This Weekend.

So this weekend we are throwing (finally) our housewarming party. I am attempting pound cake with what I hope, a pecan glaze (pictures will happen!). So cleaning and things tomorrow will take up most of the day then party all night long! (Just kidding)
Saturday probably clean up from the night before and then we're going into town to hang out with Phil and some other people at the pub! I can't wait for all this social interaction, I realize now how much of an extrovert I am. I get all mopey and depressed if I go without getting lots of hours in my day of being with other people - mostly big groups of people. I thoroughly enjoy Erin and Kurt but I need different people too if that makes sense.
Yesterday at Pause there were 13 people that showed up and the room was extremely loud, filled with multiple conversations and I felt so comfortable and happy being there. I helped fix a mini disaster with the cooking of the food that the cook (Mel) had. Nothing too major but it was nice hanging out with her.
Then we all ate this delicious food and I talked to a woman who I'd met briefly at the Burns Supper.  She and her husband had finally got rid of the kids for the weekend and they had all these lovely plans to spend some time together. She was so excited about it, I unintentionally got excited about it too! 
Then we all went home and Erin made herself and I a hot toddy to celebrate my employment!
Today I had a great day. Nothing special about it, but I just enjoyed the lack of pressure that was drowning me because I hadn't yet found employment.

So looks like I'm not coming home until next fall or the end of my visa in 2014 because in the interview they'd discussed with me that if hired, they'd like me to stay for the duration of my visa.
If-so-facto, I'm hired so probably have to stay here awhile! Unless the job is way too much then I might consider coming home, but I'm ready for a challenge in my present career (i.e. office lady) and this job will be perfect for that.

Love you all back home.
