Worky, Worky, Worky...

It's Abbey- Updating on yes, you guessed it, work life!
First of all, please pray for John and his work. His company is trying to put him on a different job down here in Oklahoma, that he did not originally plan on. This would be fine, except that the wage is much lower, and on that job our housing does not get paid for. It's just a teeny bit stressful for us, trying to make sure that Willmar Electric realizes what is going on here.

And.... the 'big news'! I found a job! :) Chick-Fil-A here in Lawton called last night and said they'd like to hire me. I was somewhat surprised, as I had only dropped off my application that same morning, and had a brief chat with a manager. That afternoon they called and asked me to come in for a more official interview. When I arrived, there was 20-25 other applicants all there as well. Feeling a bit overlooked and disappointed, I did my interview with a second manager, and that evening got a call. It's pretty neat how that all worked out. Apparently I made an impression on them.
Now, I realize that some folks may have aversions to working in the fast food industry... and while I understand where they are coming from, I'm pretty excited for this. I will be able to stay busy, meet and greet people, and work in a fast paced and delicious environment. Just fine by me! So, I have orientation today- and start working shortly after that!
I'm honestly pretty glad that the physical therapy position I applied for didn't work out, because I just have much more peace and 'happies' about this opportunity. The owner of this restaurant is a sweet christian man that we met through church, and I'm thrilled to work for a christian company with high morals and standards.
