changes!

So much has been going on lately that I don't know how short I can make this, but I'll try my best. Let's start with me.

I've been loosely looking for a job & sending my resume to places when I see something I'm interested in. Mostly receptionist & bank teller jobs. I kinda gave up on the bank jobs though since I had the last bank bail on me. I was scheduled for a phone interview & it never happened--as many times I tried calling back. I figured that it wasn't in the plan for me. Three Thursdays ago, I sent in my resume to a bank for a teller job right next to my house. Again, wasn't expecting much at all.The following day, the HR called me to schedule my interview for Monday. I was terrified of my interview because it has been five years since my last one. It went well & I left with a good feeling. The following day, Tuesday, I was offered the job which I of course accepted. That Wednesday & Friday, I had my orientation in Waldorf. Last Monday, I started at my branch & I have been there for the past week. & I really like it. The ladies are all so nice & sweet & the customers are great. I never realized that a bank could be such a family. There's always something going on & we get some interesting people coming through like the man with a deer head in his passenger seat, haha. Definitely loving the new job & I miss Matti terribly while we're not together, but I know he's in good hands. God is truly great.

Onto Jason. He is still working at Kohl's for the time being. For the past six months, he's waited patiently for a job on base. His name is all over that company's HR office it's not even funny--he's had so many people take his application & resume to hand off to their bosses & to the HR reps. It was funny...when I got the job, Jason told me I couldn't quit because I was making more money that him, haha. Well, finally, it was Jason's time. He turned in his application & resume last week & not even a day later, he got a job offer. In the field that he wants to go into. Of course, he accepted & he starts in the beginning of June. I am so happy for him & he's even more excited to know that he won't be at Kohl's much longer. Nothing against the company, but Jason, prior military at a retail store? It's far from where he wants to be, and he's so ready to work on planes again. God is good.

Baby boyy Matti. He went into daycare the first day I started at my branch. I take him in the morning & he stays until noon & Jason picks him up. He loves it. He hates when I leave, but they said he recovers quickly. He seems so much happier & I love getting pictures of him playing with other kids. He needs that & it makes me happy. He's turning two in a month & he's absolutely perfect.

The Roof family has definitely gotten quite a lot of surprises in the past week, but they're all blessings. All this just solidifies that God does have a plan for us & that it will happen when it is supposed to. Our patience was tested & it still is to this day, but it all works out in the end.
