For Sanity's Sake- I Am Back!

   Has it really been 5 months, almost 6, since I have sat & blogged? Sigh....it has. While I have indeed kept up with all of you (I find that I log in to read your blogs more than I log on to Facebook or even my personal e-mail & you have been my respite on busy days) I have faded away from the blogging world. Ladies, Life has been busy..busy is good. And I do take busy as a Blessing. But I miss This.

   So let me fill you in! Yes, as some of you know, I Finally got a job. (Cue the angels singing please). I was so very blessed to have a wonderful friend step in on my behalf and place herself in front of my prospective employers and say...well, I don't know exactly What she said, but they hired me. (11 months of job-searching thank you Dear Friend!) And I love the job. Professionally, it was a huge leap for me- I am not trained in this field (law), it has been a learning experience for sure. Thank goodness I like to learn! Personally, it has been an experience. I have found myself asking God for much guidance. It is all a learning experience and I have learned more about myself than I ever anticipated.  But I love the job and am super excited to get to begin something with it that is more related to my business background and my love of real estate. And can I mention- I Love, Love, Love having an excuse to buy wear cute shoes! (although my hubby does not seem to think that Wellies really qualify as work shoes....I am working on finding a way to show to him that indeed they do!)

   Of course the Job means less time from home...way less time from home...which makes me sad. I have managed work my hours so that I am home in time to cook dinner every night (this is a Big Thing for Me & our family) but...the creative side of me is suffering. I went months without really taking pictures. My sweet hubby noticed this and surprised me with a new camera, which I hate to say, I have used twice. But I love the gesture- what a man!

   My Famile: the Hubby, Man-Cubs & fur-babies all remain well..they are healthy & happy and I could not ask for more! We are less than 2 months from our oldest son's highschool graduation, a thought which honestly as I type the words kid of makes my heart feel heavy. I have attempted once to shop for a dress for me to wear to his graduation and I left Macy's in tears. I may be a wound a little tight....ya think? Man Cub 2 is itching for that driver's permit- I am reluctant, I have seen him on a riding mower. It wasn't pretty.

  So, there is the update. And now, the Plan..I have realized that for my sanity's sake, I need to cook, I need to snap pictures and I need to write...and as I fastly approach Thirty Eight (gulp) I need to start making me a priority...so you will see me around again ;)

(Speaking of pictures........

.....you know I can't Not post atleast 1 picture! This was taken on St. Patrick's Day in Savanna, Ga. An absolutely gorgeous day, and an absolutely fantastic place to celebrate St. Patrick. Enjoy!)
