Internship

Photo of the day! The moment right after we moved our tassels. One of my best friends in school, Ashley, and I were so excited! She was crying. We were 9 and 10 in our graduating class and got to sit on the front row. This picture was in the paper the next day! :)

So I've had a couple interviews about internships lately. Since I'm taking the summer off from classes I want to get an internship to keep my busy so that i'm not sitting on my butt for 4 months. The first lady I talked to has a show room in the suburbs and I liked her, but there is no way for me to get there and if i did have a way it would take about an hour to get there. So I turned her down. On Thursday I met with the showroom manager of Valcucine. It is an Italian company that specializes in residential kitchen design. They're products are really great. They are a sustainable company which I like, and their designs are beautiful. They work with designers and the general public. I would be able to go with them when they give presentations to firms and I would get a lot of experience. My friend who works at the Merchandise Mart sent out my resume to a bunch of showrooms too which I am mighty grateful for and I've gotten at least 5 e-mails from them, but so far I'm leaning toward Valcucine the most. It is a smaller showroom and I would be doing the same things that the other employees do. So the downside about all of these is that they aren't paid, but I'll be happy for the experience. Hopefully the economy will pick up some more and maybe i'll get a pay after 6 months or so.

Codi and I went on a walk down to the lake this morning. It was such a sunny and slightly warmer day. There is still snow all over, but we can tell that spring is on its way. While we were down by the water we just laid down on the cement and listened to the water. It was so peaceful. Thinking about God and his wonderful creation. The seasons are a fascinating thing to me, I don't know about you. : ) Just the thought of God being in everything and everywhere is so great! He is in the wind brushing against our cheeks! I'm exploring new things and rediscovering Him all the time. He is always with me even when I'm feeling my loneliest! He is my Father who loves me. I just need to remind myself of all these things all the time. He will not forsake me :)

Thank you for your love oh God!
