"Welcome to Logan!"

"Welcome to Logan!" The sign said, heralding good changes, but then unexpected tough trials. 

Good Changes:

I am working at a dermatology office working front desk/receptionist. Originally, the job was part time, but while doing paper work they offered me full time. This means benefits after the probation 90 day period. I'm pretty happy about that since I've gotten no news from one job and bad news from a USU one, which both I thought I had interviewed very well with. I really enjoy what I am doing and who I work with, it is great.

Tough Trials:

Both of us were pretty sick for the first couple of weeks making it hard to motivate to do anything, the house still had boxes unpacked. Also, Carson has had quite the change of things, the day we moved in, a Friday, we found out that the OIT type job he had with USU retracted their offer, only two days before he would have started. Which was horrible and quite a hit on our confidence on this being here is the right step for us. The next day, Saturday, we went to Carson's friend house to use his internet, and Carson applied for a couple of jobs. One was this insulation installation technician position, about ten minutes after emailing the guy the guy called him and practically offered him the job but wanted him to come in to make sure he was what they were looking for (clean cut and friendly looking) and if he would want to work that job. 

He got the job. It is one of those paid by the job, and the hours have been not his favorite, or mine. They told him it would be like 6am-3pm which would be great, but lately its been more like 11 am to 7 pm along with full Saturdays with hardly any lunches scheduled in, so he is not particularly enjoying it because of the hours and unpredictability of it. However, we are grateful he has something, otherwise we would be hurting financially and Carson would be going crazy without anything to do. Needless to say, his job-hunt isn't over. We have had some hopeful news in the making that maybe his whole situation may change in the next few weeks. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

Amongst all these trials with this move to Logan, I feel closer and more grateful to my Heavenly Father who knows my needs and desires, but also knows I still need to learn a lot, and to Carson. I also want to say how grateful I am to the help, love, and support I receive from family and friends.
