Employment

Because of one of this years' financial goals Travis and I have been seeking some additional employment. We have both received jobs this month. Travis is still employed full -time for LDS Family Services (probably always will be) but he will have the opportunity of teaching for Brown-Mackie college. He will be teaching Sociology and Criminal Justice classes at night. He is an amazing teacher and will do a great job. It is a wonderful opportunity and a nice break from the therapy that he does all day long (and again when he get home at night :) I wasn't actively looking for a job, but someone mentioned through church that the clothing store were they work was looking for a seamstress to do alterations. I interviewed and got the job that I feel will be a great fit (okay, I realize that is a terrible pun, I opted against the job being 'tailor-made', it was the less offensive pun). I get to set my own hours, go in when I can (after the kids go down) and it is only about ten hours a week. I get to be trained on doing alterations, hemming jeans, repairing clothing, etc. I am really excited. We feel it is a blessing to find these jobs that, I hope, will be minimally disruptive to our family schedule.

I found it so interesting that your mother in her prayer this morning mentioned the gratitude we feel for "the employment blessings in this family." More that we knew at the time. Way to go. I have some pants that . . . .

That's AWESOME! Good for you! I hope everything works out. (When I start loosing weight and can't afford to buy new clothes, maybe you could alter them for me? :)

How wonderful to see the Someone is watching out for you. And yes, that was the lesser of two EVIL puns!

You were a great seamstress, even at 16! :) (I still remember the peach shirt you made for me!)
