New beginnings

Well, it's official...I got a new job! I received an offer for an executive assistant position at a financial firm in Overland Park. It feels really good to know that when I finish working for the Benjamins in 3 weeks, I will start a new job the following week. The anxiety has definitely lifted. Thank you for all the prayers.

I have really enjoyed being a nanny. It has provided well for us as we continue our quest to become debt free. But I do think it is time to move on, so that George and I can focus on our own lives, and hopefully our own little family too!

As for the house, we got the keys this morning! At present, George is really enjoying opening and closing the garage door with the opener. He looks like a kid at Christmas...big grin, just reveling in the joy of having our own space. Meanwhile, I am figuring out where to put all the furniture, with a big grin of my own...imagining the possibilities and planning away. George is hoping to get the fence put in this week, and then our dog trainer will come over to help us so that we don't inadvertently traumatize Vera! I can't wait until she can run around in the yard.

Its funny...I've felt for so long that we have been in limbo, waiting to begin our lives, and here we are! Piper asked me yesterday, with an innocence only a 3 yr. old can possess, "Emmy, what do you wish for?" I honestly could not think of a thing.

Although, Piper did say that she would share her 4 fish and 3 mermaids with me, which is of course, what she wishes for. ;)

We're moving! And other various and sundry items.

Hello all!

I think we are finally going to be utilizing our blog more frequently as things are certainly changing quickly here.

Probably most exciting...we are moving into a house! yay! I cannot express what a joy it will be to sit in a backyard in the afternoon, park a car in our garage, and mow our lawn! It will also be exciting for our newest addition, our dog, Vera. Running is, of course, one of her favorite things to do, so having a yard all to herself for just such a pastime will hopefully be very enjoyable in her doggie world.

I am also in the process of searching for a new job, and had a very positive interview on Friday. So keep me in your prayers. It would be great to have a new job all sewn up a month ahead of schedule! I should find out this week...

George is still with Brinks, and they are coming up on their busy time in the summer. But we are both beginning to think about giving lessons. Since we'll be in a house, that will be monumentally easier. I may teach voice and beginning piano, while George is considering teaching guitar and percussion...although that may require some soundproofing!!! :)

That's all for now, but stay tuned! Much love to all!
