Office with a View

Today, I interviewed at a great non-profit in Fort Worth and thought it went really well! My fingers and toes are crossed for this one... If I were to be offered a position, I would have my own huge office with a window (and a pond view)! I should hear something back next week, so we will see. The only downside thus far is that the position is not anticipated to start until mid-July and I am ready to get back to work!

We had a great low-key weekend because John had to work Sunday afternoon. I spent Friday at my parents' house with Scooter and after picking up John from work, we headed to the Granada Theatre for Quick's Big Thing. We were able to listen to local music and enjoyed doing something different from our routine. Saturday, we got hubby's car detailed and we were so glad we did! It's as good as new again and they were able to get rid of the pet odors that Scooter left behind in his early days. Sunday, Tiff and Khanh came down to visit us and we went and had tacos for lunch. YUM! Hopefully, we'll be able to head to the lake with them next weekend and fish!

Pray for me!

Postponed

I had an interview with a non-profit agency that I was SUPER excited about because it's my dream job... Well, it's postponed. The assistant contacted me to let me know that the hiring manager was visiting her mother at the hospital and could not return to the office as anticipated. I am definitely bummed, but I can't be too upset. I hope her mom is ok! This will give me time to better prepare, but it'll be hard to manage all of my pent up nervous energy.

Hubby also let me know that he has good news to share! He recently was reviewed for his annual performance and was ranked with "exceeding expectations!" I am so proud of him. This determines his level of compensation for the company bonus and let's just say it's a nice chunk of change that we desperately need! He will be working OT starting Sunday evening for a week, so I won't see much of him. It'll definitely be lonely, but I'm lucky to have such a good man to work so hard to support us.

Here's a picture of Scooter's summer hair cut. Tiff says he looks very distinguished.

Hoping & Praying

Things financially are difficult, but we have been very lucky and blessed. I pray that He will help us through this as He has done many times in the past. It's definitely a test of our will, but we will persevere... we always do no matter how difficult the journey.

I have an interview tomorrow with a non-profit agency that promotes diversity in the workplace. I am so excited! It is in human resources (which I am wanting so very badly) and would lead me down my desired path for my career. I ordered some PHR books to prepare me for certification in the future, which should be arriving sometime this week. I can't wait! It has been a long 2 months waiting for what is intended and can only hope that I am destined for this job!

We visited Austin over Memorial Day weekend to visit the inlaws and were able to spend some quality time with J's friends as well. Prior to Memorial Day, hubby won free tickets to our first Byron Nelson experience and were treated to luxury villas complete with free food and drinks. Score!

Scooter has been a part of our family for a year (May 31 was his anniversary) and we are so glad he is a happy and healthy boy! We took him for his annual exam recently and was doing well and heart worm free! He did have a pesky case of fleas, but hope that we have gotten rid of that problem.
