I'm still here I promise!

Alright... so the few of you who read this, will already know that I have been deciding whether or not to stay here a few months longer than intended, in order to have an opportunity for a supervisor position here at the hotel, at the restaurant I already work in.

Here is the deal--the position has opened, and all of my management have approached me, telling me that they want me to apply and that they think I would be a great candidate. I met with the manager of my restaurant yesterday, to go over specifics, and he told me that it WOULDN'T be another 6 month contract, it wouldn't be on a signed contract at all--however if I were to leave before 6 months I could be screwing them over and he may not give me a good reference in the future... haha. Also, it is an incredible opportunity for career advancement working in the hospitality industry, and as a team leader. Apparently my name has come up a FEW times from many people in meetings and what not, talking about this position. He finished with saying, "I'm looking forward to seeing your application".

So what it comes down to now is me applying, which I am going to do! I've decided that this IS a great opportunity for me, especially because I've only been employed here for 2 months and they are offering this to me. It ultimately means that yes, I will be here for longer than I had originally intended, but it will be for the better in the end. Other things that are also incredibly important to me, will work out, if God wills it. Time to have some faith!

In other news, it snowed here ALL DAY yesterday!! I swear we got 20 cm. And it's May??! Also, the power in all of Banff/Canmore/Lake Louise went out at 12am until 9am last night. Chaos!! Exciting though :)

The next week ahead of me is going to be extremely exhausting, because I am working at 6:15am and 6:30 pm every day, for the next 4 days, then on tuesday and wednesday I am working mornings at Quiksilver, and evenings at the Fairmont. UGH.

Mom--look out for something in the mail for you!

Dad--you too!

Love and miss everyone!

I also say congratulations on your decision. By reading your blog I can tell that you are a very hard working girl, so you truly deserve the opportunity that they are offering you.
Also, if your Dad thinks you have made the right decision, I am sure that he's right. (I love your Dad, he's always so encouraging, and you are so lucky to have him.)

Beautiful photos. We have stayed at the Banff Springs 3 times, the last 2 Christmas, and also on April 2006.
We really like all about that hotel, we were very, very unlucky with our room last Christmas, but still we hope to be back once again this coming Christmas. Your photos brought me good memories.
Thanks for sharing and lots of luck in whatever you decide to do!

Take care.
