Today I am writing about a wonderful girl I have met through our church: Austin. I met Austin probably towards the end of August at one of our small group meetings. She invited me out for coffee a few days later. I remember thinking how nice that was of her to invite me, the new girl, out to coffee. I really enjoyed talking with her that day and I came home and told Drew that I felt like she and I would have a lot in common.
Here are some things that I have noticed we both have in common:
1. We both wear similar Tiffany necklaces.
2. Our husbands are both loons! (Very lovable, but also a bit crazy!)
3. We both have a younger brother.
4. We both love to shop and wish there was better shopping in C-dale.
5. We both love Sushi! (which we still need to go out for!)
6. We both liked to have our nails painted pretty much all the time.
7. We both love cats and spoil our own.
8. And now, thanks to Austin, we both work at Walker's Bluff!
Austin is an executive at Walker's Bluff, which is a local vineyard and winery, and informed me last week that they were looking for a second event coordinator. She asked if I was interested (which of course I was!) and basically hooked me up! She was an excellent point of reference for me to have to get my foot in the door. Yesterday, after an application and a few interviews last week, I was offered the job and I am so excited about it! I am incredibly thankful to Austin for even thinking of me for this position.
Austin,
It has been so nice getting to know you over the past few months! You and Quentin are a hoot and we love spending time with you guys! Drew and I were just talking last night about how we need to all go out to dinner some night in the near future! I am so thankful for your kindness in making me feel welcomed to the small group and Carbondale in general. Thank you for thinking of me as I was job searching and giving me the chance of an awesome opportunity! I am so excited to be working with you and getting to know you better! You have been a wonderful blessing in my life!
Sincerely,
Mary Beth

Mary Beth, you are so sweet. Don't give me too much credit for your new job. :) I am beyond excited to have you working for us and to get a chance to know you even better. We have one more thing in common- we are both bloggers!
