I'm too tired to be doing this...

...but I'm doing it anyways. I have to work over night again...I think I'll take a nap before the evening's over...but I work only 6 more nights and will be done! I have turned in my two weeks notice because I was offered a job at the court and I accepted it! I'm so grateful that this opportunity has been made available in my life and I think it is because I have been learning how to exercise faith in the Lord. I have learned to accept that I may not know when something will improve, but that when inspiration comes I need to act. I felt it necessary to leave my last job in A.F. and so was searching for a position elsewhere. When I was offered another position, I felt I should accept it with faith that I would be blessed with better work as I moved on. Here it is, about 3 weeks later and I am comfortably aware that I will soon be in a better work environment and be paid better than the work I was doing in A.F. Hallelujah. The moral of the story is: Trust the Spirit. It will not lead you to err.

Hello again!

Hi folks. I'm missing the blog...even if it is just random ramblings, but hey, it's an outlet for me. So here is where Isaac and I are right now. Isaac has applied for a job with Delta Airlines here in Salt Lake. He found out that they were hiring for mechanic positions, so he sent in his resume and was contacted to take a test. He took the aptitude test and passed, so they then called him in for an interview. He went in for the interview on Tuesday and everything went hunky-dory. They told him they had interviews through the rest of the week and would get back to him on Monday or Tuesday this upcoming week.
I, on the other hand, have finally left the state job I held and am working in a residential facility for adults with disabilities. My job right now is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY easier and I am treated with respect by my supervisor (hallelujah!) and yeah. The only tough part is that I took a huge pay cut and am only part-time now. Oh, and the other tough part is that I am working from 10 p.m. till 8 a.m. It's a long haul and I have done it once with a coworker and once on my own. I will do it again tonight. BUT, today I had an interview with the court in West Jordan. If I get on there, I will be back to full-time employment but only until December 31st. If I'm hired and a permanent position becomes available, I am sure that I would stand a better chance of getting it. I hope. I have also been taking tests to get in with the US Postal Service as a data entry technician. I passed both tests offered so far and am waiting for further instructions from them.
Lots of stuff going on as far as work.
Isaac and I are both doing really well. Our new ward is wonderful and our new apartment is cozy. We have been called to teach the Gospel Principles class. We team teach every other Sunday, switching off with a recently returned missionary. It has been so wonderful to prepare and give lessons on the basic principles of the gospel. It has really helped me to remember and return to my roots. I love it!
As far as the expansion of our little family we have been delayed by various health issues, but I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and that will all occur in the right time frame. We love you all and hope that life is treating you well. Take care!
