I'm Employed!!

This week has been a good week!  Tuesday I had a phone interview with Marionjoy Rehab Hospital in Wheaton, IL and then was asked to come in for another interview today, Thursday, for a Case Management position there.  Today I went in for the interview and they hired me on the spot.  It went so well.  They are trying to speed up the hiring process, so I will be starting on this coming Tuesday already!  It is an on-call position, so I will be getting paid hourly, but it is EXCELLENT pay, so I'm happy, and they said I will have lots of hours!  So that is not a concern at all.  Also, it is a great way to get my foot in the door for a full time, salaried position at the hospital.  I can't wait to start :o) 

Thank you for all your prayers :o) 

This weekend Joe and I will be heading back to Rockford for our friends Becky and Ben's wedding.  I am a bridesmaid in the wedding and am excited to celebrate with my friends.  Never a dull moment this summer!  Weddings galore!

This coming week Joe and I are also babysitting for 3 wonderful kids of our close friends.  Always something going :o) 

The picture above is from last weekend.  Becky and I went to visit Cherith who lives downtown now for some quality girl time :o)  Becky (in the middle) is my friend who is getting married this weekend!

Have a great weekend!

Job search & 4th of July festivities

Still no job... looking for a job is not a fun thing to do in this economy.  Hopefully one will turn up soon.  For now its been lots of applying, handing out resumes, and keeping the apartment clean.  I feel like the second there is any dirty laundry I'm doing another load, just to keep myself busy.  I think that is a definite sign I need a job :o)  So I'd appreciate any prayers for that!  

This last weekend we went to see fireworks in Chicago with our friends Bill and Coty which was a lot of fun, and this coming weekend I'm going to Rockford on Friday for a friends Bachelorette party, Joe has a wedding in Michigan on Saturday, and I'm going to Chicago for some girl time with Cherith and Becky.  Never a dull moment :o)  

Happy 4th...just an update

This week has been a little discouraging.  Looking for a job has not been so much fun, and I'm missing friends from Rockford and my family.  Hopefully I'll feel more at home around here soon.  Joe and I are going downtown tomorrow for fireworks with friends though which will be fun and then heading back to Rockford on Saturday to be with my family :o)
