Glad to be home
Whew. I'm glad to be home. My work training was good, and it was nice to get to keep up with you gals a teeny bit during (the almost-non-existent) breaks, but it was exhausting and I missed my HH like crazy. 
Apparently we both put pillows behind our backs at night where the other person should be! How pathetic is that?
I'm a bit discouraged today because he got a rejection letter from the master's program he applied for. He has a good attitude about it, and I'm not devastated or anything. The thing is that he's not 100% sure that he wants to get his MSW, anyway. He's looking at some programs in counseling, but he's not sure that he wants to be in the social work/counseling field forever. But he's not sure what else he would do.
I know this is small potatoes next to all of you girls who are looking for work or whose husbands are looking for jobs. I'm just the type of person who really struggles with uncertainty. He's very, very good at what he does, but the most important thing to me is that he has a good job that makes him happy. He likes where he is right now, and it's definitely not a bad job, but he's going to need something that pays a bit better in order for us to raise a family someday. I keep trying to remind myself that where we are right now is great and that there is no deadline for the next step. I just wish that we knew what the next step was going to be. Faith is hard sometimes. Sigh.
Re: Glad to be home
Welcome back! Sorry for the rejection letter, but it could just be that the perfect opportunity is right around the corner & maybe it wouldn't have been an option of he'd been accepted!
I do the same thing w/the pillow behind my back too! LOL
