The whole job-hunting proccess has pretty much left a bad taste in my mouth. Most places I’ve applied to this summer won’t even give me a call back and almost every job I’ve seen has fallen under one of two catagories: either it’s a random entry-level position that only requires a high school diploma, or a really interesting job in my field that requires you to have had 5 to 7 years of experience. There really isn’t anything for the fresh college graduate who is anxious to develop what they have spent 4 years studying at school.

Even when I do find a job that I think I would enjoy (but falls under the first catagory), I have all of these hoops to jump through. Yesterday, for instance, after I was offered a job with a non-profit organization but it has not been nearly as simple as I hoped and I still don’t know for sure if I am going to be working there.

A lot of pressure is off of me now because Funnel started his job on Monday and a lot of things are falling in line. I got a money order today for the apartment we are hoping to get.

So we have income.
We have a place to live.
We are getting married pretty darn soon.
Jon and Heather might be building a brand new house!
Despite this job crap, things are good.

My mom introduced me to a delicious new snack yesterday. It is Ciabatta bread, with veggie cream cheese and sliced cucumbers. Mmmm.

Last night, my parents and I went to a fundraiser at the local winery (my new favorite place!) and we drank wine, ate ribs and peach cobbler, listened to a bunch of charming, old men play harmonicas and banjos, saw a whip and rope demonstration and went on a hay ride.

And tonight, my Funnel is coming, and my dad’s friend invited us to a special dinner at his new Korean Barbeque restaurant.

I will keep you updating on the job situation.
Hopefully I will know today.
And if you think of it, keep me in your prayers. I am still trying to figure out if this is where God wants me.
