new year ... new adventures ... new me

To get caught up.... December was a whirlwind of emotions and decisions and pure craziness. After six weeks of unemployment, I found myself employed again! What a blessing to find a job so quickly. The new company is based in Virginia and since I want to do project management/process improvement kind of stuffs, I need to work in the office. In Virginia. I am very excited about this job because I will basically have a new job every 18 months (or so). My professional life will look like this...be assigned a process, work it, improve it, hire and train people to take over, move on. How perfect is that?

And yet, this is me....



Looking at what looks like a long road. This year of 2014 is going to include a few adventures.

Adventure #1: Start my new job with three straight weeks in VA. This time will let me get to know the office, visit some apartment complexes, meet my soon-to-be SCA group, and go to church in a ward (probably not THE ward) a couple of times.

Adventure #2: Use the limited time I have in Logan to pack up the house and get it ready to rent by the end of April.

Adventure #3: Get Kaitlyn on a mission.

Adventure #4: Fingers crossed I will spend Christmas in Germany.

I can't plan other adventures right now but I know they are coming!

This is going to be an amazing year. I can't wait to share it with you.

grateful for ... good friends and colleagues

I know it is not November but I still have so much to be grateful for. Four weeks ago tomorrow, I was let go from my job of over nine years with no warning. Just walked in to work, received my papers and left about an hour later. It was an interesting Friday to say the least. I took the weekend to process it all and hit the emails on Monday. I was talking to two different companies within 24 hours about job opportunities. That just doesn't happen! I have such great friend and colleagues who look out for me.

My future is unknown but I know I am being guided toward something amazing. Life is good.
