When Your Job Impacts Your Family
Abby and Eason, Not too far into my marriage, my husband decided I needed to make more money. It was a topic that we disagreed about. My heart’s desire was that we lived on one income and use the money I was making in that season to save for our children’s college, braces, cars, and […]
My 1st Office Job
Abby and Eason, I got married a few weeks after I graduated from college. My husband lived in Austin, so I needed to change jobs again. Honestly, I still didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I finished college, but I didn’t really have a vision for what “work” would look like. […]
More Than A Gym
Abby and Eason, During college, I was able to secure a job at a big gym. They taught not only gymnastics, but also offered fitness, after school camps, parties, mom and me classes, etc. The gym served an audience from birth to senior citizens. On top of what was already offered, I added a competitive […]
But, I Don’t Dance…
Abby and Eason, While I was working for the professor, I also taught gymnastics to a local competitive team. What I loved most about this job is that they would let me come in during hours that I was not teaching and do gymnastics. This was a major stress relief for me. At the onset […]
A Blind Professor
Abby and Eason, First, I am sorry that I haven’t written in a while. As you know I have been launching our recent company, and it has been incredibly time consuming. I have thought about your letters often and am sorry that I haven’t written. I want to pick up where I left off. After […]
Summer Camp Job!
Abby and Eason, The year I graduated from high school, I decided to add another job to my group of jobs. (I already had several!) A local, Christian school was looking for someone to prepare their kids for cheerleading camp. The kids practiced super early in the morning, so I could do it without disruption […]
What I Didn’t Know
Abby and Eason – There are a lot of things I wish I had known about work in high school. I didn’t know Jesus at that time, and I missed a lot of opportunities to learn about the way He created me. Let’s start with how I worked. I understood hard work. I was really […]
Summer Camp
Abby and Eason, It seems like I had a lot of jobs in high school, but it really was more that each job had downtime. I learned to make the most of the downtime. I told you about the dance studio and my Friday cheer classes. Well, there was also summer. Because school was out, […]
Friday Business
Abby and Eason, In the last letter, I told you about working at the dance studio. I didn’t tell you this, but it was closed on Fridays and Sundays. I don’t really remember when or why I decided that I needed to work on Fridays, but somehow I must have because I started my first […]
