A Little More About Florida...

Some exciting news for the day. We have been praying really hard that I will be able to find a job. I have submitted my resume everywhere and I have had no email responses, call backs, nothing (now, I know that it takes time to find a good job, but, we just do not have a ton of money to be waiting for too long). I was at Office Team the other day, a Placement Company, and I got a phone call from a guy from a company called Thinking Systems. I assumed it was another Staffing Company that some how got a hold of my resume so I was not in a hurry to call back. I was wrong though and realized that I had applied for a job with his company as an Office Manager (It is easy to lose track when you apply for many jobs). Anyway, I went in for an interview on Wednesday. It was going really well until he told me that he already made an offer to someone else, but he would rather give it to me (she had not given him an answer yet, and kept pushing back the date to tell him). I did not mention that he happened to be a member of the church (he started talking to me about it during the interview and said that he would rather work with a member than a complete stranger!!). I felt good about the company and interview and decided to take the job if the other girl declined the offer. He called me today and said that he wanted to make the offer to me. I had to go in for one more interview (with his partner of the company) and his partner did not seem as excited about me because I did not have the office experience that he wanted. But, I got him to like me and they offered me the job (they lowered what they originally offered, not by much, because the partner thought I was offered too much. Oh well...). So, I start work on Monday and really excited. Scott is going to bored stiff without his one and only!! I really feel blessed to be out here, that we made the right decision (hopefully that feeling stays!).
I can handle the humidity, the heat and random rainstorms, even the blasted lizards and gigantic grasshoppers...BUT, they pest control people NEED to do something about the blasted sugar aunts that we get in our kitchen. They are these micro size aunts that scurry around the counters. They drive me insane. I don't even want to cook for fear of them sneaking into our food!! Other than that...things are good. They really are falling into place for us. I am, however, ready to start working again. After three weeks of being unemployed...Im ready to go so, BRING IT!
