Yayhoooo!

So I just pressed enter on accident and published my post, which consisted soley of the title yaygoo, or yayhoo rather. Haha, yaygoo. Anyway, what is so happy is the fact that Ryan has got himself an internship. It is unpaid, but right here in Provo. He will be able to do that part time and still work doing meter reading, so it's working out nicely. Also, it sounds like he will be getting good experience, despite what we had heard, so he's pretty excited and relieved as you can imagine. So thanks for the prayers and such!

yayhooo!

well now that's too bad

Ryan didn't get it and we are pretty bummed. He's going to try and find a volunteer internship, because it doesn't look like anywhere is hiring. He needs to find something soon so he can graduate. From what we hear, Provo already doesn't have enough work to keep the planners they have busy, and a lot of cities are cutting back or have hiring freezes because of the bad economy. So anyway, Ryan doesn't really want to volunteer at Provo, because he feels he won't really learn anything valuable, that is if they would even take him. So who knows. We are keeping confidant that the right thing will turn up, but if not, it will all work out somehow :).

the silence is deafening or the noise is, what?

Still waiting to hear anything. They took the position off their website, so someone has the job I'm thinking. Maybe it could still be Ryan? Monday is a holiday so hopefully we'll know by Tuesday? We just want to know, even if it's a no-go, so we can get on with things max!

Howdy doody

Christmas fun. Doesn't she look so happy about her new toy santa brought her?

Yay paper!

My mom's a crazo weirdy

So here's what's up

Ryan felt that his interview went well. He said there were six total interviewees. He recognized three of them from his classes. We'll know by the end of the week if he got it or not, or they said they may do a second interview, so we will see. He thinks his chances are pretty good because he knows that a lot of the others still had a class or two that they'd have to work around, and he is all done with classes, so that's good. As he was leaving, they brought up the fact that he lived in Provo and how that was a long commute and also about if they would have to do anything for his internship. He told them that if he got the job we would be moving closer and that for his internship they would have to write a review of what he did for them and how they think he performed, that sort of thing, so there's nothing really to worry about. So I'm thinking if those were their only concerns it's looking pretty good, don't you think? Anyway, now it's just waiting to hear back. I'm actually pretty excited for the change, and the idea of looking for an apartment. It will be my first time out of my parent's or in-laws home and the first time paying rent, if you can believe it. I mean, our apartment now has felt like our home more than our in-laws basement. They have been really good about that. And I'm not looking forward to paying rent and realizing just how poor we are, but it's still kind of exciting, you know what I mean even though I can't explain with my words because I'm pretty much special so there you have it folks. Anyway, I'm sounding as though it's a sure thing, and it's not, so here's hoping though!

something is in the air

And it is change. Or it could just be the dirty diapers in the trash receptacle. Hmm..But anyway, Ryan does have an interview today in Morgan. So wish him luck because it is the closest place he's found thus far and I want to stay as close to family as we can. I don't like all the waiting and wondering. First to see if he got a call back for an interview and now to see if he gets the job. So GOOD LUCK TO RYAN!!!
