SUPER DAY....

So I watched the Super Bowl today with some American friends...that happened to be late to the bar/cafe that was showing the Super Bowl. So I sat by myself listening to the National Anthem. I was by far not only the only one that cared but that was excited to hear it! And get this?!?!?!?! NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!!! I was so bummed because I had LA friends that had made the "Casket" TV commercial for Doritos and I was SOOO excited to see it. Evidently I was watching Australian ESPN and only saw ESPN and Soccer World Cup ads. BOOO :( Nonetheless, I had my American fix and felt normal in the American bubble we created. It was quite funny to see their version of Chili Cheese Nachos. Cheese sauce with Sweet Chili Sauce on top. WHAT?!?!?! But in the end it was okay.

Also....we had EXCITING news on the job front!

The owner of the company called and he must have liked what I wrote because he wants to see me in person!

The interview is at 2pm my time so at 5pm your time tomorrow. I am meeting with the owner about being his personal assistant and he is seeing if I have what he wants/needs and I am seeing if I want this position.

ALSO.....COOL Sam's stuff!!!

The major NZ photographer we met with a few weeks ago that LOVED his stuff and said it was better than what was out there called him today. He wants to hire Sam for his Stock Photo business (which is a super hard industry to break into) and told him to call a Stock Photo agency as well because he has been talking to them about Sam! And he wants him to assist him in March!!! It is so encouraging and exciting!!! And what we were hoping for! I think that it might be quicker than we think for him to break into this industry and do it in the area he wants not just doing weddings/portraits. Plus he got a phot shoot with a model today and another one with his sister (she wants to submit a portfolio to a model agency) Such an exciting day!!!

Thanks for being a part of the process with us. It has been such a step of vulnerable faith to share all of this but so worth it and I am so thankful I did!

Check out Sam's new photos he just put up. ("Waitangi Day") We are also sending them off to 2 major magazines this week in hopes that they will see the quality of Sam's photos even though they aren't taking freelance photographers at the moment.

Thanks again guys!!
