I got it!!

OK, so here's my quick blog update for this week. I'll get pictures up soon, I promise.

I go the job! This past week I accepted the position of Administrative Assistant to the Director of the new Coastal Montessori Charter School that will open it's doors this fall.

25-30 people applied for the job and they interviewed 6 of those people. I, along with one other person, was called for a second interview and the next day they offered me the job, paying me what I asked and with full benefits!

The application/interview process was long and interesting but I don't think my return to the work force could be any better. I'll still be doing administrative work, which I'm good at, but without the stress and long hours that I was working before. Not to mention, my kids will attend this school in a couple of years... so I couldn't be more excited!

It is a new school so student files need to be created, classrooms need to be filled and the administrative office needs to be put together so I will start work on July 2, 2012.... and Dave will be a stay-at-home-dad. I know he will do a great job. The kids are kind of "mommy-addicted", though so they might have a tough time adjusting at first but I think it will be good for them to get more used to Daddy helping them out with more things.

So that's my update. Stay tuned for pics from visits from our various family members..... there have been a lot of them!

Oh My!

How neglected my poor little blog is..... I probably don't even have readers anymore! But, I plan to catch up slowly because, while I initially started this blog so family and friends could stay up to date with us (ha!), I also print it out by year as sort of a journal.

Anyhow...A lot has happened since April. That was two months ago! So much family has visited, so many "new house projects" completed and I've even started my own photography business. Add to that the fact that I have a job interview this afternoon (more on that later) and JD's 4th birthday party is this weekend.... it's no wonder the blog has taken a back seat.

But no more excuses! I have WAY too many pictures sitting on our server doing nothing.... I know y'all are dying to see them! I'll try my best to do one post, complete with pictures, per week.... starting next week (come on... job interview, two different sets of family in town, birthday party.... too much going on this week!)
