This goes out to all my [media] ladies

Back in my 10 Things...I'm Thankful For post I mentioned how blessed I am to have the job I do. From Day 1, my dad had encouraged me with the words "It's gonna be okay, and it's gonna be better." That phrase has since become my life mantra. I didn't have the time or words last time to talk about just how amazing the media team at Whitehardt is, but now I do. 

Last Thursday was the Whiteoudt Christmas Party, I had the pre-party fun of getting ready with the other media auditor Maggie who I have come to absolutely love! Then it was off to party town. This was my second year of office Christmas parties but my first year of an office Christmas party that felt more like family than co-workers. I have never laughed so hard while playing a card game with the CEO of my agency playing along right beside me. I have never laughed so hard watching the entire agency steal back and forth and back and forth a plush blanket from Target during Dirty Santa. And never have I ever learned so much about the people I work with during a crack up game of Never Have I Ever. This is what I had always wanted; a job I love with people who cheer you on. 

I now have this picture of the media girls on my fridge right next to the pictures of me and mom, Emily's wedding, Sara's wedding, and our Pittsburgh trip. Because in three short months these girls have become more than just "my buyers" they've become my friends.
That 'ole phrase "Everything happens for a reason"? Yeah, I'm living proof.

"Don’t you see?

You can try to fight it

But it’s meant to be.

Don’t believe

Anything they tell you

Right here

I swear

This is where you’re meant to be"
