Coffee!

I had an interview at Starbucks location #2 on Monday. Then merely an hour later I got a call from location #1 and they want me to come back in for a second interview. If the manager likes me, I get the job!

Thats all there is to it! I geuss it is really "pass or fail."

Yikes.

But, its a job. And I need a job.

But my luck is, I get this job and then all my little temporary jobs will be calling me, needing my help.

It is like a viscious cycle: No job. too many jobs. No job. Too many. I don't know which is more stressful, no job and no money or too many jobs and no time to breathe.

The interview yesterday, at Starbucks location #1, went well. I think I got the job.... she told me to wait for a call, an "offer." So, they want to hire me, its just not official yet.

Last night, Darrell calls me. "Can you clean on Wednesday?" he asks. And I say "of course," Of Course!

So, today I called them back. I admit, I have been a little anxious! The person who answered said I won't get a call until Friday b/c the person who has to make the "offer" (job title and pay are negotiated) won't be back to work until then.

Until then, I wait. So goes my life: Waiting.....Waiting.....WorkWorkWork.....Waiting.....Waiting.....

God must be teaching me patience!

Lynn Discovers Photoshop!

This is Grandma and Grandpa Osborn, my maternal grandparents.

I was playing around in photoshop and liked the effect I got!

It has a very patriotic feel!

Okay, so things are getting bumpy. Our lease is up, so instead of renewing the two-bedroom apartment (who needs all that room? Not us!), we are moving to Hobe Sound somewhere on HIM's campus.

Since Sam and I are both in school, the transition will require a careful balance of packing ahead of time and planning when to make the move. We have to be out of our current apartment on the 12th of November, so we at least have a deadline.

I think I will like being back in Hobe Sound; we have been living in Stuart and I really miss "campyville."

This is a picture of our dining room in our third-floor apartment. Nice view, hate the stairs! It takes both of us two or three trips just to get the groceries up the stairs!

Okay, so I am really delayed in writing this.

This pic is of a truck I really liked. It was parked in front of my favorite restaurant back home.

Back in august, I went home (Illinois) for two weeks. Yes, I know, TWO WHOLE WEEKS! It was a real treat, considering I haven't been home for a year!

I got to see so many people, mostly family!

My favorite thing I did at home was can homemade salsa! MMMM Yummy!

I got to see both of my brothers, Chris and Scott. Scott is younger than me but Chris is older. He has one beautiful, smart yet very ornery duplication of himself, Hayden Lane--aged 3 years!

My sister has two beautiful blonde girls, Nicole(5) and Naomi(7).
I spent some time with my dad, picking tomatoes from his garden.

Another experience I enjoyed was a birthday party for my 1-year-old niece, complete with face-smearing cake!

I got to see lots of cousins and aunt/uncles at one family picnic.
My grandparents were very happy that I was at home, and we had a good time visiting everyone.

My mom and I spent a few days together. It is always a little awkward with her, but we still managed to have a good time at her house and at the stables. She has two horses, and takes very good care of them.

If I can think of anything else, I will add it later!

Now....

Things are really interesting around here. Both Sam and I are taking college classes, so the computer is almost ALWAYS in use.
Sam works 3rd shift at WalMart and he sleeps during the day. That means I have to TRY to be quiet :-)
I am working part-time cleaning on Hutchinson Island.

My college classes consist of Anatomy & Physiology and General Psychology. It is very frustrating, re-taking classes just b/c IRCC won't accept HSBC's credit! It has delayed my program of study. I am SOOO ready to be a nurse! Oh well, all is in God's timing!

Well, I guess he "reeled" me in, "hook line and sinker." hahaha :-)

Start from the beginning....

Well, where do I start?
Sam and I met in 2005, when he came to Hobe Sound Bible College to further his education.
We started dating March 2006 and Sam proposed in April. We didn't think it would be too smart to get married right away, so we lived our separate lives and planned our wedding for later down the road. Meanwhile, I went on TLC to Honduras. Sam got a new job-the overnight shift at WalMart. Since then, I have been plodding my way through IRCC's nursing program.
We planned on a December wedding. It was set for Christmas Eve, in Alabama. All the plans were made, all we had to do was show up. But a few weeks prior to the "big day," a few family problems came up, including the declining health of two relatives. The stress became too much for my family and for Sam's, so we postponed the wedding. We didn't reschedule the wedding, so everything was "up in the air."
At one point, we weren't sure if getting married was the right thing to do....
To be continued.....
