So I found a job…the only thing is I’m not too excited about it. It’s really not the type of job I’m interested in but I do realize that it’ll help pay the bills and keep me afloat for the moment. Please try not to laugh out loud. Say hello to the newest BP Woman’s Shoes Salesman for Nordstrom. Before you say anything, don’t even bother. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve temporarily sold out and instead of resisting materialism; I’m now actively promoting it. Believe me, this isn’t something I’m overjoyed for. In my defense, I’ve applied to literally more jobs than anyone should have to apply for in a lifetime and it gets kind of discouraging. Eventually, you can’t be so picky as long as you know that it’s something necessary for the present moment. And while the present doesn’t look so great, I look to the future with blissful anticipation.
In October, I get the privilege of supporting two of my closest friends as they join together in marriage. I’m a groomsman for Chris Wheatley and Michelle Nilsen’s Wedding in Portland, OR. The following weekend, I’m celebrating as my cousin Susan, joins families with a great guy named Simon. November brings me to Georgia to attend a long time friend’s wedding reception. My friend recently got married in the Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean! The next trip is coincidentally destined to the Turks and Caicos followed by an immediate relocation to Illinois. 9 weeks of Naval Officer Training as I begin a number of years serving in the Naval Reserve.
After that, who knows what’s in store for me…

I know exactly how you feel. Even if we take jobs we're not too excited about, at least we're working and paying the bills. I keep reminding myself that I am YOUNG, 22 years old, and can handle babysitting for another year or two until I get the education I need to get a great job. Psychology just isn't doing it for me! At least I should be in nursing school in a year from now.
That being said... hang in there! It looks like you have a lot to look forward to :) I'm so glad details on R09 are up and now we can really start to looking forward to it!
And Naval training?! That's exciting! Of course you know that I've had ties to the military for a long time.... and a great friend of mine is in the Navy (although he is active, not reserve) and it seems to be a great branch of military!
