Well it is time for a good news post again. I was just offered a job that i have been wanting and praying for, for a long time. The story behind this job, and why it is an answered prayer is this.....
Before Me and Brandon even left Logan we were looking for jobs here in Sanpete County. I would say a good month or two before we left i found a job postings at utahjobs and could not pass up. There were two jobs for Head Start in Gunnison. One for an assistant preschool teacher which sounded great, and a job for a education specialist. Reading the job description for the education specialist i knew it was the one of the two i wanted. Besides the higher pay and better benefits, it was my dream job. I would get to supervise the preschool classes, teach kindergarten readiness classes and do other things pertaining to education for Head Start. Right away i called. They said i would have to come in and get an application. I was so bummed....we were in Logan, they were in Gunnison....but we made a special trip down, with family so close both mine and Brandon's the trip was not just for the application, but that was the main purpose for the trip. I went in, only meeting the secretary and got the application. I was so bummed i didn't get to meet anyone that had anything to do with hiring, but oh well i thought. I got back to Logan, perfected my resume, filled out the application and mailed it in. Mind you that this is like the end of March-ish. After a week i called to make sure the mailed resume and application had got there, and when i could expect a phone call about an interview or the like. The secretary just said she didn't know....that was it. I never gave up hope. I called again the week we moved here, and got to talk to the head lady. She said she was not doing interviews till July, and not going to have the person start till August. I simply said i was still interested, and that was that.
Well last week i got a call from her asking me if i could come in for an interview on the 12th. I WAS SO EXCITED!! This was earlier than i thought. I went to the interview, and felt so good about it the interview the whole time. I was not even nervous, ok i was but not the bad kind of nervous. The nerves i was feeling had to do with the fact that I have NEVER gone for a real job before. I have never wanted a job as bad as i wanted this one, never. After they were done interviewing me she said she would let me know that same day if i got the job.....and yep later that afternoon i got a call.......I am now the Education Specialist for the Gunnison Head Start!!! Wow. I have never been so grateful for my Heavenly Father, and that He would help them know that i could do this job. He is the one who got me the job ultimately, I have the skills but He has the power to get me in.
So there is my good news. My many prayers to get this dream job came true, and I will be able to start sooner, just as soon as they get my background check. How blessed i am again. I have a great and amazing hubby, a wonderful home to live in, a garden that is actually growing, a rambunctious but stinking cute puppy, and now a dream job to work at!!

Great news sissy, but not too lucky. Well, maybe lucky for them to get you. People as good as you don't need luck. I'm so happy for you. Now if I can only make that happen after I graduate, wait... am I ever going to graduate? Love you Schister.
