Well, the title says it all. I myself am getting tired of all the ups and downs of this no job roller coaster of emotions thing. So today will be my last and final sappy post.
First some good news.
Trevor got a job. It's not as a lawyer, since there seem to be none of those around these days, but as a paralegal. Turns out as I was going through a box of old papers from his undergrad days that Trevor got his paralegal certificate and we had both forgotten about it. Maybe it was inspiration to look through that box, because not long after that a job posted for a paralegal.
My heart is full as I think about the past few months and how much of a struggle they have been. We could not have made it if it weren't for the generosity of our families who bolstered us up with lots of pep talks and wonderful words of encouragement. Helping us find clothes for our kids and household essentials. Words cannot express my gratitude to you guys. Thank you!
I know this job is not as a lawyer, and that basically STINKS! But I am so grateful that we finally have an income that it doesn't matter one ounce to me.
So goodbye to all the sad and depressing posts. I will NOT be visiting them again.
Hello new day!
Where are you guys living? Boise?
ReplyDeleteWhere is his job?
ReplyDeleteOh I guess I forgot to mention that we are living in Nampa still and the job is in Payette. He has a one hour commute.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that he found a job!! That's one less thing to worry about right now!
ReplyDeleteHey that's great, at least he is able to start somewhere. I am not looking forward to Kyle being in the same situation, it is just so hard these days. I am very happy for you guys.
ReplyDeleteIs he willing to commute? I'll check with my BIL... he works at a local firm and may know of some openings....
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know what I find out Ü
OKAY... so I just checked with my BIL and he said that his firm is not hiring for 2010 - sorry!! But, he did recommend a great website. He said that there are openings out there that are local, but just not very well advertised. Here is the website

Yay for getting a job!
ReplyDeleteAlyson, I think you have a remarkable honest way of expressing yourself. The fact is that sometimes life is hard and there's nothing wrong with reaching a little bit deeper when we find those times!! I think that is what you did. I loved your postings that were from the depth of your soul
ReplyDeleteNow is a good time too when you have the stability of some income too; and your beautiful family and pictures we love. But the difficult times teach us so much, so we can treasure those also. Thank you for letting me spout off! I love you. Mom
Congrats on the job! A lot of people I took the bar exam with just went out on their own because there are NO jobs here in AZ. I'm doing some paralegal work here myself.
ReplyDeleteBut you are right. At least it's an income! Blessings!
I LOVE your new pic at the top!!! It is so cute!!! :D
ReplyDeleteYou are not depressing or sad. So funny. Oh by the way.....Say it... I am good at it...you know what I mean!! ;)
