New jobs, new homes, new lives.

Well, this week has been absolutely insane!  On January 20th (Wednesday) I applied for a full-time job with the school district's Human Resources department; by January 22nd, I had scheduled the first interview.  On January 25th I had interview number one, followed by interview number two on the 28th.  Friday morning (January 29th), at about 11:00AM I had been offered the job!  By 2:00 PM that day I had spoken to my current bosses and we had agreed that it would be my last day; by 3:15 I had told my staff and kids at work that I wouldn't be returning on Monday since I start my new job Monday morning... Understand the insane part now?!  My life changed in a big way in a matter of a week...really, a day!  My head is still spinning! 

This same week, a good friend of mine found out she passed her boards and is now a Registered Nurse!  She has her first day of work on Monday, too.  We both married our high school sweethearts (from the SAME high school) and now we get to start a new chapter of our lives on the same day! Congratulations Jessica!  I'm really happy for you!

Scott had to move out of his office this past week.  Don't worry - he didn't lose his job (thank goodness).  His office is starting this thing they refer to as "hotel cubicles"; basically, if they end up working in the office they will pick a random cube.  Otherwise, looks like he's working from home more often than not.  Maybe he'll be making dinner more now...hmmm...  Since all this had been going on, Scott was working from home on Friday and was able to wrap things up by 4:00 with work.  He wanted to get out of the apartment so he went to see the house.  Turns out, we have foundation!  With the rain that started Thursday and freezing weather that hit Thursday night, I guess they wanted to get it poured.  Now the rest of the house should come together - finally.  I feel like it took forever to get to this point.

On a parting note, I want to wish the Segner family a safe and easy arrival of their daughter on Monday.  My friend of 14 (almost 15) years is being induced on Monday morning.  It is their first child (of many, I'm sure) and they have been anxiously awaiting her arrival, while we anxiously await to find out her NAME!  Can't wait to see pictures and hear all about her.  Congratulations, Ashley and Jack!
