Re-committing

Hello again!

So, turns out I've had people tell me I should update my blog more than just two posts, so I am now recommitting to try to post once a week (or when something interesting happens). We'll see if I can get in the habit.

Spring/Summer update:
The plan for us this spring/summer is to stick around Provo. Jason has a great new job working for BYU doing computer/network related stuff. His old job (working tech support for the church) changed their headquarters to Salt Lake, but Jason was able to get a job that started training just as the other one ended, which was a definite blessing. He has a great boss and flexible hours, which will be great once he starts school back up summer term. Also, he'll be able to keep the job throughout the rest of his time at BYU, another blessing.

Other big news, Jason has made a decision to change his major to computer science and head that direction instead of going to medical school. We both thought and prayed about the decision and we feel great about it. Our decision has been validated with how much Jason loves his new job and the great work experience it has given him. So, now we're looking at 2-3 years at BYU plus a possible Masters degree. I'm really glad to still be in Provo for awhile, I wasn't quite ready to leave yet.

As for me, I'm on the job hunt. I've applied for some temporary summer jobs, but none have worked out just yet. I've been focusing on applying for fall teaching jobs within a reasonable commute, preferably at a middle school/junior high. Last week, I had 2nd interview/teaching "tryout" for a school located here in Provo. They asked me to come and teach a 30 minute lesson about density. I was SUPER nervous driving up to the school, but once the classroom was full of kids, it was a total blast. I'm not sure what my chances are of getting the job, but as much as I'd love it, I have faith that something else will come along if it doesn't work out.

In the meantime, I've been keeping myself busy with organizing our apartment more, trying out new recipes, exercising every day, typing up all of my mom's recipes, crocheting, etc. Now that I'm getting into a routine and accomplishing things every day, I feel better about life until I'm able to find a job. Like Jason predicted, it's been good for me to have some time to feel like I'm worth something, even if I'm not working or doing homework.

Well, that's my update for the summer. I'll post a little more this week about more specific things going on!
