Just tell me where to go!!!

I'm currently in the process of picking the city where I want to start out my career in. Which makes me really grateful for how I got my internship. It went like this: 

Ashley (Intern Manager at Del Sol): "Would you like to intern in San Antonio, TX?" 
Chantel: "YES YES YES YES YES!!!! Wait, where did you say again? Oh well, it doesn't matter! EEEEEEEEKKKKK I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!"

I didn't have to pick where to go! I knew that Heavenly Father loved me after giving me that internship after having been originally rejected on a minor misunderstanding. I would have never picked or planned on going to San Antonio, yet it ended up being the biggest blessing and learning experience of my life. It was incredible! 

I've had a very different experience with getting this job. 

I mean, I submitted my resume because the job description sounded intriguing, but I was NOT sold on the idea of power tools. I mean, I'm a girl- basically a barbie doll girl at that. I love makeup, boots, pink, sparkles and kittens. Literally as girly as they come. And then when they wanted to interview me twice, I kept asking them, "are you SURE you want me? This seems like a man's job." But everyone at the company was so nice to me, and reassured me that I was exactly what they were looking for. 

Then when I was getting ready to start the third round interviews in Baltimore, I was saying a prayer before I walked out the door, I just started crying. What the heck? Why am I crying now? It's messing up my perfect makeup! But I was crying because I knew that if I wanted this, Heavenly Father would let me have it. I knew I could do it. I knew I wanted this and I would have the job if I tried my hardest and did my best. 

I was so depressed when the call came late. Seriously, clinically depressed. And then I got my offer 3 days late, and I screamed and texted almost everyone in my contacts, I was so excited! 

Anyways, now the hardest part is knowing where Heavenly Father wants me to go. Out of 18 cities, I've slowly narrowed the list down to 6, then 4, and now 2. I'm either going to San Francisco or Austin.  I think I know which one is the right choice, but I got to make sure Heavenly Father agrees. After all, I've had a hunch that future husband is just chilling where my job is going to take me, so I have to make sure I make the right choice!

So, please pray for me to make the right decision! It would mean so much to me, and I know they will be answered!
