So here I am stealing some more wifi lol. I found out that I didn't get the job at the mortgage company yesterday. Guess it's for the best, though. I don't think I really wanted to work at a mortgage company, I think I just wanted to work. Anyways, the girl from Adams & Associates, Carolynn, is amazing. She is doing everything she can to get me a job, even if it's not through the company. She actually called her mom and sister and even an old friend who works for the governer's office to see if she could find anything. I've been joking around with her and calling her my best friend every time she calls me. I'm seriously gonna get her flowers or take her out to dinner or something when I actually start working and have some money.
David wants me to do a ton of stuff today. He wants me to take the car to get the oil changed at the Honda dealership. I'm not sure if they actually do oil changes, though, so I'm gonna call them when they open. It's only 5:11 AM right now. We've been waking up at about 3 every morning so David can eat breakfast and get to work on time. I'm sort of getting used to it, but I'm sure that once I start sleeping in a real bed that's not outside, I'll want to sleep in a little more. 😊
I've been really trying my best not to get depressed, but it's getting hard. I swear I cry at the drop of a hat now. I think both of us are just completely physically, mentally, and emotionally stressed. Carolynn called the apartments we want to get in yesterday to see if they would accept the fact that David works a lot of overtime and makes more than enough for us to live there. But, they said that unless his boss can guarantee his overtime, they can't do that. So, he's going to talk to his boss today and see what they can do. They won't let us move into the apartment until we can prove that we make at least 3 times the rent a month, which is $2,790. If they don't count his overtime, technically we don't make that. If I could get any job, we would be fine. I swear I have put in well over a hundred applications everywhere and sent resumes. I just really don't know what to do. Nobody is hiring. Either that, or I am too "over-qualified" for certain jobs because of my degree. Having a college degree seems like it is hurting me more than helping me right now. Bah.
Well, I really really really really really miss everyone. So does David. It's beautiful up here and I can't wait until we can actually start enjoying it. We have so many plans! I love you all and miss you like crazy. Don't forget about us!

That's awesome you have somebody looking out for you guys :). If I were you I would just get on at a restaraunt or a bar making tips. It's definantly something you don't wanna do forever, but it's good money, and it will give you a buffer for getting a job with your degree. It's good you have your degree, it's tough getting a job right away, but once you get one you'll make better money than if you didnt have that degree!!
