hired by the company a little over a week ago. The company is based in San Diego, has another office just outside Colorado Springs, and just opened a new office in Sandy (a little closer than where I was commuting to before). I'll have basically the same position that I had previously, as a Marketing Events Specialist, and will still report to the same person and work with the same people on my team. I am so excited at the prospect of getting back to work, and working with the same people I was working with before only adds to that excitement. We have a ton of stuff to plan and get ready, as the company is basically a start-up, but the things we're planning have already got me excited about what I do! I'll still be traveling a fair amount, so who knows what kinds of fun opportunities will reveal themselves!

The other bit of "update" is that I was called last week to serve in the new Relief Society presidency in my ward. While I'm a little overwhelmed, I am also very excited. I have so much to learn and am anxious to get busy.

Life is amazing! There really isn't much more to it than that.
