Good news! I got the job! Starting on 9/8/08, I'll be the new Director of Development at the California State University at Stanislaus. I'm soooo excited! The campus is beautiful and I'll be working for a woman, about my age, who has a 2nd grader and kindergartner. When she learned that John wasn't here in CA yet, and that I was alone, she said, "Don't worry about schedules. We'll make it work."
I'm excited too about raising some serious money. This position is just focused on fundraising (from individuals, corporations and foundations.) I've always been responsible for fundraising and communications, so this will be great to just focus on one.
Today we're going to a rodeo. We're going to cheer on Mary Joe, the woman who takes care of the horses here at on the horse farm/ranch where we live. She's going to be barrel racing. Will try to get some shots and post them. Last night, as the sun was setting, I saw two yearlings (horses that are one year old, right Amy?) that were just released into a paddock, running through a sprinkler and having fun. The water was back lit and the horses were shiny from the water. It was 101 or more yesterday. I thought it looked like a great way to end the day. Glad I just happened to catch that bit of joy and life taking place right in my back yard.
