And the lingering disappointment from getting turned down.
And the relief of finding that perfect summer internship.
Can it really be that time already? I have learned so much about myself from this whole business school process. One of these days I will write it all down, how we decided to come, why we knew we should even though to most people, more schooling seems ludicrous, pointless, and maybe even overkill. But that is an entire story in itself. So for now, I will just say this. . .
Recruiting is hard, and I am not even the one doing it. It is work to try and figure out where we are supposed to be going, which jobs to apply for, which company will give him the best experience, best pay, best lifestyle for our family, etc. Ultimately, what we really are asking is, where does Heavenly Father want us to go? Where does He think will be the best for our family? Which job does He want John to do? I often tell John when he is stressing about jobs "It is all going according to plan." Not our plan, no. But His plan. And His plan has ALWAYS worked out better for us in the long run, every single time, even though it has NEVER been the easiest route to take.
So for now John will just keep filling out those applications, turning in those resumes, fraternizing at dinners, and knocking out interviews. And I am sure someday we will look back with perfect clarity and understanding.
In the meantime. . . this is Yummers, helping me make homemade noodles for chicken noodle soup yesterday.
And, Nathan went on his very first school field trip today. They went to the Grove, which is kind of a forest preserve/learning center. What he was most excited for:
1. Riding the bus
2. Doritos and a Caprisun in his lunch bag.
