Current Mood: disappointeddisappointed
So I know it has been awhile and the life of Lora has been lots of serving at Cherry Valley Lodge and applying for jobs. I was supposed to have an interview today but they just called and said they offered the job to someone else already...A lil blow but I do have a couple other prospects right now that may go my way. It is hard to not get discouraged but I have to keep telling myself that I what I am doing right now is for a reason.

I am hoping to make it up to Northern for Homecoming and just be able to relax and have fun with great friends!!!!

I hope everyone is doing well!!!

Current Mood: blahblah
So the last couple weeks for me have been crazy! The DC trip was good but I think the grandparents did more than they wanted...After we got home we found out that my cousin got into some trouble with the law but was not going to say anything but her picture was in the paper so everyone found out...kind of ironic...Then on Wednesday I started serving at the Cherry Valley Lodge. I have worked like 6AM to 2pm everyday since and take my test tomorrow. Oh I hope I pass becuause it is driving me nuts. We also have to do room service and the head manager is a spaz! Fun times let me tell you! I now remember why I was glad to be done with serving!!! Oh well I guess I have to make money somehow though! This getting up at 4:45am is going to kill me though!

Hope all is going well and good luck to everyone who is going back to ONU! I miss ya!!!

So Jenny and Chas' wedding was a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone!!! They are definitely the cutest couple!!!!

Anywho, I was just informed last night that I am going to D.C. next weekend with my Uncle, cousin, grandma, and my Aunt's parents. Oh it is going to be very interesting considering 3 are over the age of 80 for a whirl-wind trip around D.C. So it should be a very interesting time!

Trying not to get frustrated about the whole job thing but it just keeps looming overhead....It seems as if I am supposed to be doing this other stuff right now and things will happen when they are supposed to but you all know my patience is not the greatest!!!

Hope all is going well!

That is the way it seems my life is right now. I have been under qualified for PR jobs and over for serving jobs because they know I will leave if I get a "real" job. It is definitely getting frustrating and living at home is getting a bit old too. I am just hoping that I can keep my head up and understand why things are this way right now!

On a happier note, I got to babysit Kyler last friday! She is definitely a cutie but I know that I am not ready for children yet! Also, Jenny's wedding is tomorrow so that will be fun to see some people from school and celebrate with her and Chas.

Here's to a fun weekend....

This weekend with Amanda was great! It was nice to catch up and meet her friends and youth. We went to a picnic and a praise and worship time and it really made me realize that I need/want to be around people like that again. At my home church things are still crazy with trying to find a new minister and I just don't really feel like I fit it, which is weird for me because I can ususally adapt to anything. I guess I am just ready for a change and to start a new journey but that entails a job and and all that fun stuff. I am definitely learning that I need to let go of control again because I always seem to take it back. But I also am finding that things are this way right now because this is what I need to be doing. Case in point...Megan just called me today and her husband's aunt died unexpectedly so she asked if I can help out with Kyler and travel arrangements since they are both at work. Now that obviously wouldn't be happening if I already had any sort of job. Some people may just say it is a coicidence but I definitely think there is more to it! I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and trying to figure out where I need to go and what I need to do in my life right now so if you could send up a prayer or two it would be much appreciated.

So my summer has picked up a bit and I had an interview on Monday but they want 5 years experience so I don't really know why I was there but I still have to wait and see. If this does not pan out I am going to have to start serving somewhere, hopefully roadhouse but who knows. I also have a few more people to contact for informational interviews so maybe something will come of those.

I went up to the OBW program at Findlay last Wednesday...it was great to see everyone and made me miss it. Then I stay with my sisters and then went to visit Val and Sarah over the weekend! Good times were had and if you have not seen the movie The Notebook, you must see it!!!

I am going down to Chillicothe this weekend to visit Amanda, which will be nice because it has been a long time since we have gotten to hang out!

I am going to help out with Bible School tonight so I better get off of here!

Have a good one and let me know if you hear of any jobs!!!!!

Current Mood: hopefulhopeful
So I still do not have a job and have not had any interviews but in the last week I have sent out a lot of resumes so hopefully something will come of them! I am still enjoying my free time though, a little to much I think! :)

I am going to Red, White & Boom tomorrow with my sis and then to the Crew game on Saturday with the family and probably family stuff for the 4th. Lots of time with the fam but it is still some sort of social life. LOL!

Can't believe that it is July already! Where does the time go?!

May. 24th, 2004 @ 01:24 pm My days at ONU are over....
Current Mood: not really sure
These past few weeks have definitely been fun/crazy and so surreal. Even the graduation ceremony yesterday didn't seem real. It wasn't until I was about to leave the empty apartment and began to drive away that it really hit me. It was a long drive home but it was good to be alone to let everything sink in. I know that I am gonna miss everyone so much and we will stay in touch. None of this oh we just lost touch!!! Four years ago you could not have told me that leaving ONU would have been the hardest thing of my life thus far but the friendship I have made surpass anything else. It was a time of laughter/ drama/ tears but we made it through! I love you guys and know that I am only a phone call away!!!

Anywho, now it is back to reality and the real world. I have so much unpacking to do and continue to search for a job. It is definitely overwhelming but this week I am just going to relax and hopefully not go crazy living at home again.


Well it is time to be lazy! Have a great one!
