So this was the end of week two at my new job!
It was kind of a fluke that this opportunity came about. Working interviews lead to offers, but I was not in love with any offices yet. I kept taking resumes and this office was the building RIGHT NEXT to Jeff's work. So I saw it alot and stopped in twice two drop off a resume, both times their doors were locked. (They were out for lunch) So the third time I was like super annoyed about my bad timing and just shoved my resume under the locked door. WHO DOES THAT!? Totally weird, but it was the last copy of my resume and I was just ready to get rid of it I guess. But the next day they called me for a working interview and offered me a full time job. After working that full day for the interview I was not sure I would love the office. I have just worked for general dentists and did not know how I would be able to handle dealing with kids all day. (I am not the most patient gal in the world)
I had been working the other days that week at an office that I was really liking, and was really considering taking the position at the orthodontist office right next to the house. Every office had their pros and cons. I just could not decide. So when it came to Friday afternoon and the pediatric office was waiting for my call by one, I reluctantly called with the intension of delaying until Monday for an answer. I said,"I know you were hoping for me to start Monday, but I do already have an obligation that day. I would..."
-"OH PERFECT!!! That is ok, I will let the doctors know and we will see you Tuesday!" and dadadadada about all the details. I was kind of relieved because I was sure I would make the wrong choice...so Heavenly Father knowing this, forced the choice for me! THANK GOODNESS!
The first week was Spring Break, busy busy, and crazy crazy. Too crazy to be shown anything or be trained, too busy to breathe and too busy to complain. But man, I was definitely thinking I made the wrong choice. I hated going to work every day. But everything was so perfect about it! Jeff and I both work the exact same schedule, right next door to each other...car pooling every morning, lunch together, no late nights working, no weekends! AMAZING! Plus all the other benefits, it just did not make sense that I wasn't loving it! But I wasn't then and did not know what I was going to do. Week two started and I was like, "OK, if this doesn't make me happy, there is no reason I need to keep working here." And it was so great! All the girls are great, the patients are great and it all the things I was worried about seemed to work themselves into some weird positives! I am so happy about my job and love working with kids all day. It is so rewarding to comfort a little one who is scared! I love it! I am so grateful for what this experience has taught me. I know that if we show Heavenly Father that we are trying our hardest to be in the right place, he will definitely make it happen for us (and probably, most likely, not in the way we thought)!
We are so grateful also for Jeff's incredible job that brought us out here! He is LOVING it! A post will be coming all about it :)
