New Job...Head Pastry Chef for Milton's Resturant...

If life wasn't crazy enough, I went and added some more madness to the mix. This week, I began my new job as the head pastry chef for a restaurant in our town called Milton's. I am really excited about the job and about the possibilities that it holds and the opportunities for growth both personally and professionally. It will be great on my resume as it is an upscale resturant with a great reputation.

I didn't actually seek out the job...we were at our town fair/festival and I had a booth for Elegance by Emily. We happened to be set up next to Milton's booth. They came and asked me to come interview for the position. So, last week, I went in and had a pretty intense interview process. I had to do a verbal interview one day, go in one day and make all of the restaurants desserts, and then another day go in and create a new dessert for the restaurant. I did a Red Velvet Cheesecake for them that went over pretty good....good enough I guess to get the job.

I work part time on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays for about 5 or 6 hours. We are still trying to work everything out schedule wise and with the kids but it will all work out.

I have to admit, it was pretty exciting going in and ordering brand new equipment and supplies and none of it was my money and having people listen to how I want the desserts done and the menus laid out.

Yes...I guess you could say we are one busy family between jobs, companies, kids, church callings, and school...but we are so grateful for all of our blessings. We have been so so blessed as a family!
