Just keep looking, applying and praying

As most of you know I have been terribly unsatisfied with my place of employment. We have all hear the funny/annoying stories, but I continue to be unhappy and have decided to really beat the bushes for a new job. I have found a little prayer that I will now pray every day until new employment is found. I am hoping that each of you would send a little prayer for a new job my way in the next few months, I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep you all updated on any news.

God, our Father,
I turn to You seeking Your Divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment.
I need Your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest.
I wish to use the gifts and talents You have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment.
Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to You with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Almost a month?

What happened? I fell behind on blogging again. So I guess I will do one of my re-cap my life blogs.

Bob and I spent time in the Twin Cities. We got to see our new nephew Liam and I fell absolutely in love with babies. Not ready for one but I really liked holding him. We did two wedding cake tastings-mmmm. Had an incredibly long but fun day taking pictures for our center pieces with Mesa and Tony, they made it worth while. We also caught a bad Twins game at the dome. Bob stayed in the cities a few more days but came home to continue his pampering of me!

Bob and I were also able to enjoy some time well needed together. After his studying all the time we really made a concious effort to spend the time we did have with each other. I think we both were used to away time that maybe we got on each other's nerves a bit but we did do some fun things. We saw the movie The Hangover-hillarious, went on some great walks, enjoyed the farmer's market and arts festival, watched the Twins win and lose, and even smoked a cigar or two. We also were able to be super excited about his awesome score on the boards. Bob did really well and I am so proud of him. Way to go!

My dad celebrated his birthday on July 1st. Love you Dad you are the best!

This past weekend started off with a work holiday on Friday so Bob and I volunteered to snag a tailgaiting spot at Rosenblatt, which turned into complete caos. Both Bob and I took turns complaining to the parking attendants that there needed to be more information about the whole situation. We later found a great spot but sat out in the rain until we were able to enjoy some fun tailgaiting with friends. We headed to the horrible Omaha Royals game but ran back to the car before it started to poor. When we got back my car's battery was dead from the festiviites of tailgating but got a jump and then watched the fireworks after the rain. We were able to catch the last 4 innings of the Twins 16 inning game on TV that night too. On the 4th it was so gloomy and almost chilly we spent most of the day inside but did manage to take a walk. We later grilled with our new neighbors Bill & Steve where we learned more about them and how they pretty much know everyone famous. We watched fireworks at our house as other neighbors were setting them off until all hours of the morning. Sunday was pretty chill as we were getting ready to head back to reality. Bob started at the VA today and I headed back to work after 12 weeks of bliss without a co-worker. I also started back to 40 hours a week. We will see how long it lasts I guess.
