The Big Move

Well we've made the big move and are settled into our new apartment in Missouri.

It's a nice feeling to be home and be able to say a short goodbye to family and friends instead of the long, drawn-out, "I'm not going to see you for five months" goodbye. I even get to go to two of my cousins' birthday parties this weekend, something I haven't been able to do in five years!

We have our puppy, and house training is going surprisingly well. We love our new apartment and have been basking in the amenities: dishwasher, washer & dryer, fitness center, pool. It is so quiet here, an easy adjustment from the hectic sirens of downtown Minneapolis. There is even a herd of about eight deer that come out into the back field every night and graze. We can walk right up to them, and they don't spook!

Now we are just playing the waiting game on jobs. It's a very frustrating ordeal. I had an interview that I thought went great, but was supposed to have received a call yesterday about a second interview... and no call... It's frustrating because I'd just like to know whether or not to start looking for something else. I'm sick of getting lead on. I know things are going to come together, but I'm just being impatient. It's disappointing to have a college degree and be excited about the future, but then come to the point that a retail or fast food job looks appealing and possibly attainable.

I'm trying to trust God with all this, but it's hard. He has provided for this move so far, and I know He will come through... just gotta wait it out...
