    Thumbs up New job???

    Well, I posted here a while back that I got laid off from my last job (which I loved). That was the beginning of July and I haven't yet been able to find the right job for me. I have applied for several but none of them really felt right.

    I was talking to a good friend of mine last weekend and she mentioned that the retreat center that she worked for is looking for an office manager and/or a married couple to live on the grounds and help out where needed. (gardening, etc.) She told me to send her our resume (mine and DH's) and she would give them to her director. She (my friend) told me yesterday that the director wanted to talk to me and DH about the available positions and that we could come in this week to talk to her!!! I am so excited!! This would be such a wonderful opportunity for us. We are now debt free except for our car and student loans. If we still had a lot of debt this would not be possible. The really great thing about this job is that we would get a 2 bedroom house rent and utilities paid for as long as we were working there. We could save enough money to buy a house!!!

    We wouldn't be using any gas or wear on the car getting to work since we would live there, and we wouldn't need to buy a second car. I have a really great feeling about this position and wanted to share.
