The last couple months

So I haven't been posting to my blog the past couple months... which I know is kinda pathetic, since I just started the blog and all, but I've been in a rut. A couple days after I started the blog, I unfortunately found out that I was getting laid off. Which threw me for a loop.... in a bad way. So I've been looking for jobs.... and sadly... it appears.... there aren't any! Hooray! :-( but I'm gonna keep plugging away and hope that something comes around.

A week or so after I lost my job, Michael got a new job! Hooray!! But it's in Tallahassee, so we are working hard at keeping our relationship going strong from a distance. He comes in every Friday after work so we get to spend every weekend together! So I look forward to every Friday with all my heart!!! I wish he could be here everyday, but I know that we are gonna make it through this and it will just make our love stronger!

Besides looking for jobs I've started walking more and trying to stay active and learn new things. You really don't realize how long a day is until you aren't working or sticking to a schedule. So I'm starting to paint again and hoping I can get together a collection of work and maybe see if people want to buy some of them! Also learning to make webpages, and knit.

I'm also trying to expand my job search, to see what else I can do with this Architecture degree, besides Architecture. I am looking to see if there are some teaching jobs out there, maybe sell some art, and I've toyed with the idea of going into reality... but I have no idea if the reality thing would pan out, with the housing market being a disaster right now.... so basically i guess I'm doing a lot of job and soul searching.

Here's hoping everything will fall into place soon!

  1. Hi Julia! Sorry to hear about the job and Michael's relocation. Life really ebbs and flows, doesn't it? Having time to figure out what you want to do may be a blessing in disguise. You are so creative and smart, I'm sure things will turn up soon!! xoxo Kerry

  2. Thanks for posting a new blog, it was driving me crazy that there were no updates!
    Unemployment can be a blessing in disguise like Kerry said. We pray that you'll find something soon, and it looks like you are using your talents to keep you thriving. Best of luck to you. Love, Veronica
