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. ;)
