After months of preparations, sending out resumes, interviewing transatlantically (is that even a word?) I have a job offer! I am so excited! The position is in the northern part of Germany in Bremen, very nice town and one of the oldest in the country.

I have received so much negative feedback from all kinds of folks the past few months that I was beginning to believe they were right. Most specifically, most everyone told me that I am just too old at 43 and that no one would hire me. They were WRONG!! There is a job for everyone out there, you just have to find the one that is the perfect fit for you, an employer that wants what you have to offer and off you go!

I thought about calling my sister and give her the good news, but considering she just lost her job and is having trouble with her apartment... I don't think it's a great idea.

The universe must really love me as I have already found an apartment as well. I am still negotiating with the landlord, but I think it's a go. Some folks in the same company moved over in Feb and still haven't found anything! I think it helps that I speak fluent German.

Wow. I am so excited. Off to celebrate!
