She's On Her Way

Big news!! Devynne has a new job. Yay. She is now working at Great Harvest and we are very proud of her. We think this will be a perfect first job for her. She dropped off a resume a couple of weeks ago and got a call on Monday and was hired Monday evening. She started yesterday and said it was fun. Of course, we had to sit in the car for a few minutes before she would go in.

Devynne: "I have to sit in the car for a few minutes"
Me: "Why"
Devynne: "I'm nervous, just let me sit here for a few minutes"
Me: "It's ok to be nervous, everyone is nervous the first day of a job, just take a deep breath and be confident"

(silence for a minute)

Me: "Ok, get out, go" (I smile)
Devynne: "Ok, sheesh, wish me luck"
Me: "Good luck and I love you" (smile again)

And off she went. I felt like a momma bird booting my baby chick out of the nest. She is now working today, tomorrow and Saturday. She'll soon learn how to take care of her finances as well as learn to handle more responsibilities. We're very excited. She's on her way to growing up, now we just need to work on that driver's license. ;)

I totally would have wanted to work there in high school! It will be fun to see here when we pop in.
