I’m going to go through a bit of retro-blogging for the next couple posts, since, once again, I’ve failed to keep my goal of blogging more regularly. There’re no pictures with this post, I just wanted to do some quick news catch up. But, first things first, since I haven’t made any updates on my pregnancy situation, I’ll do that now.
To move on, during the last month, Sterling and I have been a little worried about what we were going to do next. Sterling’s seasonal job with the Division of Natural Resources (DNR) was supposed to end on Sept 30. Fortunately his boss has let him extend work until Oct 22nd. However, we were faced with the dilemma of no current job prospects once it ended. He had applied several places but nothing was happening as fast as we needed or wanted it to; then suddenly, this last week, things exploded!
He went in for a job interview with the Saratoga Springs Police Department as an Animal Control Officer and was told that he’s one of the top two candidates. Then, he got a call from the Idaho State Highway Patrol and they want him to come up for an interview on Oct 19th. They want to hire him too. And then we get a call from the Division of Wildlife Services (I think that’s what they’re called) saying they want him to come in for an interview for a Fish Hatchery position down in Fountain Green, UT. (It’s just south of Nephi, off a random highway). So now we face the dilemma of which job to accept. Funny how things can flip so quickly on you. I’m not trying to sound ungrateful that so many great opportunities suddenly came our way, especially in this economy, but it’s just frustrating still. We’ve talking it over a million times, but are still not closer to a decision on what we’ll do yet.
