I MISS you ALL!
Well hello Dfunk!
I was sitting around this evening feeling kinda down and "lonely"..i know i know, this is lame. haha. However, something hit me and I realized that I hadnt checked out the blog yet. I quickly signed on and was so surprised to see the posts! Reading your blogs warmed my heart! (: I am happy to hear that everyone seems to be doing well. I miss you all so very much.
I am trying to settle back here in Richmond. The 2nd week after graduation I went on a nice beach trip with my roomies. Since then I have moved into my sister's old room (its bigger and I needed a change! lol) and settled my stuff in. (so i am no longer living out of a suite case! haha). I have returned to my job at the hospital for the time being...just to make some cash. In the meantime, I have been sending out resumes left and right. I finally got an interview last week and got a call yesterday that they would like a second interview. I feel much the same as the rest of you ladies about the job world....it is cruel and very intimidating! I am finally getting a few more interviews so this is nice....but for some reason im not quite excited about them. I am really just trying to trust the Lord on this one. I know he has something out there for me, so I am waiting patiently to see where He leads!
Other than the work world, I have just been hangin out around Richmond. I am trying to rekindle some old friendships ...i feel like im in a new place all over again....freshman year or something. lol. Daniel and I are looking for a church to plug into...so please pray that God will lead us on this one...it seems overwhelming, especially with the wide variety of churches Richmond has to offer!
I miss you all dearly and want to set something up soon! I am always up for a road trip so if someone wants to get together let me know! I love you all. (:

Unexpected vacation??
Well...the details of me quitting...I was extremely nervous so I just waited until like 3:30 yesterday to tell Jennifer, the HR director. I would have told Walter, the owner, who is who I report to, but he is out of town for like 4 weeks. So anyways, I just told her that I am leaving at the beginning of July to start training to be a missionary in the DR for 2 years and my last day would be June 20 (2 weeks from Fri). She was really really surprised, but was really nice about it and kept saying she was really happy for me. She said that Walter would be in for a hour the next morning (today) if I wanted to try to catch him.
So today Walter didn't end up coming in so Jennifer talked to him and told him everything. Then at like 9:00 this morning she said she wanted to talk to me and she told me that they weren't going to accept my 2 weeks notice and that today would be my last day. It wasn't like a firing, I think that's a pretty common thing for businesses to do. But I was still pretty shocked/disapointed. She re-iterated that things were ending on good terms and that it wasn't anything to do with my performance.
So it kind of sucks, but if you think about it from their point of view, they would be paying me for 3 weeks of work where I would either not be doing much or starting things that I wouldn't be able to finish. I had almost 50 hours of vacation time saved up, so they are going to pay me for this week and part of next week. So that it really good, but we're still out over $1,000.
So though there are obvious dowsides of this situation, in a lot of ways I think this will be good. I will have more time to relax, prepare for leaving, meet with possible donors, etc. And those of you still in Harrisonburg- more time to hang out!!
So if you think about it, please pray for my heart and my ability to adjust to yet another change....

Hooray! The dfunk blog is up and running! Now I just need to remember to check it often! (This isn't like facebook they don't tell me when I get a new message haha! ) I am so excited to already be hearing about what is going on in y'alls lives! Caroline I cannot believe you only have a month....that is sooo crazy I keep forgetting that it is coming so soon! I am in the H-burg area so please please please let me know if there is anything I can help do with preparation! Whitney I am praying for you as you leave for camp soon! Leah and Jenny I am so excited for the sweet plans the Lord has in store for you...even though it may feel like an up and down adventure for now! Please take notes on this process, I will be calling you 2 next May when I actually have to be a real adult! :)
As for me, I am finally moving into my apartment in the Greens. It has been absolute chaos and a debacle to say the least, but it is all worked out now and I will be completely moved in by tomorrow! YAY! I am just studying away in good ol' Harrisonburg...oh the things you don't miss! :) And, trying to find some time to play and adventure around the area when I can!
I love you all so much and miss you already! Thanks for already being on top of this blog situation! :)
Love,
Molly
Agreed
Yay for posts! I got so excited when I opened up the blog!! Leah and Jenny (and anyone else in the same position)- my prayers are with you. Some of you probably remember that I searched for jobs for 6 months before I found something! So I know how frustrating and discouraging it can be....knowing that you are defiantely qualified for something, but no one else seems to realize it. But God definately has a plan. I won't get into the details because it would take too long, but looking back at the process I can see how perfectly the Lord had it all planned out and how it couldn't have happened any other way.
On a similar note...I'm quitting my job tomorrow. Ahh!! I can't believe that we only have one month left in the U.S. These next few weeks are going to be crazy. I don't think it's really hit me yet. We've been planning this for so long it's weird to think that's its really here. Please pray for us these next few months with so many things going on and so many transitions. And don't forget about us for the next 2 years....send us mail!!! Love you all :)
