Confirmed!

I got the job! Starting July 22nd I will be a digital producer at Wieden + Kennedy, specifically assigned to the Kraft and Proctor and Gamble accounts. 

A dream come true. 

The interviews went very well. The people I met with were very kind and legitimately interested in my answers to their questions. The interviews were conducted in the "Bird's Nest," a location I might get used to seeing after working there a couple years. Here's a photo:

I have truly loved my time in Colorado. It is a difficult place to leave. But we are very anxious to get to the Pacific Northwest and find out what it's like living up there. And of course I'm crazy excited to start working at W+K. I have been a huge fan of the shop since my days at BBF&E in Vegas way back in the late 90s. You can tell when you are watching or hearing an W+K spot, because it doesn't feel like advertising. It feels much more authentic. 

There is so much up in the air right now, including where we are going to live (Oregon or Washington?) and when our house will sell so my family can join me (I intend to start working while they are still in Colorado). I don't even know where my desk will be located! No idea where the restrooms are! We don't know where the corporate housing we'll be in for the first four weeks is located. What does an Oregon or a Washington driver's license look like?

This is such an exciting time of our lives. I'm really looking forward to getting this party started!
