"I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." ~Thomas Jefferson

This week has been pretty awesome! It all happened so fast, but earlier this week, The Ritz-Carlton called and asked if I would come in to talk with HR. So, on Thursday, I went by and they told me about a job that became available that sounded just up my alley. I think the title is Human Resources Coordinator and it basically assists HR in all the employee activities, charities and training. There are over 350 employees there and they have a crazy amount of fun events they put on for them. Plus, the Ritz is very active on-island with charities like the Boys & Girls Club and Community Footprints. So, after taking four computer tests and four interviews on Thursday, they offered me the job =) It's Monday through Friday, 9-5, great salary, paid days off and benefits. Never in a million years did I think I would find a career in the virgin islands. But everything happens for a reason, I guess. All I know is I am pretty stoked and start on Tuesday :)


We can see the backside of The Ritz-Carlton property from our apartment balcony.
I just took this photo of it...


The photos on the Ritz website do not even come close to showing how freaking beautiful the property is, but here are a few to give you an idea...

It's so beautiful, it hardly looks real. I'm so proud of you, but not surprised.
