Employment!

After five months of job seeking and many interviews, the wait is over. During the process, I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted in a future employer. In the end, I think that the employer that offered me a position is a good fit. My patience finally paid off.

When I interviewed, I had a welcoming feeling when I walked into the office. The owner of the company appeared to be very honest and yet very approachable. She asked a lot of the usual interview questions, but then threw in a couple that caught me off guard and made me really think on my feet. When I was given the opportunity, I asked a couple simple questions but then I wanted to know where she hoped to see the company in two years. She admitted that I caught her off guard. (I was worried I totally messed up.)

My first day is August 4th. I am super excited about learning all about L&I claims and reporting. So not only will this job allow me to use my current skills, but it will challenge me to learn new things from the beginning.

The girls just wanna know if this means we can get a pool. :-)

Interview

This morning I had an interview. Now I get to wait. For those of you that know me, I don't like waiting. I am hoping to have an answer by Monday. She said there could be a decision by tomorrow afternoon. I am hoping for sooner than later. Then again, if the answer is no and I hear about it before the weekend, I might have a terrible weekend.

No, that won't be the case because Demaris comes home from camp tomorrow! I can't wait to give that little girl a big hug and hear all about her first camp experience. Her sisters, on the other hand, are not as excited for her return. For some reason they think she is loud and annoying. I, personally, have missed her laughter and her squeaky voice.

Kittens

Here are the two newest family members:

Delilah Grace Climer (she is not graceful so that is why she has a middle name... we are hoping it will help her out).

Tudball George Climer (the girls said he needs a middle name too and since he is so curious, we thought George was fitting).

I went upstairs recently to check on some quiet girls and found them playing a game. Tudball was sitting on the table and it totally looked like he was supervising them. It was too cute!!!
