Next chapter in my life...

This has been quite a couple weeks for me and my family as well. I have started my new position with the firm, and am loving getting up every day. Life has so many changes coming my way, but I love them. I am so challenged by the work, and feel like I am in the right place for the first time in a long time. I have longed for that connection and have set it aside for my children. They have needed me at home, and I wanted to give them the best possible start in life. I was very blessed to have that opportunity, and will never regret doing so. I miss my Jo the most, since she and I had the least time together and she is still so young. She absolutely loves preschool, so that makes it easier. Her teacher tells me every day how bright she is, and I can see wonderful changes in her from all the socialization she is getting. She will be three in a few weeks, and she can already spell a few words, so I know she is ready for further development.

My position is fantastic. I am a litigation assistant, so each day consists of new things to do. I love that! It is never the same, and offers so much information in my field of study. Perfect! The firm also has a amazing attitude toward employees and their health, so today was health education day which included everything from cholesterol screenings to chair massages. I had it all...and wanted more!! The massage was my favorite (shocker), but all of it was great. =)

The hardest part of it all has been keeping up with laundry and school work. I am doing ok, but come exam time it will definitely be challenging. There is no way I will give up the educaton, but I sure hope I adjust to the time restraint well. There isn't enough of me to go around some days! Whew!

Speaking of time restraints...I am off to bed. Life is good, and I need some sleep so I can enjoy it tomorrow. Thanks for listening to me ramble.

The next step...

SCORE! I went on that big interview I mentioned last blog, and I actually got a great position! Hooray! The law firm is downtown St Louis, and although I only interviewed for a part time position, they offered me a full time position and internship! Hooray! I am pretty nervous about going full time right away instead of a gradual process into daycare for the girls, but there is no way I could turn down an opportunity like this. My husband and kids are being really supportive, and I can only hope that contiues when I am gone all the time and studying a lot when home! I have always stayed home with the girls, and my husband knows how easy he has it around here (says it all the time)...so he is a bit worried too. He sees laundry in his future and hates it! heehee I see the Cardinal Stadium a couple blocks away and season tickets I rarely get to use...getting used!!!!!

Now...off to shop for new suits and work clothes. Love it!
