My Oregon Trail

So, A lot has been happening in my life over the past month. Things at Little Giant were not going well. I'd had to transfer over to help with Human Resources in Payroll. The HR manager and I did NOT work well together. I was miserable every day at work, which was not normal. When I was assisting Doug full time I loved going to work. Some days, work was the only thing keeping me sane. Doug's position changed, thus, potentially leaving me without a job. Luckily (or unluckily) there was a need for someone to assist with Payroll, and I fit the bill. But it really wasn't working out. I dreaded going to work every day. We all know that is never a good feeling. So one day, I couldn't take it anymore and had a nearly total break down. I was depressed and feeling at the end of my rope. So I decided I was going to start looking for another job. And, being the courteous employee that I am, (not to mention I was slightly forced into letting it out), I let the HR manager know that I was starting to look for a new position. I went to the temple before I made the decision and felt very calm and peaceful about the decision. After that, the HR manager decided that was code for me giving notice, and 2 weeks later I found myself out of a job. I was fortunate to be able to work a temp job only 2 days after being let go. I had been interviewing prior to being let go, and I ended up interviewing for about 10 different jobs and all of them were rejections. I didn't make any sense to me. I have a great resume and great references, not to mention a great work ethic. I was fighting feelings of discouragement and rejection. I was trying hard to stay positive and remember that it takes some time to find the right job, etc. My temp job was more than I would be able to handle long term. It was MIND numbing! So a couple of days ago my Mom (who has been amazingly supportive through all of this) told me of an opening at the company my Dad works for. Dad works for Umbrella Properties. The owner also owns a ski resort and campgrounds. That company is called Hoodoo. The opening was for an Administrative Assistant for Hoodoo. I sent my resume over and got in contact with the HR manager. He called me yesterday and asked if I was serious about taking the position, because it would require me to move back to Oregon. I told him I was serious about the position. He just needed to speak with one other person and would call me back. He called me back today and offered me the position. So, I am moving back home to Oregon on April 8th. That's only in a week. I'm so glad. I have been wanting to just go home for at least 6 months. Everything happens for a reason. Heavenly Father has taken very good care of me. He always has and he always will. I am so grateful for His guidance and love. I am so excited to go home and start a new phase of my life.
