That is how I feel these days... Ho Hum! I have spent the last 12 months doing a lot of different things (traveled with my husband when he went on business trips, had the honor of photographing some great people, ate out A LOT, suffered anxiety, hung out with friends, made a lot of new friends, watched a lot of TV shows, and more) but one thing that I have done over and over again is look for a job - to no avail. I never knew looking for a job (not just any job, one that I want to stay at for a very long time) would be so difficult. Countless hours searching job sites, updating my resume, updating my cover letter, receiving rejection emails and letters. Out of the gazillion (it seems that way) resumes I submitted, I only have had 5 interviews. Pretty frustrating! I typically walk away from an interview with a pretty good idea what the outcome will be and I am usually right. Out of the 5 interviews that I have had... 3 of them I felt like I was a shoo in but for 2 of them - that wasn't the case. I will let you know about the 3rd one as I have to wait until Friday to learn my fate. Crossing fingers and toes and sending up lots of prayers!
I am extremely excited that part of the ho hum feeling will be going 'bye-bye' in a couple months. We have come to the realization that we can finally move (thanks to the Financial Peace University class we have been taking through church). We have to save, save, save! But it will be well worth the sacrifice. I think that our current living situation has been a godsend and am truly thankful that we have a house to live in - it's just not HOME. Well, it is a home (for Peter's parents)... it's just not OUR home! I am praying that the right house will become available to us in the next 2 months and we can move. You see, we are sort of limited to where we can move unless we want to pay a lot of money to keep the girls at the school where they are. And houses to rent are limited within the school boundaries but I pray God will let the right house come available. Peter and I were talking a little bit ago that neither of us really feel like we LIVE in Texas. Sure the girls go to school, we go grocery shopping, and our cars indicate that we live here, but we realized that since we don't have a place to call our own... we don't feel like Texas residents. Kinda strange feeling too - especially when I have gone back to Arizona to visit (where I was born and raised) it doesn't feel like home either. Anywho, I know that we are all excited to move into a place we can call ours and take up roots here 'deep in the heart of Texas'. Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-)
Well, I must finish up my ramblings so I can get some chores done. Until next time. Happy March!
