Classy, Sassy, and Jobless

So I've been reading my friend Sarah's blog for months now and often considered starting one...so here I am.  I've also considered posting my resume on here since NO ONE WILL HIRE ME!!!  That's right people...I have two Bachelor's degrees, experience in a pediatric ER, a ton of volunteer hours, and no job.  I moved to Denver on October 1st with the help of my wonderful parents, settled into my apartment, and started the job search.  To date, I have applied for over 50 jobs and have pretty much been told "You are no longer being considered for this position due to lack of experience".  I'm sorry...what was I doing the last 15 months of my life?  That's right...gaining experience while in nursing school.  No hospital seems to agree with that though.  I've applied online, made phone calls, and visited Human Resources at a few hospitals.  Still...nothing.  I'm so thankful for my parents, who see my efforts and who are able to help me until I can find a job.

For the past 25 days (other than the job searching), I have had the opportunity to do a few fun things and meet some pretty amazing people.  Yesterday, you could find me at Invesco Field stalking...I mean, supporting...Tim Tebow and the Broncos.

I went to the game with Jordan's fiance/my favorite sister, Emily, and her awesome parents.  We had a great time even though the Broncos didn't show up.  AND it was my mama's birthday, so Emily's mom, Debbie, had the great idea of making signs to tell her Happy Birthday!

So what else have I been doing since obviously not working?  Watching Aggie football of course. 

 This is my sweet nephew, Jackson.  He loves Aggie football! 

I have also been doing a lot of running since I moved.  How could I not, when the weather is absolutely perfect?  This was taken at Red Rocks when I ran Run the Rocks 5K to help raise money for the American Lung Association.  I ran it with Emily and her co-workers from National Jewish.  It was so much fun (excluding the last mile which was straight uphill).  My lungs were burning to say the least...but I guess I was in the right place and with the right people if I had collapsed.  I've also been doing a lot of running at Washington Park ("Wash Park" as I was told by Jordan and Emily..."No one calls it Washington Park") and along the Cherry Creek Trail that runs through downtown.  It's absolutely beautiful here!  More stories to come!
