It's always because of someone else that I start writing anything journal-like, whether in an actual journal or online. Today Rebecca, my sister, wrote an email to all of us inviting us to view her new blogspot. So, in turn that made me want to try and start writing on here again... Heaven knows, I have the time.
I am currently still actively searching for a job. I have been unemployeed over 40 days now and have sent out over 80 resumes. I have had 2 interviews (plus one 2nd interview with one of those interviews) and have another one this afternoon.... so 3 places out of the 80 I applied to have gotten back with me. I, fortunately, filed for unemployment soon after being laid off and that has helped with my money situation immensely.
You'd think that I would enjoy this time off more, but it's actually been extremely stressful. So stressful that it completely doesn't feel like I have had any time off. If definitely hasn't been a vacation. But I'm sure that someday here soon, someone, somewhere will hire me and I can once again breath and start dreaming of my future. It's hard to think of the future when you're not doing anything to progress and get there, ya know?
For example, Randall and I will be celebrating our choppy, but wonderful, four years together come this Saturday. Although we are not engaged yet, we still talk about what we will do together with our first house and when, God-willing, we start having children. Our original goal was to try and get a house as soon as our lease is up this coming October, but I don't think that will be possible unless I get a GREAT job and his business takes off flying or he lands his ultimate job: being a firefighter. The market is perfect right now, and unfortunately, my situation couldn't be more grim.
Currently Randall is taking night classes to become an EMT. It's really exciting for him to be learning all of that stuff. Not only because I like learning the bits and pieces of information from him, but I like that he will always have that knowledge, even if he didn't end up using it in a career setting. He is blessed with many talents and I do not fear for our future in any way. We're just getting a slow start on things; I'm sure our lives together will get a jump-start here soon... I can feel it.
The picture above was taken two weeks ago at a Phoenix Roadrunners game. It was SOOOOO much fun. We had the best seats, right on the glass, right across from the teams. I don't know why I always attract the mascots, but I do. I even called it. Before we sat down in our seats, I was like, "Randall, don't get mad when the mascot comes and starts flirting with me!" And sure enough at the break between the 2nd and 3rd quarters, here comes the mascot "Rocky the Roadrunner" up to the glass in front of us, as "Hey hey you you I don't want your girlfriend" started playing, so he signaled to Randall that he should be killed with a feather-finger to his neck and that I should be his new girlfriend. Rocky kept skating by me after that so I took this picture... good times... haha..
