9 Months After Graduation....

           Hi again everyone! Sorry I’ve been very busy working and playing Skyrim when I get home, and the last thing I tend to want to see after work is a computer screen, but tonight I write! I told you all this was going to be a good year and it is! My husband just started his internship with the Department of Corrections today. It took them eternity to get back to us after his background check was completed, but “Having Faith in God is having faith in His timing too”. If that wasn’t exciting enough, well, he also has a very good opportunity to be hired at a local Pawn shop. Said pawn shop(s) have just fired tons of people from their store(s) and we have some networking peeps that might be able to help! He turned in his resume and met with the manager there already, and has an interview for next week!

I personally have been so excited that I let myself do some house searches…It’s like wedding dress searches, only for married homeless people lol. My job is going alright, I’m still learning quite a lot and I still have quite a lot more to learn, but that’s a good thing I believe.  It’s great experience, that’s for sure. If my husband get’s this job with the pawn shop then we will have to get really creative seeing as we only have one car and there is virtually no public transportation in this area. My friend who got me the job that I have has said she will car pool with me if need be, plus my mother and grandmother have both offered to give rides if all else fails.

I have not told “said family members”, from my last blog, who were being unsupportive, that I have this job yet. Not because it’s a big secret or anything, if it was I wouldn’t be blogging about it, but because I really feel they don’t deserve to hear it from me. Well I have a second reason too that I less like to admit, and that is I’m sure it would upset them even further that I got a job before my husband and I am working and he is not (they don’t consider an internship to be worth much, and it’s nothing if it’s not earning money to them).  Once he has solidified this job with the pawn shop then maybe, only maybe, will I even consider telling them either of us is working. Mostly that is because I’m still mad at them for being so unsupportive and such that I don’t even really want to talk to them for a while longer.

However, I must say that those family members are few and many of my and all of my husband’s family have been very supportive and kind. We are so blessed to have them, and friends who are so awesome! Things are slowly changing for us, and though patience is difficult, very difficult, it is proving worth it. I still believe that God had us come here for a reason, had us wait for a reason, and sometimes now and again I am catching glimpses of perhaps why, and for that I have to say I am thankful.

Anyway that’s about all I can catch you all up on for now. If anyone has any questions or comments or anything just let me know and I will try to answer. I will keep you all posted on how things go for us. Thank you all so much for reading!

Much Love,

Val
