Dorris Ranch











We went to Dorris Ranch, a filbert (hazelnut) orchard and forest beside the McKenzie River. We had a blast exploring and running thru the orchards, throwing rocks in the river. A bit chilly, but lovely. Here are pics to enjoy (the extra kid is one of izsak's best friends, gabe).

EMPLOYMENT!

After four months of searching, I have finally found employment. My official title is "sales coordinator". Initially I shall just be assisting the main sales position with coordination of all the various information between clients and agencies. There is a lot I shall be learning and am totally looking forward to having something to think about and organize. It's sad. But I do so love to organize! :) Granted, God has blessed me with a borderline nepotism job. My very good friend Heather's husband (he's my friend too) Chad co-owns the business. The position became available and they thought of me. It was indeed a weird, blessed week! Last week I had my first real interview after months of nothing with the school district here for a temp job. That afternoon I get a call saying from a doctor's office asking if I'd come in on Monday for an interview. I went. Monday afternoon I get a call from a collection agency about an entry level legal aid position. Yesterday (Tues) I return the call but no response. But then yesterday afternoon my friend Heather calls and tells me of the position at Chad's work. I contact Chad, he gets back to me and the interview was today at noon. By 8pm Chad emails and I'm hired! I prayed God would only have the job I was meant to have be the one offered so it was plainly obvious where he wanted me to be. It's a very flexible and incredibly fun place to work (I've already heard the awesome things Chad and his partner Jeff have done for their employees and been so envious). I am truly super excited for this new chapter!
