Another Chapter.

I am sitting in a really old classroom and it was probably really cool in mid 1800's when it was first built. The chalkboard is built into the wall and framed with wood molding... and nothing looks REALLY strait. What amazes me the most is the craftsmanship in the building. People just dont do that anymore. The doors are all tall and wooden and when you walk in the room you walk up two steps. The desks are really narrow and high. Definitely meant for taking notes and not typing on a laptop. Matt really likes this room for studying... I'm not sure why. But they are enjoying throwing the football around once in awhile when they cant quite figure out the solution. Whatever works to relieve the stress. Now that you can imagine my florescent lit surroundings I'll get on with the story of my life.
My job-less situation is a lot less stressful and daunting than it was on tuesday. It's kind of a joke at work. I make joke about what I will and will not have to do at my new job. haha I have applied for four jobs and have only been rejected by one (they were looking for a casual worker) I have three more possibilities and I hope that there is one that is perfect. I would love to get a job at College Hill... conveniently they were hiring... A God thing to be sure. I am really not crazy about their starting shift of 10-6. I just think it would be rough coming into town at 8:15 for Matt's first class and me not having to work for another two hours. THEN I lose a lot of my evening too. That's a big thing for me. I would get a new shift as soon as someone else quit and they had to hire again. That could be two months or two years. Not so much. The next one is pretty close by.. BUT I tried to find it today but couldnt ( I emailed my resume) and then the third one is a little farther away, the pay is great, they sound really good. SO the rest remains to be seen.
My boss said I could take some time at work to go to interviews and she will even pay me for that time... like YAY! haha so that is the job hunt. I will let you know if I actually get any interviews.... Because if I do I will look for a kid that looks like they need some special hugs and then I will know if it is the perfect job. :)
Matt said his Exam went alright for him today. Last saturday I forgot to pray for his first exam because I was so busy and it just slipped my mind. The second one I remembered and I really thought and prayed about it. The way it turned out, the first exam wasnt real great and the second one went really well. So today Matt said to me... dont forget to pray. I was SO pumped. I had a job to do and I was going to do it well. At 2:00 I was going to pray hardcore at work. 2:00 rolled around and I had to get the babies up, we were running late and I forgot and didnt remember until 5:00... just when the exam was over. I couldnt believe it.. .my one job and I blew it. I felt so bad. Then I couldnt even find matt and my cell phone was dead. So I just went to the church and hung out with Renata.. she told me that Jesus still knew what Matt needed.
I am not looking for sympathy here, but I did want to share.. Im not really sure why... Maybe to show all of you that I am not perfect.. but then again... you knew that... that was so silly (said in my kid voice)
Anyway, enough of that foolishness. I really need to thank you guys for your constant support during this stressful time. Matt and I are still holding up well and are still able to smile at the end of the day and you guys just make that difference. I will be sure to read Matt all the comments on the way home later tonight. I didnt want to embarrass him in front of his friends (you know how boys can be) or break his concentration.
Love you all oodles....
Amanda and Matt

PS... Tomorrow's exam is at 2:00... I WILL remember to pray... you too!

PSS... Matt is taking me out for supper tomorrow night... and NOT to wendys. A REAL life restaurant. YAY! Its a date! Ill give you the juicy details later.
