The Job Hunt

Two months after graduation, Ted is still job hunting. It doesn't seem like Mechanical Engineering should be that difficult of a field to find a job in, but I guess in today's economy every field is tough to find a job in. 

There was a time when I would have been very concerned about Ted not having a job lined up as soon as he graduated. Somehow, I'm not so concerned about it anymore. What Ted does for a job doesn't seem as important as it once did. Of course, I want Ted to be happy at work, and of course, we would like to be able to afford to live in our own place again one day and not have to live with my parents forever, but we're getting by for now, and I'm sure other job opportunities will come along.

I just feel like whatever happens, whatever stepping stone jobs Ted has to take to work up to what he really wants to do, we'll make it work. We'll find ways to meet our financial obligations and provide for our family. I don't need many material goods to be happy; I just need to be able to spend time with people I love. I'm so grateful for the family and friends I have in my life and for the happiness they bring me. I'm grateful for my husband and son and that we'll always have each other as we figure out this mortal life together. And I'm grateful that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and who is looking out for me and my little family and will guide us in the best path for us to learn and grow and find joy in this life and in the life after. I feel at peace about my future, despite the uncertainty of the present, and I'm grateful for that blessing from the Lord, and for this time living with my family before we go wherever Ted's next employment opportunity takes us.
