There are so many different technicalities a couple must do before getting married. Whether it’s finding a new apartment, making sure finances and bills are in order, or making sure you are set to start a life with someone–it’s A LOT of work.
One of the things we’re struggling with (hey, we’re not perfect) is Mathew finding a full time job. You see, I already have a full time job even though I’m also a full time student. It’s not easy for me, but luckily taking most of my classes this semester online through our school has helped make the many hours of class and work bearable. Mathew on the other hand is taking more hours of school than me (I’m taking 4 classes, he’s taking 6) but has a part time job. He doesn’t make much with his job, but it’s enough to pay for his few bills that he has.
He’s graduating in 24 days and desperately needs to find a job that is full time. No job, no wedding. FOR REAL. Even though we’ve paid many deposits and saved tons of money, we can’t get married if we can’t afford our own place and our own bills. Therefore, he has to find a job, like, NOW. We’re not getting married til December, but you all know how bad this economy is, and how hard it is to find a job, so he’s looking now. Plus, the sooner he finds it- the faster we can save for furniture, our honeymoon, and an apartment.
Right now Mathew is applying for a job that has History involved (his specialty). His degree is going to be General Studies (it’s complicated but basically he’s taking Texas Tech classes through our community college and it’s the only degree they offer through that program), so his job findings are limited. He found one that he’s super interested in and I’m really hoping he gets it.
In any case, I need you all to pray, send good thoughts, or just leave him some words of encouragement! Him getting this job (or A job in general) will make or break everything…
you’re both in my thoughts! don’t worry, the stars will align and things will start happening (for the best!)! happy thoughts 😉
jasmine- you’re a sweetie! thanks so much dear 🙂
I’m keeping you in my thoughts, Stephanie, and am sending him tons of encouragement! I have been there before, and just when I thought things wouldn’t work out, they did. I just know they will for you guys, too! Keep believing! 🙂
I’ll definitely keep you and Mathew in my prayers!! Keep us updated!!
You are both in my thoughts! Sending good vibes! It’s such a tough economy – I lost my teaching job last year. Thanks GOODNESS we worked super hard to squirel away money and have been ok with me working part-time subsitute teaching. Best of luck! Things will work out for a reason!
Good luck!! I am sure it will all work out. I will pray for the two of you.
I know this is a very stressful time for you both! You’re in my heart and prayers- hoping for a job that helps to make all your dreams come true.
Keeping you both in my prayers. Although its a stressful time to look for jobs, I know everything will work out just fine!!
Thinking of you two as well! Heather is right: It always seems that just when you think things will never work out…they do. And everything always tends to fall into place at once. Sending good vibes your way!
Praying that we will find a job!! : )
