LOVIN' IT!

So, I just completed week two of the new job and I LOVE IT! I am so thankful to the Lord for this blessing and opportunity to expand. Don't get me wrong, it's not entirely easy and I have been living miles from my comfort zone but, it's so refreshing. I love this new challenge and my goal is to exceed everyone's expectations. They have been excellent with me and so patient. I have been asking an unbelievable amount of questions. I just want to be sure that I am doing everything correctly. So, life is good and God is Good. Everything happens as a part of His plan for the good of those who love Him.

Time off Rocks!

Well it's Thursday and I have had the entire week off. Talk about much needed time! I have gotton a ton done at home and have been able to spend a ton of time at the gym which is fabulous. Things are starting to feel normal again. I still get sad from time to time, but overall things are going so well. I am so so so psyched to start this new job. I have to admit I am maybe a tad bit nervous {don't tell anyone...}. I can't wait until Monday. God is so good and I feel like my life is coming alive again just like the seasons changing. I hear the birds chirping outside and I feel it in my soul.

What's new with me

Well, I have been wanting to make a nice long entry about how things have been going but my lousy computer has had a bunch of nasty viruses making getting online very slow and difficult. Seth and I got an updated virus protector and now I am virus free and free to blog again! AMEN! So, things are going really well. I can now say without reservation that I am finally happy again. I don't cry everyday or even that often anymore. Mia's due date is coming up and I am so excited to have that day come and go. Finally I will be able to completely move on instead of thinking, I would be 38 weeks right now or I would have quit my job by now and on and on and on. Soon the other girls who I was pregnant with will have their babies and I won't have to feel awkward around them because we no longer share something so special. I am actually good with everything though. I really thought this would destroy me, but God is so much bigger than anything that life can throw at you. This new job opportunity came as a total shock. I wasn't looking to leave my current job but the new opportunity just excites me beyond what I can even express. I wish I was starting tomorrow in a way. It's like I am sad that I have a week off. It's good though because I will get the chance to get alot done around the house that I haven't been able to get done lately. Physically I am feeling so good. I weighed myself on Friday and I weighed in at 130.2 lbs. I weighed 129 when I got pregnant. So, I am only a hair off of the pre-pregnancy weight. I have completely changed my eating habits and you can't even believe the difference in how I feel. I guess there is something to that old adage "garbage in garbage out." I am going to bust my butt at the gym this week because I will have the time to do it. I fully expect to get to my goal weight by the time my family goes on vacation in May {you know, the whole bathing suit thing and extra rolls of skin don't exactly coincide}. So, surprisingly I am not in a rush to get pregnant again. I definitely want to have children, but it will comes when the Lord wants it to. We aren't preventing or trying. Last time we "tried" for a year before I got pregnant with Mia. I am not about to start calculating my ovulation and recording my temperature. Oh no...that can consume you before you even know it. I just want to throw myself into this new job and completely blow my new employer's expectations. I always seem to want to be the best at everything I do and this is no exception. You can thank my dad for that. So, yeah...we are doing well. Our marriage is strong and God is good.

Wow, changes are happening. I was offered a new job and after much much thought and prayer, I have decided to change careers. So, after more than four years at my current job, I resigned. That was a crazy gamut of emotions. It's hard to change, but when an awesome opportunity presents itself, you have to think with your head and do what is best for you and your family. So, I am leaving the scrubs behind for the suits and heels. I am so unbelievably excited to take on this new challenge. I have this coming week off and then next week I start the new job!
