In the history of Octobers, this one is ranking up there with the best. Honestly, I don't think I've had a month this great in a really long time. I'd hate to jinx it by putting it in writing but I feel like it needs to be commemorated somehow. Usually Joe and I are wading through the shit that comes along with our bad luck but right now things appear to be on the upswing.
I started out the month in grand fashion having just completed my first 5k. Technically it was in September but the high carried over into October. By finishing the run I proved to myself that I am strong and able to do anything I put my mind to. It also inspired me to continue my training and to sign up for my next 5k, which is coming up this Friday.
Then last week I hit my goal weight. When I started this diet I honestly didn't think I'd make it. But, once again, I proved to myself that anything is possible. I look better, I feel better, and I have more confidence in myself.
Finally, the event that has really put the cherry on top of this month, I've been promoted at work! I am now... wait for it... THE BOSS!! Seriously. I am now the supervisor of Library Services and the Engineering Document Center. I will be managing 12-17 employees. Crazy, right?! I am honored that my bosses think so highly of me to promote me from basically the lowest position in my department (pay wise and responsibility) to the boss. I even beat out a couple of women who had more experience. But, they said that I blew them away in the interview and that they think I'm the right person to transition the department into the future. I am a little nervous but also very excited. In my current position I don't feel like I've worked at my full potential. Now I feel like I have that opportunity. And, the job came with a pretty sweet raise too.
So, all in all, I got to say that this October has been pretty fantastic. With one week to go, I can't imagine too much more excitement but Joe is up for his review (and hopefully raise) this week so fingers crossed that it just keeps getting better.

And you so deserve it! You should really read the book "the secret". It is about harvesting positive energy. One of the theories is when one good thing happens and we feel good about it, that energy causes other good things to happen.
I am so happy for you and your new job. Now not only do I get to brag that my cousin works for NASA, I get to say my cousin is a "boss" at NASA! Sweet! And good luck to Joe too!
Yay... you got it :) Big things are happening for the both of you and you deserve to bask in the glory! Let me know if you want to borrow those management books...
And don't forget that October was 6th anniversary month and that is also reason to celebrate which you did. I am very proud of all of your accomplishments! oxoxo Mom
