The last couple of years I have had a desire to work outside of the house but didn't know if I could find that perfect job. You know, the kind of job that I could pick my own hours, leave if there was a kid conflict and still pay me a decent wage. Finally, I found that place and God's timing was perfect.
Back in the day (before kids, in fact before Chris) I had a dream to become a physical therapist. Through a long string of events I did not see that dream come to fruition but I would like to think I ended up with something better. Post college I worked at Knortz-Snyder PT in Lincoln as a PT tech. For the most part I really liked it. Fast forward 20 years and I am back at another physical therapy office. Knowing what I know now, it's a much better treatment office than KSPT. I'm not a tech anymore but I work in billing, insurance and payments. The hours are perfect for our family and I get to spend a few hours every week in the PT world with some really great people.
My journey to a job began with an injury, ok several injuries. Three years ago Reagan was suffering from Achilles tendinitis. During my brief stint with PT I learned how important it is to use specialist so I tracked down the best sports physical therapist in Omaha. Drs Mark and Claire Rathjen had just opened their own PT practice and we jumped in. I was so impressed with the way Claire talked to, responded to and treated Reagan. At that point I knew if we needed a PT in the future CORE Physical Therapy would be our first stop. Three surgeries later I am now working for Claire and Mark. They are smart, funny, hard working, personable, sarcastic, generous, cat lovers and sometimes a little temperamental. I love this office!

This is where I work!
I am proud of my work and what I bring to the office both professionally and personally.
...
I am thrilled to have bosses who appreciate me, truly a first for me.
...
I enjoy having a little extra money every couple of weeks.
...
I don't know what this job will look like for me in a year. They constantly say I should work more hours but for 15+/- hours a week fits our family. So for now we are listening to God, praying that I am in a place that honors Him and serves my family well.
SIDE NOTE: Holy Cow, it's June!
Happy Summer Y'all!
