'Tis the season for change, atleast that's what people always say.
A few weeks ago I went on an interview at the University of Michigan. It was for a job that they already had a candidate for, but they had another opening in the department too, so they wanted to interview me for it. The interview went GREAT, I left there feeling confident, and two days later she called and offered me the job. I started my orientation on Monday, it's going really well, I'm excited to get into the clinics next week and really get to work.
Katie is on vacation in Florida with my parents for two weeks. I know a lot of people can't fathom the idea of being away from their kids for one night, let alone two weeks, but to me it's not really such an issue. I did it when I was a kid, and I LOVED it. Don't get me wrong, I miss Katie, a TON, but I know that she is having a great time and doing things that she might not otherwise get the chance to do, plus, with me having a new job we won't really be taking a vacation again this year, so this is her vacation before she starts school in the fall.
Dan is back to working 6's again. To put it in plain english they are working a mandatory 6th day of overtime. It's hard for me, I won't lie, I miss him, a TON, Katie does too, but the money is great, and having extra money coming in never really hurts anyone.
I'm really working on establishing some order around this house. I'll admit it, we live in a constant state of chaos, keeping house just isn't my strong point. I'm working on it though, and I'm working on Dan and Katie being a part of it. I am NOT superwoman, I can't do it all, not by myself, not all the time.
My final Wilton cake class is this week. It has been great to have a few hours of mommy time every week. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself now, but I'm going to try to find something. There is going to be another Wilton course sometime in the future, maybe until then I'll take some sewing classes or soemthing.
This summer has been an odd one for us. We've only been camping once so far, way back in April on opening weekend at our favorite campground. We are going next weekend with our friends up to there families property, I'm really looking forward to it.
Dan and I will be celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary next Thursday. It's hard to believe it's been four years already, but it's also hard to believe that it's only been 4 years. I'm certainly looking forward to what the future will bring!!!
Katie danced in her first ever ballet recital last Friday night. It was supposed to be 2 hours long. About 2.5 hours and 2/3 of the way through it the storm sirens went off and they shuffled everyone down into the schools basement until the all clear was issued, then the recital resumed. We arrived at the school at 6 that night, the recital started at 6:45, we didn't leave until 10:45. It was a long night, but the girls all did a great job. Tomorrow night is the pre-enrollment for next year, so when I get off work that is where I'll be going.
