Shorter and Shorter...

Life has been full of changes over the past few weeks, so when I saw one of those sign flippers stating that Great Clips was doing haircuts for $7.99, I knew it was time for a change personally. I was going to just go in for a trim, and thought, "If I'm going to cut my hair, I might as well cut it!" So, I ask for 5 inches to be cut off! It's short! And as cheesy as this sounds, not short enough. I am going to go in later this afternoon and ask for another inch off. Like I said, if I'm going to cut it, I might as well make a statement! I realized, while looking through old pictures, my hair is the same length as it was when I first met my husband 4 years ago (awwe moment). I've cut it off twice and it's grown back, but this time I think I'll keep it short.

Yesterday morning I had an amazing opportunity come up. Well, I guess the opportunity was back last Wednesday. I have been putting in applications at hospitals and clinics trying to get back into the medical billing field. I was out geocaching with a friend when I got back to the car and noticed I had a missed call. I listened to the voicemail and I just lit up. It was a call from the Providence Operations Center (where they do the insurance we have through Ben's work). I guess I had applied for a job there, and she was asking if we could set up an interview! SCORE! My interview was yesterday morning, and I felt it went very well! I felt very calm and was excited to see all of the Providence insignia (since been has worked for that company for over a year). The interview went well, I thought. They will make their decision by the end of the week. I could have a new job on Monday!

I'm trying not to get over excited, but this is a job that I have wanted for years! I won't say what it is, but the potential to get into my dream job within 5 years is a reality if I get this position. Scratch that... WHEN I get this position! The location of the building/office is perfect as well!

I know that I have a lot of friends and family praying that the right job is out there and I will find it (or rather it will find me). We shall see. I had a phone interview last night for another nanny position, but when I came to the realization that it would not only be temporary (only through Sep), but that it was for another first time mom I sent an email saying that I was appreciative of them taking their time to talk with me, but that I would have to turn down the job if offered. I have my reasons, and due to past horrible job experience, I will never ever ever ever (ever) work for another first time mother.

So that is a sum of life over the last few weeks, the exciting part anyway. Not a lot goes on. Make a few crafts to keep busy (see picture of newest wreath- made for Valentine's Day), keep looking for full-time employment and pray that bills will be paid and everything will be ok.

Off to do laundry (I can't wait to have a washer/dryer IN my apartment) and fix this haircut (downside of only paying $7.99 for a haircut).

Happy February!!
