I HAVE A JOB!!!

A totally awesome God-thing just happened to me. I was sitting around waiting for a phone call from Jeanne Roy, the hiring lady at Katmai (the bear park) when about 30 minutes before the expected call, I received a call from Bruce Dansby, the hiring guy at Klondike (my first choice...I've already been rejected). Welp, he called to tell me that somebody was backing out of a position at Klondike and the job was mine! So, I have a job for this summer! Praise be to God! Not only do I no longer have to work with bears, but I'll be working with Gold Rush History on the Alaskan frontier! How cool is that? AND...Skagway (the town where Klondike is) is not super remote like Katmai...meaning I most likely have internet access and can use a telephone. Plus, Bruce was very lenient with me and I report for duty May 4...giving me some time to see my family and friends after France! AND he said I can take annual leave to come home for Alli's wedding! All things work together for the good of those who love God! I'm just so relieved that I won't be working with bears in the middle of Alaska. I just thought I'd share my joy with all of you. If you're interested, you can learn a little about Klondike Goldrush by visiting their website. www.nps.gov/klgo

Yay! That's awesome! XD Frontier history = Win. Also answers some questions in a letter I just sent off, so I guess you can ignore the moot points now when it gets there, heh. It's great to hear they're being pretty flexible about it all too; that's definitely a win-win situation.
