impatient.
I want to move out.

So many changes. God is doing a lot in my life right now and is just ramming the idea of patience down my throat.
Last I wrote I had finally reached my breaking point on the patience meter. Six months of living under my parents' roof working a part time job in retail. No schools were/are hiring. I gave up and started looking at jobs out of state. And when I say out of state, I mean out of state. Maryland. Virginia. You catch my drift.
The NEXT DAY while I'm working I get a phone call from one of the pastors at my church calls and leaves a message on my cell phone. "Whitney, call me back. I wanted to talk to you about a possible job."
So, to make a long story short, I put in my two weeks at Hobby Lobby (only four days left, by the way) and accepted a job at my church as the Database Manager. It's full time. It pays me significantly better than HLobby did. And best of all, no more dealing with customers. Or wearing a silly Hobby Lobby shirt. :o)
And this is all just part one of the saga. But I am done typing. So, I'll fill you in on the other half later.

| Well, it has been six months since I have graduated and here I am still living at my parents' house and still working at Hobby Lobby for minimum wage. Oh, and part time. Fantastic. I am getting so discouraged when it comes to finding a job. I graduated with all of the feelings of completion and excitement for all of the things I was going to do in the real world and, I suppose like most graduates, I am finding that every day I become more and more disheartened.
I am struggling so much knowing that there are jobs in Texas teaching theatre and that I am struggling to find a job teaching anything here in Lafayette or even in a surrounding parish. I do not want to pack up and move. I do not want to put all of my things in boxes and move into a tiny town in east Texas just so that I can find a job. I am trying so hard to just be patient and let God provide, but at what point does sitting and waiting and being patient become laziness or stubbornness? How do you know what you're supposed to do?
I just want to be in the classroom. I want to teach.

My mom is watching the Ferrah Fosset story right now.
I am thinking of Hannah. I haven't cried over her in years...and tonight I had to swallow some tears.
Things are going really well right now. I am working a lot, which is both a good and a bad thing. Making some money, but not doing much else with my life. I accepted a full time position at HLobby, which had some ups and some downs. I will not longer be working in the frame shop, which makes me sad. I was really liking custom framing and working with the frame shop ladies was finally getting to be really nice. But, I have been hoping for a full time position for a while now and will be receiving a $2.85 raise. Which is fantastic. Ha. I will be working the same amount of hours, just doing a little more (and different) work. I'm going to be in charge of Arts and Hobbies, so it's right up my alley.
Come next week or the next I plan on finishing my tattoo. Half sleeve. Eventually I will get some pictures taken of the whole thing so I can start letting people see.
My family is doing well. Luke has a week left of class and then he will officially be a senior in high school. It's really crazy.
And Robby and I are fantastic. He's fitting in with the family well...learning the ins and outs of life with the Storey family. He is amazing. We are perfect for each other.
Until next time...

I can't make you happy and make me happy.
Why should I feel guilty for choosing myself over you?
You want me to be someone I'm not...but I can't do that.
I can't fit into that box.
