So, after 22 years of dreaming, 4 years of design school and multiple job interviews I found the perfect job! I am officially employed at Saxton in Des Moines! I cannot believe I've finally made it and I feel like my hard work has paid off as they really made me feel wanted. The full-time (and benefits) position, which starts for me on October 4th, consists of being part receptionist and part design assistant. I will basically be training to eventually move up in the company and take on my own design projects.
I am so excited about the work they do--such a variety! And not only that, but they work with various architecture firms on projects around the country! I truly feel honored to work for such an outstanding firm. Not to mention everyone I have met there is incredibly sweet. I'm sure I'm going to love it and I'm practically counting down the hours until I arrive for my first day!
Also great news--I'm married! No longer am I Amanda Price, now I am Amanda Schneller! I feel like my life has really fallen into place and the name I tried to so hard to make for myself is coming true as my new self. :)
Just had to share the great news!
Love,
Amanda
Here's what I wore to the meeting they presented my job offer (note the 14" of hair cut off! Yes, I am proud to donate to Locks of Love!)
