encouragement

  today was just what i needed.

   yesterday was the hardest day in montana to date. i woke up with a migraine, and was completely down about not even having any interviews lined up for potential work. not even one speck of interest in employing me. i've literally walked into every business in the meadow and asked if they were hiring. 

   in the morning i sent multiple follow up e-mails out. some of them weren't the first either. i went to open a bank account and they mentioned that they were hiring. i was kind of embarrassed because i walked in there all mopey-really not wanting to be there. things have to get done though. then, they mentioned they were hiring, and i was like "shoot! i'm not being my true self right now." 

   then i got an e-mail wanting to set up an interview!!! HECK YES. then, another one!! praises! but i still felt like absolute crap. i laid down for a while, went to town with mountain man, came home, ate and went right to be. still feeling like crud.

   so, today i woke up feeling much better. this day was the first to be like our old schedule at home. mountain man started work, and i had the day to myself. i went to town to run some errands.

   the drive to town is far. i put my music on, rolled the windows down, and just sang my little heart out. music and i have always had a special connection. it helps me sort through my emotions and get emotions/stress out when i sing. i realized that more today than ever because i felt so much better belting it out. 

   at my insurance office the receptionist and i got to talking just to find out that we had a lot in common. including the fact that we were both new to town with not too many friends. as i left she slipped me her personal number, and i couldn't help but shout "yay! i'm so excited!!!" they all laughed, but i can't help but to be myself . i'm easily excited.  

   i set up a little surprise for mountain man on saturday. : ) i know he'll love getting out, especially with someone besides me! we've had nothing but time together since we haven't been working. 

   i sent my number to the girl from the insurance office, and we have plans on sunday! heck yeah!! then gunner goo and i went for a long walk, and i tuckered his little butt (and mine) out. 

  on the way home i spoke with mountain man's sister, and she and i made plans too. all of this made me feel like i had my life back and wasn't stranded here on top of a mountain. i was starting to feel that way not knowing anyone because its just us, the fur babies and this house. it's all great. really great, actually. but i needed a bit of a social life. i'm such a social butterfly!

   once i got home i got another call for an interview! (OMG, three interviews next week!!) please pray a career path comes out of one of them!

   today, i'm thankful. excited to get to know new people, for three job interviews next week, and for getting my life out here started. 

love love
