A Month Later

Wow, a month of summer already gone! Where did it go?

I've been applying for jobs like crazy. I got accepted for one selling Nissans for a good dealership and went through training with them. I realized though that this job was not a good fit for me when I figured out that I would be working 50-80 hours a week and not necessarily make a lot of money. They also sent me home until July 1st (2 weeks time) because I went to Denver for a weekend. Needless to say I won't be returning back to that job.

I've applied to 50+ jobs and started taking different approaches to working because so many people are applying for jobs that you just have to have an edge and do things differently. I have a small pet sitting job taking care of 3 cats and cleaning their litter box. It pays the food bill and its a start. I'm also starting to work with temp agencies and posting to do various odd jobs. It has been an interesting process!

I went to Denver for 6 days and it was great! I had a fun time with my family and it was wonderful to see them. My brother had his portfolio to display where he came up with a restaurant concept and had food to sample to future employers who came to check him and his fellow classmates out. Afterwards, he graduated, I bet he is relieved to be done with school! Then the family headed up to the mountains along with Grandpa Jim and Jennifer. We stayed in a nice cabin for a few days and visited Estes Park. I also got to see a Connecticut friend of mine that is working in Estes Park for the summer.

This past weekend, my friend got married and it was a beautiful wedding. The rain was vicious though as we were in a national park and under a shelter. It being a low budget wedding (you could never tell though!), I happily stayed to help clean up. We had a good joke going when there was a lightening storm happening in the distance and us taking apart a metal event tent that was the size of a carport. After we had everything all packed up, it started raining buckets, it probably was some of the worst rain I've ever seen!

Church has been going wonderful, I know God is there for me even though this summer has been a really rough one, but I'm starting to understand that every summer I've had usually are rough haha. But on the bright side it is really making me put more trust and faith in God which is something I definitely need to do. He is amazing, unchanging and will never let you down!
