Another Opportunity

well folks, im here again to update you on the job front.  i have been working at the jewelry store for a little over two weeks.  im learning a lot about the pieces in the store and the jewelry industry as a whole.  its not extremely hard work, most of the time im standing around waiting for people to come in, or inspecting pieces, or cleaning pieces.  i get three percent commission on sales also.  so far ive sold a two hundred dollar mens wedding ring, an eight hundred dollar necklace, and a four hundred dollar watch.  that brings my commission to about fourty dollars.  not much, but it does help a little.  i will start my para job in august when school starts.  hopefully i will get my paperwork finished this week, then be ready to go for the start of the year.  as for michael, hes applied for over two hundred jobs in just the month of july.  hes been working tirelessly to find something.  it was humbling for him when he had to start applying to places like home depot and best buy, but hes still trying.  this morning he got a call from a drill bit company in ponca city, oklahoma who would like him to come down for an interview.  they are a division of slumberger who is a tough but great engineering company.  of course, i have mixed feelings about this job.  i want him to have a job, but i dont enjoy the thought of my husband living an hour and a half away for the next ten months.  however, i know many military spouses and other people who have to deal with their spouses being gone for significant amounts of time, and when you look at it that way, an hour and a half doesnt seem so bad.  anyways, please be in pray for us.  we would take anything at this point.  i will keep you updated.  much love, jen
