Something Exciting Has Happened

Something exciting has happened.
Something so exciting I can hardly contain myself. On saturday at 12:34 I received a phone call that changed the course of my future, well at least my summer.
I am going to be an Oakcrest Counselor/Craft Specialist.
I went to Oakcrest Girls Camp twice as a youth and I love it. Ever since then it has kinda always been in the back of my mind that I could be an Oakcrest Counselor. So I applied in December. In January I had an interview where I was surrounded by 15 women who were all asking me questions. Now I am pretty good at interviews but this was different. 15 women asking me every question on every topic. From spiritual to platonic and many questions about my dear sister who was a counselor two summers ago. (You can read about her experiences here.)
After waiting for almost a whole month the day finally came. All day Saturday I was anxious and nervous. I was lucky I was able to sleep the night before. I had driven out to Nibley with Habitat for Humanity to work on some houses and sure enough right after we pulled up I got the call. Here is about how it went:
12:34 phone rings
me: (thinking) *oh it is a 435 area code, it probably isn't about Oakcrest* (435 is a Logan area code)
I answered my phone
Me: Hello?
caller: Hi is this Maegan?
Me: This is She.
caller: Hi this is Coco from Oakcrest.
Me: (thinking) *OH MY GOSH THIS IS ABOUT OAKCREST!!! DO THEY CALL PEOPLE IF THEY DON'T GET THE JOB? DOES THIS MEAN I GOT THE JOB?!?!? AHHHHHH!!!!!)
Caller: I am calling because we want to offer you the position of Craft Specialist would you be willing to accept?
Me: *trying so hard to contain myself* YES! I would love to accept!!!
Caller: ok well we will be sending you more information in the mail next week. Ah I am so excited I just love you already! We are so excited!
Me: I am too!
Caller: well we will see you soon!
*hangs up*
meanwhile, while this conversation is going on I am literally having to cover my mouth to keep my screams of excitement contained.
So, yup, I am pretty excited.
