Yesterday I did a lot for the wedding, including creating a tentative wedding-day schedule, printing up a list of people who are helping, and writing over thirty thank-you notes for bridal shower gifts. In addition to that I printed up the final version of my resume and cover letter. My printer does not work at my house so I had to go borrow Caleb's. It was really strange to be there without him. I think that's the first time that has happened. It was fun to look around and to begin to dream a little about what this will look like as our home in a little over a month. We went to dinner with Caleb's parents, and that was really frustrating. The hot topics were bed and car purchasing. His dad is well-meaning, but overbearing. It was pretty intense and I had to leave and have a little peace in the bathroom. I fully trust in Caleb's decision-making abilities. I know that he will make wise decisions because he always takes his time to think things through. I wish his dad could see that. That is my prayer.
Today I worked both jobs before noon. Joel was 9-10, and Mary Virginia was 10:10-12. For being a care provider, I sure do some strange jobs. At Joel's I was "florist". At Mary Virginia's I am normally "grocery shopper" or "financial adviser"...today I was "ancient-silver polisher." I didn't even know that they still sold silver polish.
Petra let me pick her up so she could go around with me while I finished a long list of things today. I had to send out the thank-you cards from the wedding shower. Stamps are expensive!!
I tried to turn in my first resume today. The clinic was closed when I got there, but the owner caught me at the door and she and I talked for a bit. She said that she does not use OT Aides, but she suggested a couple of other places to apply. She also let me inside to see all of her therapy rooms. It was beautiful! She said she would totally not mind if I wanted to come and observe sometime, so I may do that and gain some experience.
I really missed Caleb today, but I'm so glad he has a job. He is doing so well there! I'm so proud of him.
I got to see him right after work because we share his car now :)
Then we had some friends over to his house for our second Star Wars movie night. I cleaned his kitchen a bit. I am SO excited to make that our home. We begin tomorrow. His mom will be meeting us there for breakfast and begin removing Grandpa Leo's things. I am SO excited!! I think I might be getting on Caleb's nerves though because I want to change things there so fast. :) I love a new start.
