good news/bad news

Steve & I are trying to remain positive around here! Although we are I am starting to wonder when we are going to find jobs and why nothing has come along after 6 weeks of searching. Don't worry I've certainly had a few "what are we doing here?" moments in the past week or so. Although it's been tough, probably the toughest thing Steve & I have ever had to do together and sometimes seems unbearable, I know that everything will work out as it's supposed to. Steve has been so positive through it all, he as demonstrated amounts of faith and confidence that have helped me pull through!  

Thank goodness for husbands!

GOOD NEWS:

Steve & I went on a super fun date to Georgetown last Saturday night. It was so much fun walking the adorable streets, window shopping and just talking. It was a beautiful night and so relaxing.

Steve had 2 second interviews this week! Plus should hear from 2 jobs by Friday!

We played tennis with our new friends last night! Michael & Jessica just moved here from Provo too and we had so much fun with them. Certainly won't be replacing any Provo friends. But it's been fun to make friends here and laugh about the job search together!

We went to the WWII Memorial and walked the mall. Granted we were both so sweaty by the time we were done but it was fun. We've learned the only free activity in this city is walking. Not even parking is free ($4/hour street parking with garages around $10-12/hr), but walking is free. I think we are going to be doing a lot of walking this summer.

Our 2 year anniversary is on Sunday-

We are celebrating by going to the DC temple, Cafe Rio & the Katy Perry concert today in Maryland!

We will be in NYC all weekend with the Pierce Family!

Gas prices went down! 10 cents, but still went down.

BAD NEWS:

George Washington ended up not having a position open up for me in the Law School, or at least not yet. 
So I'm back to square one in the job search...

Steve didn't get the DSCC job, but still waiting for DCCC and APCO

(good news) we were called to be nursery teachers, (bad news) Steve wants to volunteer to teach early morning seminary to get out of the calling (and leave me in there alone!)

Steve's allergies are STILL acting up, they are so bad out here!

We are trying to keep the good news list longer than the bad news! 
Hopefully the good news list gets longer this weekend when Steve hears from other jobs!
