I have the coolest job ever.

Okay. So the title may or may not be self-explanatory, but for those of us who don't read titles.... i'll reiterate. I have THE coolest job ever.
(No... I'm not talking about working at Johnny's. lol).

so, this awesome lady spoke at my church, knew my dad, and needed help one day. she is an author of various christian novels and lives literally 2.5 minutes from my house. i went over there that first time and love her and her family. she's thirty(ish?). she wanted to be president when she was growing up. she went to school with the original intention of majoring in international communications, but later changed to a religion major. and then decided to become an author. (for those of you who know me.... no, i did not meet myself 13 years from now... we look nothing alike). anyways, besides the fact that she and i have so much in common, i helped her out for a couple of days writing handwritten cards to every single family christian book store in the u.s. it was a lot of cards.
then, i was dumbfounded when she asked me if i would like to be hired, part time as her intern-assistant. i, of course, accepted. and that's what i do in my spare time nowadays.
i assist an author. its awesome. its a whole different side to this whole writing deal that is oh so insiteful and facinating. it really is my cup of tea (as i realized today).
so the hours are completely flexible and its just a desk job basically. but its facinating.
today.... she asked me to proofread a study she wrote that goes along with a gary smalley book. (now most people my age would say... are you kidding me? that is not fun... but oh goodness. i had a hayday). I LOVE TO PROOFREAD. its totally a geeky-geeky uniqueness of me. ha.... she realized this when i caught things that she said that only she would have ever caught.
then, i got paid to read blogs that people wrote that reviewed her books. now this is the whole reason i'm not writing her name or any of her books names in this. because i don't want to have to find my blog in my inbox tomorrow to go through. ha. but if you really want to know, ask.
after all that snoop-a-looping, i got paid to go through the bible and look up scripture and different stories she could possibly use for the next study she is writing. i got paid to read the bible. now THAT is a cool job.

i also love her family. she lives on golf course , with a beautiful view. her and her husband have this super dorky relationship because they are both so so in love. its cute. and they have this adorable dog, hershey who just sat on my lap and cuddled with me all day.

needlesstosay. i love my job. i could totally do this for real someday. (not just the administrative assistanting) but like the legitimate writing of a book. it would be a dream come true!

Two things:
1. Lucky
2. If a dog fits in one's lap, it isn't a dog
3. (I know I said two, but this is tricky) You'd better be taking creative writing.
