And it begins....

I got a job interview!! its with Peoria Journal Star as a Production Artist. My interview is on Thursday at 3pm. I am excited that I got a call back, apparently all the hard work with the resume and portfolio paid off. There is also another job I have my eye on. It is a studio install technician for a photographic supply company. I think I am more excited about that job, but haven't heard back from them. This is where I have to trust that God knows what he is doing. Job hunting is hard, what if you get hired with the job you sorta want and then the job you really want calls and wants you...but I guess we should stay focused on the real reason I am looking for a job---stability. Funny what things happen when you grow up and the direction of your life changes.
Nat and I decided to try for kids this year, but I think we may put it off for one more year just to make sure we are ready for one. right now i think it would be too soon, but I am excited about the possibilities in the future (sometimes) still a scary thing to think about.
anyway...just wanted to give you an update!
It was AWESOME to see all of you this weekend...You dont know how much i needed some girl time!!

WARNING

DO NOT WATCH GREYS ANATOMY IF YOUR DAD DIED...IT WILL ONLY MAKE YOU MISS HIM AND THATS NO FUN

El Fin

I finally finished (well mostly--still needs a little bit more). I did my resume, contact sheets, portolfio and am working on a CD with other related or unrelated material. I must say, I feel very pleased with the overall look and a sense of accomplishment that I completed it. Now I must mail them out!!! Wish me luck and all the prayers you can possibly muster up that I land a good job with a nice salary!!

love you all

Job

Just wanted to let you all know that looking/applying for a job is like pulling out all your teeth without novicane. I am so tired. I wear myself in the preparation part and am scared to death that someone would actually call and offer me a job. I am pathetic. It should just fall into my lap right? All this work for a job that pays $9/hr...am i not worth more than that? I am a job snob. I dont want just any job. I want a job that I can grow into and with..one that I will be happy with 5 years (rather 5 months) from now. I have my resume done and I am happy with it. Now I am trying to work on my portfolio to send with my resume...not as easy a task I am afraid. I am clueless, which doesnt help. I wish someone would just tell me what to do...cause I have no idea what I am supposed to do!
