Excitement!

No new progress on the wedding planning front but it has been a very exciting week for both Ben and I career wise!

Ben interviewed for and was offered a "Youth Support Specialist" position at the YMCA (that just so happens to be less than a mile from our apartment, I am SO jealous)!  Essentially he will be providing case management, partnered with Hennepin County probation, to teenagers on probation.  Not only is this exciting because he is taking a step in the direction of where he would like to be in his career BUT HE WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO WORK WEEKENDS!  Yay!  He will start at the end of July when we return from Alaska.

I was offered 8 extra hours at my current job at Anoka County.  I was worried that my other employer, Holland Center, would not be willing to work with me and rework my schedule/reduce my hours.  But I was pleasantly surprised!  Now my schedule is 8-4:30 on Mondays and Tuesdays at Holland Center and 7:30-5 Wednesdays and Thursdays and 7:30-4:30 Fridays at Anoka County.  Hopefully this means that I am slowly working my way to full time at the county!
