When I first noticed in one of the many newsletters I subscribe to a little posting about helping the Wyoming State Library with an archive/index project I was so excited! I love history and I loved the idea of getting to read old Wyoming newspapers. However, I was spending a few weeks away from Cokeville with my family and didn't respond to the posting immediately. It was always in the back of my mind I kept wondering, is it really as good as it sounds?
When I got around to making the call to get more information, it all turned out to be exactly as stated in my newsletter! My mind kept saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." That thought has kept me out of a lot of trouble in my life, I stay away from anything that fits that saying. However, this opportunity wasn't a scam. It was amazing to me that there was actually pay involved and I could work from home, from my computers, on my own schedule.
Being a full time mom with four very active children, including one 3 year old at home all day, this sounded like the perfect way to make a little something extra to do something a little special for Christmas for my family. I kept thinking there would be a "catch" or this part-time job wouldn't really come true. However, the more I looked into it, the more amazed I was with the opportunity this was going to be! I have a college degree but have put work on hold while I raise my children, opting instead to spend what time I can allocate out of the home to doing volunteer work and service for Cokeville. I have felt like my children seeing me serve would be a blessing to them in their lives.
I also have a dear friend, also an at home mom, who would love to do something special for Christmas, but more importantly needed to make a mortgage payment. I decided to call her and ask if she wanted "in " with me. She was very grateful that I had thought of her and together we pursued the possibility that very soon, we might both be employed from our own homes.
In my heart I knew that there are others in Cokeville who need more than just "a little something special for Christmas". I realized that this could probably save some families from some very unfortunate circumstances. Cokeville is a town of families. Many husbands have to commute for their jobs. Some wives do. Some women make the sacrifice to work outside of the home to help with family needs. Many educated women make the sacrifice to stay in the home with their children. Although there are more circumstances than the ones I described, it was the women - the mothers - who kept entering my mind. What a blessing a job like this could be to those who really needed a way to help out with family expenses. With those moms in mind, I asked about the possibility of this job being available for more than just two or three people.
