I checked the LDS jobs website, The Department of Workforce Services, and the USU job board on an almost daily basis. I was applying for jobs right and left. I applied for so many that I would get an email saying I didn't get the position, but I didn't even remember applying. I had a few interviews and all seemed very promising. Every single one said that I would for sure hear back from them. I didn't.
Well, 4 months later, I GOT A JOB!!! And one that I will really like. Starting Monday, I will be a runner for Bearnson & Peck, a law firm here in Logan. I will work from 12:00 to 5:30 which will work perfectly with my school schedule as well as my family time. We celebrated by rearranging our furniture.
Did I mention that I'm not going to Utah State anymore? It wasn't working out for me. I have a really hard time learning without doing something to reinforce it in my mind. So, I transferred to Bridgerland Applied Technology College. When I first considered going, I felt like maybe I was cheating myself out and settling for something less and I was a little embarrassed about it. However, now that I'm in school, it is so perfect for me. I get to work at my own pace, and everything is hands-on. I'm in the Business Technology program, so we learn all the computer programs that would be used in an office setting as well as a 10-key calculator, and some good skills for finding a job and being a good employee.
So, finding a job was a really huge stress for a while, but looking back, I have seen so many blessings come from it. Home teachers and visiting teachers were praying for me, people were letting me know of job openings, etc. It was so great! I'm so grateful to be surrounded by so many wonderful people who will be there to help when I need it.
Anyway, I'm super excited! The only sad part is that this little girl will be home alone a little bit longer.
She needs a friend. James told me that if I could find a free Boston Terrier, we could get another one. If anyone knows of any... let me know. :)
