Job Search

Searching for a new job is not the most fun thing in the world. Like many people, I wish I were independently wealthy and could travel the world doing good for others. It is time to review my resume and see what is out there. I love to cook so if I could find a job that had to do with that, I think I would be pretty happy.

Where do I look? Chicago?? Indiana?? Colorado?? Where will this search take me/us? Adam and I have spent nearly 4 years living two lives that mingle. His job is still in Indiana and our home is in Chicago. It is time for us to seize the day and determine where we are going to go.

What do you think I should do?

It's Been A Long Time

Oh my.....it has been a very long time since I have updated this little blog. So much has happened since June 5th, 2010.

Here is a little catch up:
-I am now an aunt!!!!! My brother and sister in law shared the wonderful news shorty before Christmas 2010. Claire Jo was born on June 28th, 2010. She is the most beautiful little baby! I love her to pieces and spoil her as much as I can.
-Our dear cat Charlie became very ill shortly after Christmas 2010. We tried very hard for nearly two months to figure out what was wrong and find a solution to his lack of appetite and fatigue. On March 19 we made the very hard decision to put him out of his misery. It was the most difficult decision Adam and I have ever made, but we did it out of love for our furry baby.
-Five days after saying goodbye to Charlie, we boarded a plane to Costa Rica for a much anticipated family vacation with Adam's parents, brother and his girlfriend. We had an incredible time and there are many stories to share.
-A few weeks after returning from Costa Rica, Adam and I realized how quiet our house was and decided it was time to bring in some new family members. We went back to Feline's, which is where we got Charlie, and we met Chessie and Darla. We brought them home with us and they became Henry and Maggie. They are brother and sister and have brought much noise and excitement into our home.
-In September I decided to take chance on a new company and I left Build-A-Bear to work with start up kids company as the Hospitality Manager.
-Adam and I enjoyed Christmas with my family. Claire loved eating all the bows that came on her presents and it was nice spending a quiet day with my family.
-The New Year comes lots of new experiences. I left my job last week because I could no longer work at a place that made me so unhappy. It was a huge decision, but it was the right decision. I am now looking for what is next. Who knows where 2012 will take us.

There are so many stories to share about the last year and half.
