John's Job Offer and a Celebratory Weekend!

John and I had a fantastic week!  We ate at my favorite San Diego sushi place, Sushi Deli on Tuesday after work, and JOHN GOT A JOB OFFER on Friday!!!  I thought having the sushi was fabulous, but when John called me at work on Friday with the good news I was so pumped! 

He will be working at a Real Estate company as a Real Estate Assistant.  He is really pumped because he was hoping to get into the real estate field as the next step of his career.  Aside from assisting, he will be coming up with process improvements and thinking of creative ways to better the business.  His workplace culture seems vey similar to my job, and he is excited to start working – he might even start this week!  His new company expects him to become a licensed Real Estate Agent within one year and I may even take the real estate course with him so we can both obtain our real estate licenses!  I’d love to get into real estate in addition to working at DT. 

John and I had a fun weekend celebrating his job offer.  We are planning a celebratory dinner together, but unfortunately weren’t able to get a reservation this past weekend, so we celebrated by doing other things!  On Sunday we enjoyed the San Diego Greek festival!  Although not as impressive as the Greek festival at Yiayia and Papou’s church in New Jersey, it was still fun!

John’s friend Zach was visiting San Diego with his family, so after the festival, John and I headed over to Balboa Park to meet up with them and give them a tour of one of our favorite San Diego spots.  John also had a great time surfing with Zach and his family on Friday while I was at work. 

So far, John and I have been so successful on our journey!  Just 15 weeks ago I was sitting at my desk at Citi, unable to see out the window above my cube walls.  Now, I possess memories of seven weeks of adventure, my boyfriend and I have both secured exceptional jobs, I’m living in a city with seemingly perfect weather, and I have nothing but exploration ahead of me!
