What to Do, What to Do?

Posted by Liz Peterson on September 29, 2008

So, for the past few months I have been in a holding pattern waiting for my “dream job.”  What is it?  You may ask, but I cannot tell!  The thing is, I am at a crossroads about what to do right now.

Up until the end of August I was working at Pottery Barn.  Well, if you call 5 hours/week “working.”  It wasn’t worth it for me to stay employed there, even though I loved it, because of the price of gas and the fact that I live so far from the store.  I have not been seeking new employment because any changes I make will delay me getting my “dream job.”

It hasn’t been too bad being a house wife and I have been keeping myself occupied doing some housework, going to a Thursday morning bible study with some wonderful women from church, reading, etc.  But, at times I do get bored.

I am currently trying to decide whether or not to find a part-time or full-time job while I am waiting for my “dream job.”  The thing is, I don’t want to get just any old job.  I would really like something in the field of criminal justice (which is what my degree is in).  I have also thought about working on getting a teacher certification to become a teacher and do some substitute teaching in the meantime, but I am not sure if that’s really what I am called to do.

Just keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I try to figure things out (with God’s help, of course)!

Confession #3

Posted by Liz Peterson on September 6, 2008

Today Kyle and I are headed to our 6th wedding since June 2008 started.  We went to 3 in June, 1 in July, 1 in August, and now 1 in September.  This brings me to my confession…

Confession #3:

I don’t know how I feel about attending weddings as a guest.  I enjoy being a bridesmaid because I get to spend time with my close friend and help things come together.  Sometimes I feel awkward being a guest, almost unsure of what I am supposed to do!  As a bridesmaid I know what my duties are and I like doing them.  I enjoy staying for the entire wedding because it’s my close friend and I want to be there for them.  I like to get out on the dance floor and spend time with the bride and other bridesmaids.  As a guest, sometimes I feel like just sitting down or leaving early because I don’t feel like a part of the festivities as much.  Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy the ceremony and seeing two people in love share their joy, but sometimes the reception isn’t as fun!
