Out of the wood work...

It's finally Friday!!! HOORAY!!! This week was a little long and a little crazy! Where should I start...

Well , I'll start with twoish weeks ago... Tim and I had been having some conversations for a while about me finding another job that didn't involve late nights, so I started looking, not putting too much effort into it in February. I applied for a few things but didn't really pay too much attention. Then on the last day of the month I received a call from one of the positions I applied for, we set an interview for Monday, March 5th. Well then murphy happened! I got a horrible stomach virus Sunday night! I was out of work Monday and Tuesday and missed my interview. It got rescheduled though for later in the week and went REALLY well. Seems like a fabulous company to work for.  The administrator said she would let me know either way if I would get the job or not by that Friday (the 9th). Well she called my boss on Thursday and my boss let me know she gave a really good report of me :) Well, lo and behold on Friday she called and offered me the position, I accepted! I got to put in my notice on Monday!

Well... on the 12th I received another phone call from the territory manager from a photography company asking for an interview on the 13th. I was REALLY excited about this so I went. It seemed like my dream job! And keep in mind this was AFTER I accept the initial job offer and put in my notice at work!

After the interview I called Tim and told him how it went - he was real excited for me, then I called my boss, who was also really excited for me.  So then it was time to make a decision... I needed help so I sent an email out to some close friends asking for prayers as to what to do. I needed help figuring out what the "right direction" was going to be. I got really positive feedback from a lot of friends and everyone was very supportive. I got a specific email from a friend that told me what she had started doing part time work - she is a stay home parent to just about three kiddos ;)

Well that brings us to Tuesday night when Tim was leaving. After Strick was in bed we had a long conversation about what would be best for me and for our family. Lots of pros and cons for each job choice, but we think we have made the right decision and we are really excited and looking forward to it. I won't reveal what it is just yet, I want to make sure everything is in order first. 

I mainly want to let everyone know that being home more is something I've wanted for a LONG time, and this was a big family decision but I am ecstatic and Tim is happy we will have a lot more family time! We already have our first Monday as a family planned!

It will be bittersweet leaving the scooter store, having been there over three years I'm probably going to cry on my last day! I've made some great friends, dealt with the best co-workers ever and have had such a BLAST with TSS. I'm sad to leave them behind! But I'm SO EXCITED for our family!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm going to catch up on some sleep! I'll update on other things later, this just needed to get put up before I forgot to post the latest family news!

Night all!
