A Working Mom

Yes, that would be my new title!  I have always desired to eventually go back to work someday, but never thought that someday would be right now.  This is how I am sure that God is in full control of all things that happen in life.  I was always told, "You'll find your husband when you stop looking for him".  That was actually very true in my life, because I was not looking when I met Jim...in fact I was dating someone else at the time, but that's a whole other story! ;-)  I think that statement is true for work in my life as well, "You'll find a job when you stop looking".  Sounds silly, no?  When I look back at my life and all the jobs I've held, there are just a couple that I actually was "looking" for, the rest kind of just worked the details out themselves and then kind of fell into my lap!  Thanks God! :-)
To make a long story short, in the course of this past week, I inquired about a job a fellow Master's student told me about, scheduled an interview, sat in the interview for 10 minutes answering a whopping 4 questions, was offered the job on the spot, and accepted! :-D WHEW!  Really?!  Me?!  I just did that?!  The queen of anxiety...yep, I did and felt GREAT about it!
After almost 4 full years of being a stay-at-home Mom, I am re-entering the workforce and I am actually extremely excited about it!
How will I leave these two sweet faces every morning you ask??
Well, I'm sure it will be an adjustment for all for a little while, but what comforts me is knowing these same two sweet faces will be waiting for me when I get home each afternoon....and something tells me, they might just have these exact expressions on their faces!  Yep, I think I can deal with that! ;-)

On a totally unrelated note, is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen?? 

There is so much love between these two, sometimes I have a hard time believing one day they will more than likely have a wrestling match on my living room floor!
