Not only have we been blessed with the addition of Adelé into our home we also had some other big decisions that needed to be made. When I took my job last year I only signed a one year contract and that contract is up at the end of June. As we have prayed and put a lot of thought into what we need to do it was decided that I would continue to work and Oley would stay home and work on getting his schooling finished up - so eventually I can stay home with Adelé.
I didn't think it was going to be that hard of a decision until I actually held Adelé and knew that I would have to be leaving her everyday while I worked. That being a big factor in the next job I would accept I put my resume in at a few different places - I was extremely nervous but through my scripture study I knew that everything I had done was going to pay off. I interviewed at a couple different places and had a few different job offers.
As we prayed and fasted it was determined that I would accept the offer I was given at MultiCare (my current employer). Even though the pay was not as good as the other offers the woman I would be working for was very understanding of what it is like to have a newborn and just have finished your master's degree. Knowing how family oriented she was and how much confidence she had in me I decided I would accept the job and we would stay in our current home. It's hard going to work every day, but it does make it easier knowing that Oley is home with Adelé and she is being well cared for. I am grateful for the many offers I had, especially with the current unemployment rate and I am excited to continue to use my degree and make a difference in healthcare!
