Today is a very special day because it is my turn to be featured on SITS!
If you don't know what SITS is, it is a network of women bloggers who support one another through comments.
I've met so many great people who have become my bloggy friends through SITS, and now I am so excited that it is my day!
So what can I tell you about myself?....
My name is Jolene and I've been married to Miguel for almost 7 years now. We have 2 kids. Elizabeth is 6 and Michael is 1.
I just graduated last month with a B.A. in English and since then I have been halfheartedly searching for a job. I say halfheartedly because although I am really trying to find a job, I am also enjoying distraction free time with my kids since I am no longer worrying about getting school work done. That, and there really aren't many jobs right now. So although I have been discouraged, I am hopeful that the right job will come along at the right time.
We are a family that loves to have fun and to laugh, all while enjoying the little things in life.
Thanks for stopping by!

congrats on your SITS day! Your blog is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a featured SITSta.
ReplyDeletewell congrats on your SITS day and on your graduation. you go girl.
ReplyDeleteI am sure God will provide for you when the time is right. in the mean time you can be with your baby's and prepare for that move.
Cheers

Hugs and Good Luck! When I finished college I taught at a woman's prison and a center for troubled children. You can ease you away from children a little at a time, build your work experience, help others and open doors for your own future.
