I just wanted to rant and rave about the economy. I never thought our family would be effected by it until now. Kevin has been graduated from Wyotec since December and also has his associates with Dixie State. Kevin has been actively looking and applying for jobs since before he graduated from Wyotech and five months later he is still jobless. We honestly didn't think finding a job would be this hard. Ill admit he is no Doctor or Lawyer, but he is very smart and good at what he does. Not to mention graduating with a 4.0 average. I just don't get it, how can we be jobless...STILL!! He has even applied at Wal-Mart! WTH! Not even a call from the lowest paid employers...I have decided its not him...its the economy. After much thinking and research, I have come to the realization that it is his inexperience combined with lack of jobs. Employers out there are taking the EXPERIENCED mechanics and paying them what they would pay an En experienced mechanic, and with the job market so crappy these EXPERIENCED mechanics are taking the jobs. I don't blame them...a jobs a job.
Sometimes I wonder if we made a mistake by coming back to Logandale, or would things suck this much elsewhere?? Kevin has recently expanded his job search to other states and we are willing to go anywhere as long as we can take care of our family.
I feel like such a loser. We depend on his mom for help, and I feel like a little child. I am grateful for her help and understanding our situation. I really don't know where we would be if it were not for Yvonne and all of the moral support from the rest of our extended family. I really don't know what else to do except keep praying, applying and encouraging Kevin. I know he feels like a failure because he cant support his family right now, but he's not. I see him trying everyday. Some how he manages to keep himself together. No meltdowns, or giving up. My husband is a strong man and I feel so blessed to have him. I really could not have asked for a better father to my children. I love watching him play with the girls and read books to them. I tell him over and over that its not how much money you make that makes you a great father, its the time you spend with your children and the love you give them that makes you such an awesome father.
For now the job search continues and we will keep praying and hoping something comes up. For me, I will keep trying to have faith and to support Kevin. Fingers crossed..xxxxx
