So for those of you who don't know, I lost my job two weeks ago. The last two weeks have been tough for us, especially me. I'm not going to bore you with the details of what happened but just know it was stupid and unfair. This is the first time I have ever not had a job since I started working at 16. I was really upset the first few days because it was so sudden and unexpected. I was hurt and mad for a while. But I started job hunting right away. It was kinda fun the first week to hang out at home all day. I could stay in my pj's all day and no one cared. I could do just about anything I wanted as long as I looked for a job. But the last few days I have gotten so over this. I just want to have a job. At first I was worried that it will be like this when I have kids and stay home with them. But then I realized there is no way I will ever have this much free time once I have kids!! I am looking forward to next week because I already have 3 interviews scheduled. I'm also dreading waking up Monday morning and starting another week without a job. I wish we were super rich so I could spend all my free time shopping and getting pampered. I've never realized before what a blessing it was to have a job. I am so grateful for my Savior and for the promptings and guidance I have had. I know this happened for a reason and I am trusting in the Lord to help me figure out where to go next. I am so thankful for my amazing friends and family. Everyone has been so encouraging and helpful; it has truly been amazing. I am extra grateful for John right now. He has pushed me and encouraged me. He also gets up every day and works his butt off at work or school so he can provide for me. And more than anything all of the love and support he has for me. i know I can get through anything with him by my side!
One a happier note, the rest of our life is going great! We really love living in Grover Beach; it is quite an entertaining town. We absolutely love our ward and we have some amazing friends. We have gotten really close to Steve and Kelsey Ingoldsby. They are some of the best friends we've ever had! John is in the last two weeks of the spring semester at Cuesta and is starting to get ready for his finals. I am really loving the Pathway program. I just finished my third week of classes and this semester is already completely different then the last. I am seeing myself grow as a student, a person and in spirit. If anyone is interested in joining the program, they will be starting a new group in this area in the fall. There is going to be a fireside for those who want to learn more. Call, text, or message me if you want more info. Well that's about it for us. Love you all!! And thanks again for your love and support :)
