Coping with Job Loss

When my girlfriend and I first got together, I was at the tail end of rehabbing form shoulder surgery. She asked me to move in with her, and I was reluctant based on the uncertainty of employment. My old position was obsolete, and the new position I was to receive, was made impossible for me to achieve. I have submitted almost 250 resume's to date, and put every dime of my unemployment into the house. Is there something more I can do, to give my GF a greater sense of security, and sincerity that I am making every effort to become gainfully employed in the most expeditious manner possible. I have done some remodeling jobs on the side, remembering to put every nickel in the house. I have earned  two engineering certifications while having this time, and should have a third within another month.  She is by far the best thing to ever happen to me, and I believe in doing my best to keep doubt as a non- factor. If theres more I can do I am all ears. Thank you for your time and advice, if i forget to say it later........
