My job is very hard to explain, but my title is a Media Account Coordinator. I do a lot of coordinating of accounts, as cliche as that sounds. I run reports and assist the Account Managers in keeping information up to date for the Clients. Direct Response TV is the commercials with an 800# on them or a website that calls for you to take some sort of response. Makes sense.
My apartment is a fairly good size, inexpensive, and in a run down house. But, we've made it mine and I am really enjoying it. Trying to get the hang of this budgeting thing and the cooking for myself and paying bills and all of that fun stuff.
I have started hanging out with some young professionals in town. They do networking events, fun events, and just de-stressing type things. They seem like a good group of people, and I look forward to hanging out with them in the future and beginning to call them my friends.
After being in my apartment for 3 weeks, I attended church for the first time today and again began the process of "church shopping". i used this term last night and one of the girls we were hanging out with didn't understand. I had to explain this process of finding somewhere that i'm comfortable again, somewhere that will give me what I am looking for in a church. A church is sort of like a product, and you have to find just the right brand before you're happy with it. One of the young professionals attends the Methodist church with his parents and another one was raised Methodist so we decided we would all go to church together. It was a mix between old and new. An older church, mostly older congregation, but an extremely young associate pastor, and slide shows going on through church. I'm not sure it was what I was looking for. I found the message hard to connect to and the mix of old and new a little strange. People greeted Andrew and i (the newcomers) but none actually introduced themselves to us or welcomed us back.
There are several other churches in town and I have heard of one that sounds like it may be a good fit, but Andrew and a few others have also said if you aren't part of a young family, people look at you differently. I think its all in how you look at it, and am going to check it out and get my thoughts. There are about 10 different churches in town (and that's on the low end), so when one doesn't work, I shall try again.
this week should bring another busy week at work, but were having a party on Thursday for the February birthdays, and then I'm heading up to Wartburg this weekend, so its one foot in front of another and keep looking forward to what i can and learning to grow every day.
