Update on my Professional Life

So.........I GOT MY DREAM JOB!!!! Needless to say, I'm fairly excited. SAI (Saskatchewan Alternative Initiatives) called me yesterday and offered a Monday-Thursday job in which I'll be hanging out with four mentally-challenged people at different times, doing things like going for walks, swimming, helping them work out at the leisure centre, helping them at their jobs (shredding paper, that sort of thing), hanging out at the mall...so, oh my goodness, this is exactly what I wanted! The nice thing is it leaves Fridays open so I can work casual at Cosmo (which is another place that recently hired me...there, I'd be helping mentally-challenged people develop job skills for Sarcan, groundskeeping, making golf clubs, etc.) And then I can work every other weekend at Valhalla (where I'm currently working) until they find someone else to completely replace me. This means I'm still working Christmas, but I've long since come to terms with that...in fact, I think it'll be good to pull myself back from my traditions for one year, and learn to appreciate Christmas for its true meaning.
As of December 12, my professional life will be completely different. I'll miss seeing my Valhalla ladies every day, but I'm looking forward to meeting these new people I'll be working with...one of them is my cousin!
In conclusion, God's timing is always perfect. This is such an amazing gift from Him!
