What a crazy year 2011 was, lots of ups and downs, big successes and big let downs. It makes me wonder what 2012 holds in store for me. The end of 2011 found me spending lots of time with family as we celebrated Thanksgiving, and Christmas together. It was a much simpler holiday season than usual as Dad lost his job in October so money was pretty tight, but we made do and God watched over us and made sure that bills were covered and needs were met. Dad begins his new job at the end of the month which is good except for the fact that it is in Missouri. The job is a temp job that is expected to last 1-3 years. For now mom will be staying here, but perhaps she will eventually join him out there, only time will tell.
At the start of this new year I am also looking to move during the coming year. The first week of the year found me and my friend Rachel traveling to Eugene, Oregon where a job offer awaited me with a landscaping company. We stayed with Rachels sister Sarah and had a great time exploring the town and surrounding area. We took a trip down to Florence, OR and spent the night in a yurt in the Honeyman National Forest and spent some time playing on the South Jetty Beach, collecting seashells, writing in the sand and just enjoying ourselves.
My interview went really good but in the end I decided not to accept the offer as I really didn't like the Eugene area and the job was only going to be part time. So it's back to plan A which is to go to school in the fall at the University of Idaho to earn a bachelors and a masters degree in landscape architecture.If nothing else 2012 is sure to bring some big changes in my life and in the life of my family. Hopefully they are all changes for the best.
I love your update!! Sounds like you had such a fun trip! We need to get together again soon! So back to school? A great decision :) although that means you will be moving??? SAD!! :(
