Don't take this blog the wrong way....I love my job BUT there are also some duties that I'm not overly fond of....one would be coping. First off, you have to understand that I work for Engineers, and Engineers seem to like paper and different sizes of paper at that!! So, this morning I had one of my Engineers hand me a huge pile of papers and he asked me if I could make him, "just one copy"!! So, for the next hour, I removed staples and then re-stapled, unfolded and refolded drawings, had to go to a special copier to print the drawing and then copy over two thousand pages of Engineering stuff. When I handed it to the Engineer he commented on how fast I got it done and I told him is was one of my least favorite things to do, so I got it done right away so it wasn't sitting on my desk. He did thanked me but I wonder if he stopped to think about the hour worth of work I lost just to copy his paperwork. I doubt it!!!
With this up-coming move, I've thought a lot of my career and what direction I want it to go. I am so thankful to have a job and also to be employeed by the Government, I am blessed but I think its time for a change. Because Ft. McCoy is a smaller base, I can't be too picky so I might have to take a secretarial type job but once I get my foot in the door, I'm going to try something different. There are so many unknown right now; were we are going to live, are we going to be able to sell our house, how long with Thomas and I have to live apart, will I find job!!!! I'm sure we'll look back at this time in our lives and being able to have a good laugh and look what we got out of the whole experience. But as of today, I feel a little stressed and overwhelmed but I'm thankful for my husband & children, good health and my job....even if it does involve coping.

I know you know this, but remember my friend, God is in control. As I read this blog, I thought about the verse that says He knows the numbers of hair on our head... that always amazes me... wow, He knows me that well!
The fact that a job opened up near the house you LOVE says a lot. God is in control and things will fall into place in HIS timing. I have been through this recently and I can say that while it felt like I would never see the light at the end of the tunnel, going through the wait made me appreciate what I have so much more.
So, watch out my friend... God has something big planned for you and your family. I can feel it!
I miss you!
