We all scream for ice cream!
There is seriously this ridiculous Wendy's commercial on lately that has the ice cream man song in the background. Everytime it comes on, my heart skips a beat and I almost grab a dollar and run out the door. But then I realize it's just a commercial. It's like a nightmare.

Well, I went to an "interview" sort of. Apparently I drove like 4 hours for an information session. I'm thankful for the drive though because I felt like I had a lot of things to sort out. Long drives are good for that. I'm taking my brother to the airport this week so hopefully I can schedule a real interview then. We'll see what God does. I think this would be a great first job for me and I'm excited about the prospect. I would appreciate your prayers and am thankful for the encouragement I recieve everytime I see and hear from you people. You guys ROCK!

I'm unemployed right now. Everytime my dad asks me about it I just smile and he thinks it's hilarious. He tells me to wipe the grin off my face because being unemployed is no laughing matter. It's actually pretty refreshing though, I'm not gonna lie. For instance, tonight I am going to sit around and watch tv until I'm actually tired and then go to bed without setting my alarm. How sweet is that? It looks like it's going to be a beautiful week too. Yay for no job! It was hard to leave though. I cried. And it still makes me sad sometimes when I think about it.

We're about to have a BBQ for my brother because he's going to Okinawa for a couple of years. I hope I can visit hime sometime, that would be great. Sometimes I think it's crazy how different all of my siblings are. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? I mean, we all grew up in the same house, the same environment. But we all have different lives and personalities. When people ask how my brother and sisters are doing I say,"Jessica had a baby, Sara got married, and Chris is in the Marines." I don't know, maybe I just think it's weird.

It's almost time for the 4th of July block party bash!! I signed up to make chocolate cake but I'm not going to be as competitive as last time. It's okay if I don't win. Tempest, Gabby and I did sign up for the bike parade though.... we are making a super surprise for it.

Wow. I have a lot of random thoughts. I don't know where they all come from. I have plenty more to talk about but I'll spare you all. :o) Well, I love you guys.

The Search is On
Yesterday I told my work that June 28th is my last day. I am so excited! I've given 9 places my resume so far. I can't wait to see what happens and where I'll end up. The craziest thing I have seen is that my dream job really does exist. I know I'm also a little crazy for giving my notice even though I don't have another job, but it had to be done. I feel so liberated. Good times.
I'm off work today so I've just been going through things cleaning out old stuff and all that jazz. I just know God is going to give me a great job.
What else? I'm housesitting. That has a week to go. It's weird being in someone else's house for so long. I don't know why I didn't think it was weird before. But I'm ready to go home. Who knows where home will be in a couple of months. I am so excited! (have I said that too much?)
I'm still an emotional wreck.... I just cry a lot that's all. Lame. I'm sure I'll get over it soon, hopefully.
Well, I gotta go cause I'm going to TNT's with Fauf. Viva la Vida!!! Love you kids.
