This will be my last post today. I know I have done a marathon of posts, but I have been so busy the last week that I haven't had a chance to blog. Part of the reason I have been so busy is that J got a job--hooray! It has been a rough four months without an income. I started back to work part-time August 1st and have been working nights from 4-9 pm Monday-Friday, and Saturdays from 8-10 am. It has been a mixed blessing going back to work. On one hand it has been nice to get out of the condo, and on another, it has been hard leaving everyone.
On the day Kimie came to visit, I got a call from my boss. He wanted me to start working full-time from 12:30-9:00 pm. Knowing part-time will not take care of us financially, I accepted on the conditional basis that once J gets a job that the hours I work will have to be readjusted. Less than two hours later, J also got a call. He got the job for which he had interviewed earlier that week! Yay! The only problem--it is up in Layton (for those of you not familiar with Utah geography, Layton is further north than Salt Lake; it is over an hour drive one way from Orem). So, I had to let my boss know that not only would I not be working full-time, I was putting in my two week notice. He was very disappointed and offered for me to work 8-5 on Fridays since Josh will be working four ten hour days. J and I decided that for the time being, we will do that to help build our savings back up, since we have completely depleted it over the last few months.
In the meantime, we are very happy with the place we are living, but it looks like we will start looking for a place up north. We aren't sure if we will go as far as Layton, we are thinking maybe Clearfield, which isn't too far from Layton. We shall see. It is really nice to be able to stop "dreaming" about the future and actually start planning and doing.
