Job Hunting

For the past six months or so, John has diligently been trying to find employment for when he graduates. So fun. Errr. Not. The fun thing about job hunting is that you can tell people all about the places that you have been interviewing and the jobs that you...didn't get. This last week John was gone back to back to Arizona and California interviewing.

He learned a lot about Tuscon. For example, you aren't allowed to kill rattle snakes there. Ew. Also, if you intentionally damage a saguaro, you could spend a year in prison. 

In Ridgecrest California, he learned that although the place he interviewed with is in a hiring freeze, it was the most promising interview yet. Essentially, as soon as the hiring freeze ends (supposedly about when he'll graduate) they will extend an official offer of employment. They even told him the specific position he would fill and what he would get paid. Unfortunately, nothing is official yet. *Fingers crossed*  In the meantime, he is still looking other options. Hopefully something will work out sooner than later.

No Pat no! Don't sit on that!

Cool saguaro (and now I know what it's called, thanks!)

So here's the thing. You will get the job exactly where Heavenly Father wants you to be, and it will all work out for your good. I know we all say we want you to get a job here (because we really, really do), but wherever it is, it'll be the right place for your family and we'll just have to deal with it. :) I'm just going to keep hoping that it's here!! Good luck with interviewing and thesis work, too. You guys are amazing.
