These past few weeks have definitely been interesting. First, I left my job at the oil company...it just wasn't the job for me. I had a hard time finding a job so I got really discouraged. Since I wasn't working, I took a trip back to Pensacola. It was so great and refreshing to be with family and friends for a few days. Don't get me wrong, we really like Houston, but Matt and I both were getting pretty home sick. Soon after returning to Houston, my parents came to visit. We had a lot of fun touring Houston and showing them our new life here. While they were here, we got a chance to visit the Museum of Natural Science, which was really interesting. We saw complete dinosaur fossils, rare gemstones and learned a lot about the oil industry here in Houston.
Soon after my parents left I got offered a job at First Baptist Academy, the school located within our church. I am working in the Admissions department in our primary school (infants through PreK). I've been there a week so far and I love it. I still have a lot to learn, but the people are really nice and I really enjoy the type of work I am doing. This job is such an answered prayer.
I'm so excited about Thanksgiving. It's definitely one of my favorite holidays. Matt and I are off Thursday and Friday so we'll be driving to Pensacola after work on Wednesday. It's an eight hour drive so it will be a late night for us. We're pumped about visiting P'cola for a long weekend!
Our house is still for sale back home. We've had people interested in it, but they haven't been able to get approved for a loan in these tough financial times. Please pray that our house will sell so we can settle down and bring our furniture and dogs over here! We miss our babies.
Below are some photos of our visit to the Museum of Natural Science and my birthday in October (Matt got me a delicious chocolate raspberry cake).
