June Life update
So anyone who promises that they will start updating their blog regularly, never does. It’s inevitable. I’ve seen it happen all to many times. I am one of the greatest culprits at this so I’ll quit saying what I plan on doing with the blog. In fact I forgot about the blog until my Aunt Laura commented and I got an e-mail. Then I was like, “oh yeah, the blog.” A good bit has happened so let’s get started.
I got laid off last month. So I have been unemployed for about a month now. This has occupied the majority of my time. Honestly I had no idea how much time unemployment can take. I’ve been searching, applying, talking to head hunters/recruiters, and going to interviews all the time. It is without a doubt the most stressful thing I have ever experienced. Buying a house was worse but only lasted a couple days. This goes on for weeks and is such a roller-coaster. So my anxiety level is off the charts. Every job I’ve had I got very easily and they just fell into my lap so this is the first time I’ve really had to pursue one. I’m trying to find a place I want to work but I also just need a job, and that dilemma is the most difficult part. We’ll see how it goes.
In good news I have a new roommate John who just moved a week ago. So now I have two roommates again with Gary still residing here. One, this is good timing for me financially to be receiving the rent each month while I’m unemployed. Two, John is a really good friend of mine. In fact we seem to keep connecting on many levels and it’s only been a week but has honestly been wonderful to have him here.
On that note, I’ve really been blessed this year with friends. I have five guys that I talk to almost daily. You know those fiends that you tell everything to and you feel you can fully depend on and who can fully depend on you? I have five close guy friends like that. It’s truly awesome. Beyond that I have a killer small group at church. We do things every week as a group outside of our “traditionally Bible study” meetings and really are a close community. I’ve also got to develop the closest female relationships I’ve ever had that weren’t Girlfriends. I truly feel blessed with people that care about me right now. Which is so important as I’m going through such a rough time.
Those are the major points of the last couple months. Theres plenty of other things like my drive up to Kansas but I don’t want to long of post so those will have to wait if they come at all.
