Wishing and Hoping

And thinking, and praying.

Literally, this is what our days are full of right now. Jason is currently waiting to hear if he will get an engineering position and I’m starting the interview process for what is essentially my dream job. Everything is dependent on “if we get a job. if someone gets a job.” I’m so tired of saying those words.

Every time the phone rings we jump. Every time we get an email we jump. It’s exhausting.

My parents keep telling us to relax and enjoy the time before the rest of our lives. We’ll get jobs soon enough and we’ll wish we’d spent this time relaxing. It’s easy to say and hard to do. We have tried to accomplish some wedding related things in the meantime, and I suppose I should be wedding crafting right now instead of spending the entire day watching the Euro 2012.

I feel like we’re at the brink of our new lives, but just not quite there yet. It’s frustrating to feel like so much is not in our hands. I entered the entire process positive and hopeful, but as weeks pass it gets more difficult. Luckily we’ve done a lot of traveling this month and have more coming up–a nice distraction from the waiting.

Any advice for how I should pass this time?
