Net Effect = Content

Well, the job search is ongoing. Apparently I misjudged the interview that I thought went so well, because the director of that organization STILL hasn't called me back as promised to set up a second interview. Even after I left a follow-up thank-you message. I'm kinda bummed on the job front. I never anticipated that finding a job down here would be so difficult. It seemed like it was very easy to find a job back in Tennessee. Go figure. I am officially lowering my standards for an acceptable job.

There are many positive things about being here, though. The most obvious of these is my super hubby. For him, I will continue to brave the hordes of love bugs currently plaguing the state of Florida. He made me breakfast today while I was still snoozing. He often surprises me with thoughtful gestures like that. I thank God for bringing him into my life. I am ecstatically happy to be married to such a wonderful man!

Another great thing is our proximity to the beach! Which we are going to exploit tomorrow after we have served up snow cones at the Watermelon Festival. I can't wait! Matt even suggested indulging my craving for maki rolls, since we'll be in Sarasota already for the beach. Tomorrow is looking like a very good day, indeed.

So basically, life in Florida is super except for my lack of a job and the heinous bugs which dwell here....These things temper my good spirits a bit. The overall net effect is one of contentment.
