I can't believe it's been more than a year since I last wrote an update on our blog. After getting a job as a receptionist at the Chewelah Community Health Center I rapidly went from the part time hours which I was hired to work, to working 40 hours per week. I repeatedly asked when I would be able to cut back, but it never managed to get worked into the schedule. There were ups and downs as there are in many jobs, however, I loved my coworkers. Working there was a great way to introduce myself into the community and become acquainted with the people here. It is fun a year later to walk into Valley Drug, Ace Hardware, or Safeway and smile and wave at people I know both from church and the community.
