Wow, it's been an incredibly long time. Almost a month later and I've forgotten to update my blog.

I'm 2 days from my 27th birthday, which is unbelievable. I am old. I didn't think I'd actually say this to myself while still in my 20s but there is so much more I hope to do before I hit 30.

The job search has continued slowly, but the wonderful thing is that the unemployment pay has finally kicked in and helps out a little with our bills. John has been wonderful in helping me through this transitional period and has been working OT every chance he has. I need to keep reminding myself that I am not in a rush to find a position, but rather should find the right position for myself. I want to be content with what I decide to do... It's hard when I like to stay busy and want to contribute so badly! John was able to add me to his medical insurance and that is a huge help. Being married definitely has it's benefits. *wink*

It's definitely a blow to the ego each time I get a rejection email/letter stating that there are better qualified people for the positions I am interested in and that they selected a different candidate that was more closely aligned with yada yada. I get it. My day will come soon enough, but the waiting is definitely a test of patience.

I took Scooter to the vet last week for his annual exam and he is a healthy boy! I can't believe we've had him for almost a year now. So much has happened since then! He received his rabies shot (now good for 3 years!) and is heartworm negative. Phew! He definitely has become a huge part of our family.

More good news - because we need it! We received our partial refund from our insurance from January and are expecting a complete reimbursement from our deductible from the accident in January! Our insurance company was able to collect the full amount from the guilty party's insurance. Thank goodness! God is definitely watching over us...
