After eight years of being home, I am back at work. I started last week and I am digging it.  I haven’t really gotten too deep into all that I will be doing, but I am excited about this opportunity.  I had been applying for jobs, but not really thinking that I would actually get one.  Lo and behold, I did.  I am working as an academic advisor. I am finding that not much has changed in the advising world since I stepped off to take care of my first son and then my second.  This seems to be a good time to be back to work.  Bill is retiring from the military this year after 24 years of service.  It will be a big change for all of us.  We have decided to stay here in the Land of Enchantment. We really like it here and we are in the perfect location to be close to family.  The boys are adjusting pretty well.  Billy is in a before/after school program and Baden switched to full time care at the child development center.  I feel like I am not muddling through the day.  I am finding that I get more accomplished now that I don’t have as much time.  I also think that I treasure my time with my boys more and I am finding they are feeling the same.  Nothing is better than the hugs and cuddles I get from the boys after a day at work.  I am excited for this new opportunity and all it entails.  Now it’s time to head to bed. I have a bed time now, too.

*Sorry no pictures again for a second post.  I should have had Bill take a picture of me on my first day.  🙂
