Update-Sort of!

This is another update, sort of. Really, there is nothing new to report, except a few new thoughts. We are still just looking everywhere we can for a job, and I've even applied for a job just to see if we can get by. We have one last week of unemployment, and then we're not sure what we are going to do! We have printed off a bunch of Rob's resumes and we are going to email them to all the companies we can think of that might have graphic designers. Hopefully something will work out! Another thought we had last night that we are going to start working on is the possibility of going back to school. Rob's wanted to go back to get his Bachelors, someday, and we started thinking, well, maybe now is someday. We can't seem to get a job, and with the economy the way it is, who knows how long before we do get one?! So, why not spend this "struggling" time actually struggling towards something? And, Rob's mom's new house is in Clearfield, which isn't far from Weber State, so we are considering trying to go there. Or, I have an aunt and uncle from Cache Valley who just left on a mission and whose house is sitting empty. They tried to get somebody to move in while they were gone, but it didn't work out, so we know they would let us stay there if we wanted to, and then Rob could finish at USU. The down side to that one is that their mission is only 18 months, and it would be down to just a year by the time school started, so half way through school we would have to figure out a different living situation. So, anyway, we are just starting to work on those thoughts, so who knows if that will end up being what we do. And, we still have to come up with some kind of a job to get us through until school starts, so there is still a lot of things we have to figure out and have work for us. But, at least it's somewhere else to go, besides just waiting around for a job! Thanks for reading the whole way through, if you did, and letting me put my thoughts out. One way or the other we will get through this time, huh?!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that my brother and his family are going to be moving to Idaho, just north of Rexburg sometime in March. He got a new job with a company up there, and they are excited about it! It is a corporate job, so he will have a Monday through Friday, 8-5 job, which will be a huge blessing for him! He's been working swing, including like 3 out of 4 Saturdays, and he's really excited to get a more consistant schedule! I'm so excited for him for that part, but I'm so sad that he will be moving away! But, it's not as far as it could be, and we are already planning on going to Yellowstone and visiting with them a lot for vacations!

It sounds like you guys are working hard at figuring out what you are going to do! Your Aunt and Uncle have to be the coolest to let you stay at their house for a whole year and a half! ;) I hope things work out and that you figure something out. We'll pray for ya!

I think school's a good idea. And the opportunities of living somewhere close to school are nice. Hope your kids get better soon! We'll have to get together when everyone's healthy. Although that could be a while. . .

Sorry you haven't been able to find a job yet. I think it is a good time to be in school. More education can never hurt. We've decided to do more schooling because of the economy. I know things will work out. Good luck!

I have to agree with Jaime; school is a good idea. These days, without a Bachelor's degree, you don't get very far. Good luck making the decision!
