Progression... isn't it nice

So things are going pretty well for me in school so far. It seems like time is totally flying by. I can't believe that I've already been in school for almost a semester. Thank goodness I have lots of things to keep me busy. Unfortunantly being that busy is taking a toll on our marriage. The only times that I get to spend with Danae and Isaac are Wednesday nights, everyother weekend and Sundays. I wish I could spend more time with them because I miss them. I miss spending time with Danae just sitting there cuddling, holding hands or just sitting next to her. I miss watching Isaac play and laugh all the time. I don't want to be the Dad that has missed out on my childs first few years of life because all I did was work. I know that it's important, and I know I have to do it to help with the bills, but some times it really is a necessary EVIL.

Thank goodness something fell into my lap this last week. I had one of my instructors from SLCC come to the U of U and work with us this last Friday. I saw him and the supervisor of the department talking in the hall. As I was walking into a room to start and exam I heard my name, I instantly thought "This is good. Dave is talking to my supervisor about me." Later that day Alex pulled me aside and offered me a job working at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. It's only on Saturday and Sunday everyother weekend but atleast it gets my foot in the door for a better job down the line.

I promptly told him I would love to have to job and I spoke with Rika at Tanner about cutting back my hours there so I could spend more time with my family and less time at work. Unfortunantly when I talked with Rika I gave her the option of chosing the 3 days a week that I worked. I guess I didn't specify that I didn't want to work on Saturday anymore and I heard from a coworker that she still wants me to work everyother Friday/Saturday which just isn't going to work. So I hope that she can make things work there because I would hate to burn any bridges. Tanner Clinic has been a great place for me to grow and really work on my skills, but now it's time to me to go on to bigger and better things.

I am really proud of you, Sweetheart, and I honestly don't think the job at Huntsman just 'fell into your lap.' I think you work hard and are passionate about what you do, and it shows. I think you being offered the job is a reward for being so good at what you do! I hope for both of our sakes that it turns into something bigger and better down the road. GOOD JOB!

Gary, let's face it, YOU ROCK!
I'm really proud of you, and Danae is right--you work so hard, and you're reaping the rewards.
I know things will work out for you. Congratulations.
