it has been a summer of hopeful anticipation but ricks has finally made it into the business school! i am so proud of that boy and how hard he works. i am so glad the business school wanted him and made it possible for him to be there. i am so excited about the many different opportunities that are now available to us and the chance that this gives ricks to work at doing something that he will actually enjoy!
its been a long, hard battle but we finally made it! congrats, ricks!!

employment!
so.... out of the blue, i have a job. a real-live, 40-hours-a-week, paying job! what the what?!
since starting school, my attention has definitely been focused on being a full-time student and i havent been looking too hard for a job. plus, ive had a few part-time gigs that have kept me busy and i just havent felt the need. essentially, i was passively looking. i would apply when opportunities came up that sounded appealing to me.
a few weeks ago, a friend from my church posted on facebook that there was a job opportunity for an administrative assistant position and asked if anyone was interested. i replied yes, assuming nothing would come of it.
then, i was called to come in and interview - since that is such a rare response for me to get, i got cautiously hopeful. when i went into the interview, we talked for a few minutes and then i was offered the job! SO COOL!
so now i am working at a construction company here in davis. the commute is about 10 minutes and i really like the people im working with and what i am doing. ill be doing mostly administrative work initially and will slowly pick up other tasks, such as accounting work, as needs be.
its a great job for me especially because it is a perfect stepping stone towards librarian work. i also love it because it is close and because it is a small company which solicits growth on my part - more opportunities to different jobs!
i am so grateful for the chance to learn, contribute, and begin to establish more financial independence for my little family. phew! what a relief : )
