New Job!

So yesterday morning I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, it was a landscaping company I had interviewed with the week before offering me the receptionist job! You have no idea how excited I am to be offered a job that is not in the food service industry. On top of that, it is a full time, 40 hours a week position with a family owned company. The couple is really nice and the office is incredibly secure. God is so good! I was only looking for two weeks (only it felt like two months).

Mark is working harder at getting into shape for the marines. Running, strength training, eating healthier, and me following behind trying to keep up. It is rough right now though. He is what is called a poole in the US Marines Delayed Entry Program. He reports to a Sergent in a recruiting office and goes to as many PT and monthly meetings that he can. However his original Sergent was deployed in March and now has a new, younger, straight back from Afghanistan Sergent. This guy isn't married, has no kids and has been in the Marines since he graduated from high school and has no idea what it is like to have to work a job out of the military, hoping you can cover all your bills and support a wife. Needless to say, the guy is nice, but he doesn't understand Mark going to work when he can't get off instead of going to PTs or meetings (which Mark makes most of them anyways). What have I learned from all of this? There is drama everywhere you go, even in a military office.

Lately I have been feeling almost like I am having an "out of body experience", except I am not...not that it makes sense. I just don't feel like I am already 22 years old and married. I don't feel old enough sometimes to have a husband who is going into the military, looking at possibly having a kid in the next few years (God-willing). But at the same time, I am excited about the future.
