From Unemployed to Double Employment!

I have the two best Brothers in the world.
That's a fact.

I wish I had more time to update my blog and keep a better record of my life.
Such is life, spare time is precious and unheard of these days, but I like it.

A lot of changes have been happening in my life, which is to be expected I guess.

The thing I am most surprised of is how everything has fallen right into place how it's suppose too. I am not sure I can remember the last time I felt ok with not really having a plan and just seeing where the road takes me. I am always a planner, just ask Thomas, who sometimes gets annoyed that I can't just go with the flow. He's right, I have a hard time not knowing what comes next.

As my job with the Lovely Lockovitch Fam ended, I didn't know what was next. I had no job leads, nothing on the back burner, no real plan. This greatly scared me, but it also scared me that to some extent, I wasn't worried. I knew that it would work out the way it was meant to be.

I enjoyed some family time in Chicago and celebrated my brother's graduation from Northwestern University in the days following my last day with the Locko gang. It was nice to relax, explore a new town, and be with my family. I didn't have time to worry about what would happen when I got home, I just didn't think about it.

I ended up having two job interviews lined up when I returned and a few other job leads. I had nothing up this point, so anything was great! I ended up not having any "down" time. For being "unemployed" I stayed extremely busy from applications and interviews to random babysitting gigs here and there. I was shocked as to where my "time off" went.

I landed a job at North Canyon Care Center and started working two days within accepting the position. My path that I wasn't exactly sure where it was going, was finally going somewhere.
I have never felt so relieved to once again have a plan and to have found a job. However, I worried for awhile because I wasn't offered a full-time position, only part time.
Making ends meet was beginning to stress me out. Just when I was about to hit my panic button I got a call from South Davis Community Hospital. Again, I was offered a job and start July 13th!

This whole ordeal has been a huge learning process for me. It's allowed me to see that everything will work out when it's supposed to, that sometimes not having a plan is just as wonderful as having a plan. I know I am here today for a reason, that the new path I am about to embark on will be amazing with challenges that I don't doubt I can overcome.

I feel blessed to live such a wonderful life. I am blessed to have all that I have, especially my amazing support system who has cheered me on all the way.


In other random news, Thomas and I are heading to California in the morning. I am so excited to show him how 4th of July is done in Piedmont. It's one holiday I truly love, and I can't wait to share it!

I hope YOU have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing 4th of July!
