Looking backward...but only to move forward THREE

So, I had the phone screen with the nonprofit and it went really well. They want me to come in on Monday AM for an interview. they really liked my program management and functional management experience. The position is for an event coordinator for their major events. They know I don't have specific event management experience.

Hey, does anyone reading this have skills in event management for nonprofits? They sent me an email saying that that will be one of the interview questions (walk thru the planning process, discuss key considerations for success, etc). Please, CHIME IN! I've done some googling and will do more.

Now, of course, getting this job (if I did) would mean a BIG, BIG hit in salary if I took it. It's exactly the right kind of foot in the door for me to get into the nonprofit world and I feel as though I could succed with it but the $$$ feels like an overwhelming "challenge". H still has a year left in law school so the timing is sort of crappy for this whole thing.

That being said, h is being AWESOME and is completely rocked about it. I met him after school last night and he was so totally pumped up and was making all kinds of suggestions about how we could swing it, etc. 100% support from him. He told me that he would call our financial planner today to tell her the details and get her thinking about possible scenarios (note that his taking the reins on this is a big 180 for him). There's no question that he's being absolutely wonderful and amazingly supportive and tremendous!!! I am totally lucky!

I just had my performance review at work. It went super well. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed when I think about this weekend...tons of homework, prepping for the interview, I have too many "unbreakable" plans, ugh!!!

Oh, yah, it's only a weekend! I can get thru it, right?
