sometimes it's still a little crazy to me this is our home. we have officially lived in texas for three weeks now. in the past three weeks we have applied for many jobs, interviewed, worked, experienced texas heat, hung out with several friends, been sick and settled/settling into our apartment.
this last week has kept me very busy at my [part time] job. yes, i found a job! the store is called Sprouts, and is a natural, organic grocery store not far from our apartment. the hope/plan is to work here until something happens with substitute teaching or {God willing} a teaching job. i also plan to run errands and help out a woman and her family from the church we've been going to.
coders has had a couple [part time] interviews as he continues to look for permanent employment. two have been at nearby golf courses and next week he has an interview at costco.
::presently we...::
...continue to look for permanent employment. the mr. continues to take initiative in looking jobs and follow up on positions he has applied for. personally, i feel my seeking has come to a stand still.
...have been decorating our apartment! a fun challenge to make this apartment our home. as promised, will post pictures when all is said and done. i'm hoping by the the end of the weekend. i'm tired of the odd and end pieces still lying around.
...sometimes miss nebraska. every now and then i miss my the 3 F's. family, friends and the farmers market. thankfully, this grief is not followed up with regret, bitterness or guilt.
...are thankful. as we've been processing through this transition, i have really tried to start naming thing's that i am thankful for. so far, this has been more of a thought process but i want to make it more. i need to make it more. i think that looks like writing it down.
...are still praying that the Lord would open a door. we also pray the Lord would show us where he would have us serve and for peace in the times of discouragement. there are so many thoughts on this that i'm not sure how to put into words. and i'm learning that's okay.
::what future looks like...::
{obviously} look for careers and figure out our next steps
discover the dallas metroplex [any suggestions??]
a week from today...husker football!!
for the first time in my life, i am not dreading the fall! in nebraska the fall meant winter was right around the corner. which meant [very] cold weather. i'm looking forward to the fall/winter in texas. yes, parents, you can brag all you want about the beautiful weather now but just wait for the phone call in january...
