The Phone Call

Even before Brandon and I were official he had mentioned that I should move back to Rexburg and since all the jobs I had been hoping for in Utah hadn't panned out I decided that I would just try my luck with applying for jobs in the Rexburg and Idaho Falls area. As I headed home the next morning (Sunday) with my mom in the car I was even more determined to find a job there. In fact, some of the time that Brandon and I had spent in the park the previous day was spent talking about what jobs I could possibly do in Rexburg or Idaho Falls. He had even offered to take my resume to a few places for me. Now that we were really "official" though I felt even more determined to move closer to him because I knew long distance would be pretty hard for us.
When my mom and I arrived home we made it just in time for her to go to the family ward and for me to go to my singles ward. The only thing I remember about church that day was getting to announce in Relief Society that I had a boyfriend! (Normally I get a lot more out of it, I promise! But I was a bit "twitter pated"!)
After church was also kind of a blur besides the fact that my parents both took turns teasing me about marrying Brandon and wedding plans. I knew they were just teasing me but at the same time I knew they had never ever teased me about marrying anyone else so I was pretty sure they either really liked Brandon or saw that I REALLY liked Brandon... or maybe both. Either way it made me both excited and extremely scared all at the same time.
On Monday (the next day) I had to go back to work in the cornfield again. Out there I hardly ever kept my phone in my pack because if it ever fell out you would never find it; so naturally my cell phone was left in my lunch box and only looked at on breaks. When I returned for the morning break I realized that I had a missed call and a voicemail. As I listened to the voicemail I was completely shocked and excited. One of the counseling agencies I had applied at for a PSR (Psychosocial Rehabilitation) Specialist position a couple weeks before had called to say they wanted to interview me! I knew I didn't have time to call them back during breaks but I was really glad to know we were going to have a short work day so I could call as soon as I got off work.
When I finally got to talk to the PSR Director a few hours later he asked if I would be available to interview the next day (Tuesday). Luckily it was a slow week for the cornfield so we were only working Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so of course I said yes.
I decided it would be better to just leave that day so that I had plenty of time to get to the interview. I packed quickly and was on the road by 2pm. I called Brandon on my way down there and he actually didn't get back to me for a couple hours so I was about half way to Rexburg when I called him. He was pretty excited about the interview and that I was going to be able to see him that evening as well. We planned to meet up as soon as he finished rock climbing with his brother Jared. After the long drive to Rexburg I was a little tired, but as soon as Brandon wrapped his arms around me in a warm embrace I forgot I was tired because all I knew was that suddenly I felt at home.
