July Life Update
Let's see:
new dog, Mickey.
new car.
Relationship with Paul is wonderful and keeps getting better all the time.
Job search is quite discouraging, but one day at a time here, and right now, honestly, I am just trying to enjoy summer because I have felt the last month hasn't really been vacation, its just been "go go go" so I would like to just relax and do nothing but walk the dog, swim, read some books, spend time with friends and boyfriend, and enjoy the nice weather we're finally having.
Would like to go on a hike soon!
Hung out with Beth the other night, ate pizza, ice cream and watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers(YES). That was fun, it was some girl time I've really missed for awhile so it was nice to have that.
Right now I am reading Donald Miller's "Searching for God Knows What"- it isn't as compelling as Blue Like Jazz, but I still like what he has to say, he's honest and raw, and I like that a lot.
Get to go to Port Townsend for my birthday, which will be fun, its such a cool place to just hang out, get some relaxation, and its so PRETTY.
Mickey wears me out a lot, but he is a very good dog. Have to get him into dog training classes at Petco, so that he finally gets housetrained(he still doesn't have the entire idea of going outside to do business yet). He is very affectionate, and I am glad I rescued him. I don't feel very good about leaving him completely alone, so I haven't yet because he isn't crate-trained, so I have to train him to do that too, which is hard because I can't force him to go into it, he has to come into it willingly, which he does,but most of the time he does it when I'm not looking so I can't shut the door and see how he deals with it the first couple times so he can get used to being in it and not be uncomfortable if we do leave on some occasion.
Other than that, just applying to temp agencies for interviews and such, although a lot of them are full for the next week and a half for interviews, so I have to wait. *sigh*. I guess its ok, whats the rush? I'll be working for the rest of my life, might as well enjoy the "vacation" I have left. Anywho, that's all for now...just thought I would update and I am very grateful for the things in my life right now. I am a bit nervous/scared about trying to get a job, because I seriously have no idea what I am doing, and I'm not really a "career driven" sort of person, I just see a job as a means to an end. Honestly, the only kind of job I would really like and want at the same time, would be a working as a library assistant in King County Library, its a sweet position, it pays REALLY well, and you get all these amazing benefits, plus I'd get to work around the things that I adore most-BOOKS. But the likeliness of me getting this job off the bat are very very slim, so I am not setting myself up for disappointment, but I am going to apply for it and go in there- because I just feel in my gut that I would rock that job more than anything else! So in the meantime however, I'm just applying to lots of jobs, and see what comes up. So here's hoping. And also, I have a feeling that God will point me in the right direction, and that He'll let me know what is the right job for me, He'll take care of me. That's a real blessing and comfort to me, so it makes me less scared about the whole thing. He provides always, and I realized yesterday that my life is full of miracles, even if no one else can see it. :)
