Finally!

It's taken me seven years, three changed majors, one semester off, and about two years just going part time to get my Bachelors in History! I was really unmotivated during the last little bit of the semester but somehow I was able to get in gear and finish the papers and projects that needed to be done. The fact that I've graduated hasn't really hit me yet, even with walking in the actual ceremony. I don't think reality will hit until this fall when I'm not in class and Blake will be writing papers and studying.
I now turn my sites to looking for a better job... easier said than done. Not only is it the worst time to try and find a job, but there are very few jobs for History graduates as it is. Right now I'll settle for whatever job will pay me well and give me benefits while Blake starts his college career. I have a few options that I will be looking into within the next few weeks, but at least I've got a job for now.
It's not one that has any real promise, because really, I don't want to be a news reporter, anchor, or management in this place. The on-air talent gets paid almost nothing, and every manager and director in this place is corrupt and inept. Luckily, most of them work in the Idaho Falls office and a hardly have to deal with them, but those that I do work with down in Pocatello I love! My boss treats me so well, and she is such an awesome person. The reporters down here aren't the divas that have temper-tantrums, they're fun to work with and good, hard workers.
Blake is also wanting to look for another job where he isn't selling lawn programs and picking up after puppies and other animals. He tries every now and again to apply at different places, but with all the hours he covers, it leaves him hardly any time to find another job (I think they do that on purpose ;- )). At least we both have jobs, which is a great blessing right now.
Anyway, our life is good and we are having fun and doing great! One day soon I will post pictures I promise! I just have to remember to bring my camera and stuff to work one day, since this is the only place I can do it. :- )
