Time

Full weekend.  Friday after class worked on the concrete canoe.  Saturday morning went to the school to work on the steel bridge.  Helped move my husband's cousin.  Birthday party too.  Somehow I still find time to do homework, work, and spend time with my husband and family.  I am very excited to visit my family in two weeks.  I don't get to visit them much so it is really nice.

I am excited to get the canoe going and maybe this summer I can make more concrete flowers and maybe some steel ones too.  I do not have a green thumb but I can make ones that will not need to be watered.

There is a lot to do with school and work.  We are so busy at the shop!  Tomorrow will be a good day.  Sleep well everyone.

The Career I Chose

    The early morning train ride (5:45) to Salt Lake City helps to give me time to ponder my life and the path that I have chosen.  This may be the same route I take to work someday; same times, same general area.

    I do hope that I am able to work closer to home.  I am actually going to apply to one particular place I have known about and had my eye on for years in about a week.  No job posting yet, but I am hoping that sending information in will give me a leg up.  Is it better to do this than wait and see what is available though?  If I end up just doing photocopying and lunch runs for the company at first that would be okay too.

    It can be so nerve wracking.  Every job I have applied for but one, I have gotten.  But they have never been exactly in engineering; Sales, construction, service.  Now it is harder.  I'm not in high school anymore.  It's not just a job anymore it's my career.  My hopes are high and I hope that I will find what I am looking for.

Veterans

So instead of going to work on the steel bridge yesterday, our band played a benefit show in Spanish fork at like 2.  It was for the veterans and ended up going in the Daily Herald.  It felt so good to give veterans a day of entertainment and a couple of them stood up to dance.  A group came from a care home so for them to be out and taken care of was so nice to see.  One man, Ken, that had danced came up to us with his walker just so excited and happy about getting to hear some live music.  Rockabilly style.  I gave him a big hug and he gave me a kiss on the head.  I would say it was worth it to play for sure.  He also told me about someone that had offered him opera singing lessons and he wishes he had done it.  

Music brings people together.  I love it.

On another note, a man, Scott Wilson I believe, called my husband about an ordaining and ironically he works at Horrocks, which is where I have wanted to work.

Also, I spent the rest of Saturday helping wire a 58? Ford.

This was a good weekend.
