So, I just wanted to take a moment out of this busy week to talk about this new adventure we are taking. (I have used the word 'adventure' so many times, I'm going to have to start looking for an alternative word) *journey, quest (oh I like that one), escapade, voyage, undertaking*
About a month ago, Corey and I applied for jobs in Charlotte, NC at the CBS station, WBTV. Corey got the job right on the spot (it's tough being so perfect huh?), but I didn't hear back until last week. Corey will be a producer (Monday thru Friday) and I will be a production assistant/director (Monday thru Friday). So, we'll both have weekends off which is such a blessing. I'm not even sure I remember what weekends are!
On August 3rd, 2013, I signed a lease to our condo in Bristol, TN and on August 8th, 2014 we will be moving out! It has been a great year! We have had so many great opportunities in Bristol, but it is time for a new *quest*! (haha, Lord of Rings comes to mind when I use this word)
God has definitely blessed me with a great life. Corey is such a great husband, he supports me in all my decisions and we both challenge each other to always do our best! I couldn't imagine life without him! We're both so excited about this *escapade*! (well except for the packing) It is definitely our best opportunity yet!
We will definitely miss our WCYB family! We've learned from some of the best broadcasters around! I remember when I first began working there. I ran teleprompter and edited for 9 months, around the 8th month I started begging to run cameras and somewhere down the road I started coming in early on weekends to learn how to direct! It's been a fast pace journey, with some amazing people who are great teachers! I also remember Corey's first day of work. (don't you honey?) He was supposed to run cameras for an early morning show! (Yes, he started out in production) I had told my boss that he was a fast learner and he worked hard! I called him around noon that day, to see how his shift had gone! "I didn't make it!" And my heart literally sank to the ground! Apparently one of his friends (one that shall not be mentioned) had texted him so many times the night before, it had ran down his battery and shut his phone off (which was his alarm clock) and he didn't wake up til around 7. (the show by this time had already ended) Luckily, my boss gave him another chance!! Everyone at work, loves to tell the story of "Corey's first day of work!"
So here's a tip kids: Always have an alternate alarm clock set, in case your friends decide to text bomb your phone! Or better yet, don't be friends with idiots! :) (just kidding, Eric, oh I mean friend who will not be named)
We begin our first day of work, August 11th. It doesn't seem real!!
My sister and I traveled to Charlotte yesterday to find an apartment for Corey and I to live in. WE FOUND ONE!! It's actually outside of Charlotte, in a town called Mooresville! It's super nice! It has a pool, a dog park, a fitness center (maybe I'll actually start working out), a computer lab, a playground and the apartments are absolutely gorgeous. We are also super close to Lake Norman (I want a Kayak, as soon as possible)!!
I will also miss not living as close to my family as we do now! But with so many fun things to do in Charlotte, they now have a reason to come visit!
Please continue to pray for us, or think happy thoughts for us!
We are so excited, stressed (because of packing), nervous, ready to rock and roll, up for the challenge, and super happy to begin this new *voyage*!! (I'm on a boat....)
"Find rest, oh my soul, in God alone. My hope comes from him!"
Much love,
Callie Marie Presley
