Work

Today I am grateful that I am able to work in the laundry at the temple. It has been a year since I started and I still feel so blessed that once a month I get to work there. Today was a crazy busy day because the baptistry was double booked (oops!) Thankfully, my partner and were able to catch up before our shift was over. I never realized how much work is done behind the scenes at the temple and I am grateful that I can do a small part.

There are times in life where goals, though important, are placed on the back burner because there are other more pressing things to take care of. In time, life changes so slowly that those goals just stay in the background. Well, I walked right into that trap. Thankfully, we got a wake up call earlier this month.

Quiet

I know I've been pretty quiet here for the past month or so, but some crazy things happened this month and it took awhile to wrap my head around them. Jonathan was doing really well with his job at IBM and suddenly found out that they weren't able to approve the funding for his contract to continue past the 31st of January. We were stunned and unsure what was going to happen next. Jonathan quickly got his resume posted and called a few headhunters that had called him after he started working with IBM. He had a job interview the same week for an android developing job. It was kind of a weird job because they would train him and then find contracts for him for the next two years. We would be nomadic and so he kept looking while keeping this as our plan B if nothing else turned up. I snuck a photo of him during his interview. We weren't sure how things were going to work out, but we knew that they would. About a week or so later, he was contacted by Home Depot. They a...
