It seems like the stiching is slowly coming undone from this life of mine. Staring at a piece of paper with the words "Denver, Colorado" scribbled on it makes me picture it now: I can just see the demise of this family. Just like in the Poisonwood Bible, I can see us all going our own separate ways. Right now, my dad is unemployed and we have no money in the bank. I, for one, believe my parents are financially ignorant. I think that somehow we will manage, but it doesn't look like my dad will get another assinment until november. For the meanwhile, he's going to start looking for long-term jobs nationwide. (Until recently, he's only been considering the MI/IL/OH/IN area, but now it's coast to coast, folks.) It's not much of a worry to me: I'm sure I'll finish out my year at catholic, and next year I'll be off to college anyways. Speaking of which, I applied to Johnson & Wales University today...just for the heck of it (free app).

Well don't throw a going away part just yet ; ) ...
Denver, CO was just one place with a job listing. Looking at the same sheet of paper, I also see Chicago, Indiana, Wisconsin, and even Pennslyvania with job opportunities. But I doubt my dad will get a job at any of these locations - at least anytime soon.
