I am now the future business reporter for the Loveland Reporter-Herald. I decided to take the job and am at peace with the decision (most of the time). My editor is allowing me to start on December 17 rather than the 10th, so I can still go to Dallas and Austin upon my return, which I am very excited about. Plus, I don't have to work on Christmas or New Year's Day, although I have to work both of the eves - but that's the life of a daily newspaper reporter. I better get used to it.
On Thursday I depart for Dublin. I can't wait to see the Devins and eat a big Thanksgiving dinner. My friend Courtney and I are in charge of cooking dinner for about 20 people - yikes. Mike keeps talking about how much he wants to see a highland cow (which live in Scotland) and kiss the Blarney stone (which is too far out of the Dublin for our quick trip). But, I'm sure he'll be happy to be in town with the Guinness and Jameson factories and English speakers.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
(And for anyone who was not born in the 1980s, April O'Neil was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' journalist sidekick in the cartoon. She was a red-head who donned an orange jumpsuit. When I was little and played with the boys, I was always given the part of April, because apparently female ninja turtles are unheard of. I wrote about this influence in my application to journalism school in college, and it got me in! Upon hearing of my new job, one of my best friends immediately started calling me April. )

The Loveland Reporter-Herald is very lucky to have you! Another new adventure---being a grown-up. It's not always what it's cracked up to be, but you'll be great at it.
