Robby Got the Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cottonwood Creek Retirement Community gave Robby the job on the spot!!!! He starts on Monday!!!

Fingers Crossed

Robby has a job interview today with Cottonwood Creek Retirement Community. I'm sure praying that this is a good experience for him (whether or not he goes with this job). I remember how horrible job hunting was and I just want him so much to feel encouraged and hopeful about getting a job down here. Also, I really hope he gets a job down here soon so we can stop having a long distance relationship. It would be amazingly wonderful to live in the same town again and be able to see each other on a daily basis instead of just on weekends.

So fingers crossed for him!

I Should Be Committed

To all my married friends:

Did the thought of getting married every scare you? Maybe it's just me. But sometime the concept of marriage and being married totally freaks me out.

Maybe it's because I hear of experiences where the husband did a complete 180 after the honeymoon ended. He stopped talking; he stopped helping; he stopped listening; he stopped caring.

Maybe it's because so many couples focus on the bad. Even the wives of my current bishopric tend to lean heavily on the frustrations in their marriages.

Maybe it's because I work at a battered women's shelter and see a lot of domestic violence cases with women who are beaten and bruised by their husbands.

Maybe it's because I've never really had to be committed to anything in my life (except family and the gospel). But my life has always been very fluid. I've changed schools. I've changed states. I've changed majors.
I've had numerous apartments and roommates. A hand-full of different wards. My jobs have never really been the "long-term career" type. So maybe the concept of being with one person day in and day out for eternity puts my stomach into knots.

Hopefully I can overcome this fear someday.
