I've worried my heart out for months on end trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Meanwhile, I slaved away in the hot kitchen at the Lutheran Home for the 6th summer in a row trying to make do until something better came along. I have worked my butt off trying to find some kind of a job and have came up empty handed many many times. I've gotten several rejection letters/emails and had 2 interviews that led no where. I was feeling fairly defeated and had no idea where to turn next. I wished, I hoped, I prayed, I broke down, I gave up, and then I get a voicemail yesterday morning. TMC in Wauseon wanted me to come in for an interview tomorrow(Friday) at 11am. I went in feeling much more confident and relaxed than any of my other interviews and walked out with a job. It's only a seasonal job which means I only have a job until about October sometime, but it's a start. It gives me time to figure out what comes next. And in the mean time I get to make 15 dollars an hour, which should help things out a bit. I'm not "teaching" the age that I love. In fact I'm not sure I call it teaching at all. I will have 1 year olds. Although they are cute and I'll be teaching them life skills I don't expect to be teaching reading or writing anytime soon. All in all I'm pretty excited and looking forward to see what comes about in the next couple of months as God's plan unfolds for me. I'm being careful with things. I'm still holding on to my job at the Lutheran Home so that when all of my migrant children leave me I have somewhere to turn if all of the other roads are closed.

15 dollars an hour?! This means you're taking your friends who haven't even gotten so much as an interview out for dinner, right? :)
I knew you would get one. You just have to have faith. :)
I love you girl ^_^
