| Dan and I have had a lot of changes in our lives lately. We got married and had a baby. We moved. Dan has changed jobs twice. That alone is enough change for a while. But another one is right around the corner for us. I am going to move stores. I will be doing the same job that I am now, just at a different store. I get to help open the store. It is brand new. I am pretty excited about it. It is a very good move for me career wise. In my head I know that it is the right thing to do, but there is a part of me that is very sad about the whole move.
I have worked at the same place for over 3 years now and the people that I work with have become more than just co-workers and friends even. Theese people have become my family. I know that it sounds silly, but they truly have. They were the people that were there for me unconditionally when my life got crazy. They have been the people that stood by me no matter what and helped me through. I know that I will still talk to them, but I won't get to see them every day. I won't get to know what they are going through in their daily lives. I know that is just how life goes. I will meet plenty more people that I will grow to love, but right now I am just very sad about leaving them. | | |
| Today is Dan's first day on the job. He had orientation yesterday. There he found out that he would be working 2nd shift and he starts today. That means that he goes into work about 3pm and comes home around midnight. It will make for a lot of long evenings for me. It will definately be worth it though.
I love this picture. Dan and I like to give Sierra "sandwich kisses." Her cheeks are so pudgy that they smush and it is so cute!

| There has been a lot of exciting stuff going on in our lives lately. Dan got a new job. He will be working in the factory at American Axle & Manufacturing. It isn't the most glamorous job in the world, but is gauranteed hours and good money. It will be a definate blessing for our family. He starts on Wednesday! I can't believe it! We aren't sure what shift he will be working, but it will definately be 2nd or 3rd, so we know that we won't be seeing much of each other. That is ok because it will make things a whole lot easier for us money-wise.
Sierra is getting so incredibly big! She is doing all kinds of things that she couldn't do before! All in all, life is good!

| "Life is a linear journey. You have to decide what yours is going to be about." ~ Dave Chapelle
Watching T.V. yesterday, I found inspiration in a very unexpeted place. The comedian Dave Chapelle said something that really made me think. It was one of those "2x4 moments" as someone that I know calls them. A moment in life when someone unexpectedly says or does something that just hits you like a 2x4.
What do I want my life be be about? I have been faced with a lot of choices lately that could definately alter the course of my life in no small way. I have really been wrestling with myself trying to find the answers and make the right decision for myself and for my family. I have struggled with knowing what is best. But when I heard Dave Chapelle say that yesterday, it all made sense. I have to decide what exactly I want my life to be about and then make decisions based on that.
I know that this isn't a hugely profound concept. But yesteray, for some reason, that really hit me. That is the answer to the questions that I have been asking myself lately. I guess I just needed to readjust my inner compass. I feel much more at peace and it is a good feeling.
