Interview Number Three
Friday, April 30, 2010
As you know, I had my third interview today. It defintely was not what I thought it would be. I thought I would be sitting with my prospective boss and that she would ask me simple questions like "Why do you want to work here?" and "What are some challenges that you think you might face?" Nope. Of course not. I was in a conference room with two individuals that were asking me questions that were similar to that last interview that I had; "Tell me about a time when . . . ." How many different life experiences do they expect me to just bring to the surface at the drop of a hat?! On top of that, I had to write another essay. :-] It is definitely an experience in and of itself. I'm not complaining, though; I am certainly more than happy that I've been able to go through my third interview witht them. I must be doing something right. It seems as though they've been doing all of their calling and scheduling interviews with me on Wednesdays, so hopefully I will hear from them again next Wednesday and hopefully there will not be a fourth interview! I just want to start my career already! :-] In the mean time, I will leave it at His feet and pray that doors open and close according to His will.

Third times a charm, right?
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Just as they promised, they called within a week and I have my third interview this Friday! This time, the woman who contacted me was the manager of the Case Management department which means that this will eventually be my boss (that's if I get the job!). She sounded very nice and eager about the interview. Now, hopefully I will find out this Friday if I got the job or not. I really hope that this all works out because this is the only game plan that I've got. Nothing else up my sleeves. :-]
Did I mention that if I get the job, I owe Josh "5 crisp $20 bills?" Yeah, it was kind of a (dumb, silly, nonsense) bet that we made. I guess it's our money, so it won't really be a loss to me haha!
Wish me luck (if you believe in that kind of thing). Otherwise, pray for me! :-]

I just want a family!
You've heard me talk about my desire to become a mom. Soon. But, only one problem: I am not married, nor am I really ready for that kind of sacrifice. I have thought about things I want to do (babywearing, breast feeding, ECing, homeschooling, etc.), ways that I want to raise my kids, and the way I want to instill certain values and morals in their lives. I also must admit that I am slightly envious of those around me that are pregnant or having their babies. We've been hanging out with our friend, Errika A LOT and just hearing her talk about her pregnancy pains, discomforts, and planning for "Baby A" is getting me so happy and excited for her, but wishing I was in her position. I just want to be able to get my life started and start working towards something that I feel I was meant for. Josh and I are so ready to be married, but we're just waiting on some things like employment, paying off debt, and other things (as I've mentioned before). We've also drawn some lines and told each other when it will most likely be appropriate to start a family. Hopefully, things move along quicker because I just want a family! :-]
Now, with all of that being said, I have some major fears that literally cause nightmares at least once a week. I have dreams about stretch marks, saggy boobs, and massive weight gain. I know, those things are kind of inevitable, but I'm not ready for that. I'm dealing with some insecurities now; yes, I know, I will never be perfect and insecurities are never-ending. My point is that if I'm not completely secure now, how can I learn to love myself after taking on those things that I fear the most?
