Company Arrives Tomorrow!

I am very excited that my brother and nieces arrive tomorrow night!  I've had a terrible allergy flair up that started on Sunday.  Hopefully tomorrow it will move on out and I can get down to business of having fun with my family.

Taylor gave me a great surprise yesterday morning when she told me she was coming to see me November 3 for a week!  I've super stoked about it and I've very excited my parents will arrive for two weeks beginning September 23.

Still no news from the Westin.  Tomorrow will be a week since my third interview.  I've grateful for Mark, Kaylea, and Megan's arrive to give me a much needed distraction.

Maui Eldorado - Nope

I received a call today from a lady working at an Outrigger Hotel stating that she received my resume from Maui Eldorado and they had made their decision to go with someone else; however, they forwarded my resume to her to see if I was interested in a on-call position.  I explained since I'm the sole provider, on-call is simply not an option and asked her to please keep me in mind for a full-time position in the future.

Employment in the area is pretty bleak due to being "off season" but I'm holding firm to the belief that God is going to open a door very, very soon.  In fact, tomorrow would be pretty sweet!  

Almost a Professional Interviewee

I had my third interview with the Westin people.  The Sheraton guy wasn't at the meeting, so I met with the first two people I interviewed with the first time around.  We're becoming fast friends at this rate.  Initially I thought I was being interviewed for the marketing rep job at the Sheraton property; however, after a bit into the interview, I wasn't so sure.

The interview was a quiz-a-thon regarding tons of concierge questions ending with an impromptu marketing pitch to take the condo tours.  Geez, no pressure there.  I feel it went well and they seemed pleased...we'll see what happens in the days to come.

Another Interview at Westin

I received a call from the last manager I interviewed with at the Westin Resort.  I have an interview on Tuesday at 1:00 with the first two people I interviewed with and, perhaps, a new person.  Hmmmm, I'm intrigued.  We'll see what Tuesday brings.

The island is crowded with lots of tourists for the holiday, so I worked and painted trim boards and doors in the condo.  Tonight, Cyndi, Reese, and I went to watch another gorgeous sunset.  Lots of people were out tonight and I met one of Cyndi's friend, Isabelle.  We had such a great time.  I really do love Maui.  When the job situation gets under control, it will be fantastic.  In the meantime, however, I sure am enjoying paradise.  Enjoy the beautiful sunset pics!

Turning Over a New Leaf

After much thought, I've decided I'm going to try the gluten-free lifestyle.  Cyndi, Reese, and I started the day with homemade blueberry pancakes and then went to Kahului grocery shopping at Whole Foods and Costco.  The house is well stocked with everything gluten free. 

Taylor is in town this weekend.  Drew and Hannah arrive in Burleson late tonight.  It sure is hard being here and knowing they are all together with the family.  The good news is my brother, Mark, and my nieces, Kaylea and Megan, arrive in Maui September 11 for a week, followed by a two-week visit by my parents.  I can't wait!

Drew and Hannah at the Tech game today.  Beautiful couple!

Jaylee and Brody visited their great grandparents.

Crazy Taylor and Meghan FaceTimed me tonight.  "Aye, Aye Matey.  I'll make ye walk the plank!"
