So, with my new job I decided to make Andrea Cooley an official entity. Now I introduce myself over the phone and in person as Andrea Cooley. Every morning when I log into my computer I type a C instead of an S. This is going to take some getting used to. Right now it doesn't even look right. I really like S, C seems boring. I also think it adds to the confusion when things are acooley, because that's Adam. Maybe I should have found a husband with a different name (keep that in mind girls). My first day on the job, the editorial assistant had to ask me if I was going by Schmidt or Cooley. I had filled out a contract typing my name as Andrea Schmidt, but signing it Andrea Cooley.
My other new identity is less significant in some ways, but still very exciting. I am an EDITOR. Today I was in a meeting for my group and the "editors" had to stay after for something, and I realized that that's me now. I'm not an intern or a freelancer. This is the real thing. WOW. The first weeks and months will be overwelming, but everyone is really nice and they all seem to think I know what I'm doing, so hopefully their vote of confidence takes me places I didn't think possible.

andrea you are so cool.... or shall I say Cooley :)
basically I just want to express how excited I am for you and your new job. It will be an amazing experience for sure. Isn't it crazy to think that this is it, this is what we've been preparing ourselves for, has all our hard work we put into our drake degrees finally pay off as we all are taking a great first step into our careers? Even more interesting though, as I've come to understand, as much as we are ready for this, as prepared and confident we appear to be, we are still young, we have so much more to learn...and who knows, ten years from now we could even been in different career paths. All that I do know though is that we need to continue to follow our hearts, keep our eyes on the Lord and be thankful for the many blessings he has given us.
