New Job

I started a new job this week. I'm working at Prodigy Promos. Let me tell you the story.

I got a phone call about a month ago from Jason (my new boss), and he asked me to come work for him. Well, in all honesty he had called me originally about a year and a half ago and asked if I'd be interested in coming over to work for him then. I was not interested at the time, but I was duly flattered and thanked him for thinking of me.

Well, this time he called and offered me a position with more potential. We met for lunch, him and the VP and I and we hashed out potential details. I was so torn: I hadn't even been looking for another job. But the money was better, and the potential for growth definitely there.

It was really difficult to make the decision. I agonized over it. I love my coworkers at AMP, I loved my job. But most of what was holding me back was fear of taking a leap. I prayed and prayed, but the funny thing is as soon as I would finish my prayer I would think Prodigy every time. But then I would say a p.s.  prayer saying 'Hey, was that You answering? Or is that just me? Help discerning is appreciated. Love You.' but the fear was still holding me back.

I don't have a reason why this was the right answer (except the obvious increase in salary and hopefully room for growth) yet. But I feel so good about it. Once I spoke with my boss(es) at AMP it has all been great. I was so worried that everyone there would be mad, but they weren't. They were sad but so supportive. I had underestimated my coworkers entirely.

So I started on Tuesday. It's not that the work is exciting yet or anything, there is just a good vibe and I'm excited to know what I'm talking about. I'm excited to help them in their growth to get organized.

The Moral of the Story is, just go for it! I was so afraid of choosing something new, and so afraid to tell my bosses, and then to start. But it all was fine and I am so ready to be challenged and to grow.

I had a baby.

It's a boy. I actually came to blogger to write about something else, but then I realized I haven't announced that I did, in fact, birth my child, and he did, in fact, make it here, which I'm not making light of. It is a fact I repeat to myself often. He is here, we made it. I am his mother and Eric is his father. He is a person and he learns every day. While it is easy to see him for what he is most right now, which is CUTE , he is also mellow and funny and happy, observant and sometimes timid, and sometimes noisy, aware and eager to grow. It is an amazingly wonderful and spiritual thing and I'm grateful every day for my son and the opportunity to raise him each day. I have had too many close to home tragedies recently to take this for granted. My dear neighbor and friend lost her son at 4 years old, an unexplainable accident that took him home to Heavenly Father. Another, my sister's closest friend, lost her son at 39 weeks pregnant, his body born to his famil...

Pictures from the Cruise

To accompany the last post. And Eric is the best for sending me the pics! Because they are great. It's just from the zip lining in Ensenada but it was so fun. Just off the ship in Ensenada. The whole group. Love being a part of this family! Getting geared up. Literally.  Don't be fooled. I was petrified at this point. This is Dave and Katie but it's the best showing of the first bridge. Eric about to cross the first bridge. I think this was the 3rd one. This was the easiest, I thought. Even though I look a little off balanced here. This is Katie. But this one was actually the hardest I thought, because you had to reach so high. My shoulder killed for like 4 days after this. Oh, and how about an actual zip line?! Doesn't look fast, but it was. It shows the distance really well, though. Eric had had enough and decided to take over the mic for the duration of the "tour"

Just a little curious

 Does anyone else go back and read their own blog? Of course you do. It's a journal format. But I wonder if anyone goes and reads anyone else's blog still. I still read my parents' blogs, but even those have been several months. I haven't looked at my sisters' blogs in years, I don't know if I can remember the urls.  I logged in just to see if I could still get access so I'm leaving a little note to the world. It is so strange how the world changes. Personal blogs felt so permanent, but they weren't. They faded, and while it's still here, maybe no one else will ever read this again. Maybe an anthropologist digging through digital history trying to discover what the ancient world was... but doesn't it feel like all of this will be gone? And they'll be trying to learn more through my hairbrush and stanley cup?  But who am I to predict what will last and what will disappear?
