So, we went to Mary Anne's for a game night a week or two ago, and played twister and fun Wii games, and ate awesome ice cream. We had a lot of fun, here are some pics from the night.
The game went down like this. Everyone started off great, Walker being the referee slash the position maker. Then TJ lost, then the girls lost, then...
Yay for him. His prize from Mary Anne for winning was a foam sword, that got used on everyone that night. We had fun. These kind of nights make me really thankful for having friends here in Nebraska. It's super hard to be somewhere really far away from home and from your family, but friends like these make it a lot easier.
Other than that, the past couple weeks have been a little emotionally draining. Nothing specific, but I got offered a job at the SAC credit union, and turned it down because it didn't feel right, i wouldn't be getting paid enough and because I don't have the heart to start a job and then quit when a new, better one comes along. Maybe I just need to be meaner, but I told the guy that offered me the job, "I basically don't want to screw you guys over when a new and better job comes along. I don't want to start your job and then keep looking for another job and take it a month into this job." He responded nicely and said that that quality in me was the reason why he wanted me to work with him to begin with. But he understood and wished me good luck. That was probably the easiest part of deciding about the job. It was really emotional because I felt as though I deserved more and that I wasn't going to be happy, but TJ was really pushing me to get it and so was everyone else. But now that that's done, one of the local banks around here has called me for a part time position. I know this may be contradicting myself and my own beliefs from above, but would it be so bad if when I find an awesome-er job and work there, if I quit? We really need the money and I just don't want to go through this emotional hoopla again. I think they are hiring a PT person and if I find a better job in a couple months, and leave them for it, it wouldn't be AS big of a deal to leave them for it than it would have been a FT, real, lifetime job at the credit union...I don't know... My interview is tomorrow...I'll try to post how it goes.
So TJ and I have started watching LOST. It's good but if there ends up being a monster in the forest, it will ruin the whole thing for me. Up until now, everything has been totally do-able. But if a monster comes out, that makes it unrealistic and then I get turned off to it. I have no imagination apparently.
Well, other than that, not much has happened since my last post, except busting my butt bone falling down a stair or two. SUCKS! and still hurts a week and two days later. It's gonna take forever for this thing to heal.
K bye.

We're glad you're here to be our friend too, Whitney.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could just tell you point blank what you should do to help lead you in the right direction on the job situation. I think your best bet is to continue to pray about it and listen to what God feels is best for you.
Essentially, the same type of situation happened to us when we were trying to sell Curtis' Subaru. I was ready to just sell the car at several thousands of dollars less than what we wanted just to have it out from under us. Yet, we waited and before we knew it we sold it and got the best deal!
I'm not trying to say that you SHOULD wait because something better will come along, I'm just saying that by listening to the Lord the best situation came from it. For you, that may very well mean taking this job for the time being. Just listen to what He has planned for you right now. That's the best advice I can give you and I hope it helps.
Thanks for letting me use some of your wonderful pics on my blog!
