Two Weeks Notice-Round 2

I never thought I would be writing another post like this so soon but here goes nothin'.  As most of you know, I took a senior financial reporting role at RRI Energy 10 months ago.  Although I was not looking for another job, one just kind of fell in my lap.  Over Memorial weekend, I ran into my senior manager from Ernst & Young at Kroger.  She actually left EY a few months before I did and took the Assistant Controller position at BMC software.  We chatted for a few minutes about both of our new jobs, etc. and went about our shopping.  A few weeks ago, she called me and said that she had a position open up in her financial reporting group and wanted me to go work with her.  I was excited about the prospect of getting to work with her again since I really enjoyed working for her at EY.  We talked about the position and what it would entail, and I met the director that works under her.  Everything just seemed to fall in place.  In general, I will be doing the same job I am doing now but with some added responsibilities.  Although it will most likely be an increase in hours and workload, I am really looking forward to the new challenge.  Jason and I are both really excited about this change and feel like it was God's plan for us at this stage in our life.  I just don't believe that it was coincidence that we were both at Kroger at the same time and that a few months later this position opened up.  My last day at RRI will be September 13th, and I start at BMC the very next day.  We are praying for a smooth transition and that this job will be a great fit for the two of us.
