The waiting game that is.
It seems like that is what we are doing right now.
Waiting.
Waiting to see what, where and when Sean's next job will be. Hopefully the when will be soon!! The what I am less concerned about, so long as it brings in the $$ - just being honest, here. And preferably a little more $ than the OSB job so that I can cut back my hours at work. The where I am the least concerned about. We love our home, but are also willing to move if needed. Salem?? Portland/Vancouver?? Or stay right here in the Eugene area??
On the same lines, waiting to know when/where Sean will go back to school. This seems to be contingent upon the job. What/where/whenever that may be.
Waiting to see what my next calling at church will bring. Our stake YW president and her family is moving as of the 11th of this month but I found out they won't be releasing us until our stake conference on September 20th!
For now we are just trying to remain positive and be thankful that I have my job. We are both still comforted that there is a definite plan for our future (thank goodness or I think I would be fReAking out here!) and we just need to continue to have faith, but also be proactive regarding our future. We did find out that 2 of the jobs Sean applied for fell through (one in Salem and one in Eugene) so that has been frustrating because it had seemed that one of those could be the answer. Meanwhile Sean continues job hunting and we wait.
Grrr... I hate this game.

We hate it too. We don't want you to move, but we understand. Of course, I will be moving...hey! You guys SHOULD move to Provo....it will be an adventure!
Oh how I hate the waiting game!! I hope you get some answers soon!
How was camp? My mom and I reminisced a lot while she was here. It was her first year not going and I think she felt a little weird. But I'm sure glad she skipped it to be with me!
Well we hope that things work out for you! And that you guys find out soon. We get to play that game in a few months when jeff applies for graduate school.
Not knowing but be unsettling and stress you out, even though you feel it will work out - hang in there!
P.S. We have a couple of empty rooms - I know - you don't wanna leave OR!
I have been in your place and while I can see how everything was set up for perfectly in hind sight at the time I felt like I had no control over anything. I have a proposal for you. It is super important to stay connected with your spouse during this time because it can be really stressful. What if Ethan comes over to our house for a play date next week sometime and you guys go somewhere (ie. ice cream, Shakespeare in the Park, drive up the McKenzie, whatever) Plus I know that after Sean's camping trip and your girl's camp trip you guys could probably use some connecting time. Give me a call.
I hate feeling like that too. We don't know what our plans our in about 6 months. We shall see... We shall see.
Oh Jennifer, I'm sorry. I am so with ya there on the waiting came. It's starting TODAY. Greg finished his thesis yesterday and now the job hunt begins. All the questions, all the same. But yes, the Lord ALWAYS provides. I'm glad you're being proactive. That's the best way to be!
