my new job!!

a few weeks ago i got a job offer to work at google

and started a few days later! it has been a whirlwind and

definitely a dream come true. i have wanted to work

at this company before we even lived in california, then

chase got an amazing job there so it was a no-brainer

once i finished TFA and my master's degree...

i HAD to apply! it was a long process and i was

 trying to find a good fit with different start-ups and

companies in san francisco, but at the end of the day

all i wanted was to work at this amazing company.

i still can't believe it's real! i love it and feel lucky to

be part of it. i'm working in recruiting as an RC

and the best people work there! i'm loving being

able to meet chase for breakfast or lunch any day,

go to a work out class together, or take the g-bus.

(although we've both been so busy that sometimes

we don't even see each other until we're back at

our place despite working a few buildings apart!)

google is not only insanely fun, it really is

changing the world. the information it provides

{for free!} to the world has changed the way we live

our lives and the way we communicate. daily i use

google maps, gmail, search, google shopping express,

blogger :), google news, google wallet, chromecast,

google drive, youtube, ... the list goes on and on.

they are always innovating and trying new things

and working on being the best possible. it makes me

want to do the same! here is a taste of life at google:

^^ reallllly serious meeting in the ball pit...

^^ just a normal gourmet lunch being served.

i freak out every day at the amazing food!

^^ see what i mean? so many options.

^^ morning muesli, now addicted.

 ^^ so much healthy goodness

^^ also sooo many good treats :)

different froyo flavors every day with

every topping, what's a girl to do? also,

although i don't drink coffee i still stop by

the coffee bar a lot for my new favorite:

iced hot chocolate. slightly in love.

^^ fresh fruit + acai bowls = the best.

 ^^and, lots of fun pictures from our first day

scavenger hunt all around google headquarters.

{don't worry, our team won!}

lunch dates during busy weeks ^

^^ can google get any more perfect?

regardless of all the fun + good food,

i really am so proud and happy to work

here because of the impact they have.

here's to a fun new chapter!

see chase's first week of work at google,
one year ago almost exactly.. crazy!
