Well, after waiting for what seemed to be a LONG time I am finally off the list of people in America who are currently unemployed (which is currently at 9.8%). I have been interviewing at Human Services Inc. in Oakdale, MN for the past few weeks for a position as one of their Life Skills Counselors at the Day Treatment Center. It is for local teens who struggle with behavioral and conduct disorders. I work as one of the recreation therapists which basically means I work with the students on social skills, character traits, and learning how to make positive behavioral choices. I start work on Monday which will be the first Monday I’ve had to go to “work” since the beginning of August 2008!

This past year has been crazy with school, internships, and working part time as a counselor at a local charter school. We are all glad this process is finally over. We are also excited to see where God leads as I start working in a setting I hadn’t exactly anticipated when I left TreeHouse. I guess that’s why I’m not the one who makes the decisions for how my life goes

Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, and encouragement over the past year and specifically the past few months. Make sure you check back here for updates and more information on work, family, and where God is leading our family.
