Off To Work I Go

I have officially started my first day of work...yep, sitting at my new desk right now in front of my new computer. I have to admit, I was feeling like a student on the first day of school; full of excitement, anticipation, and nerves. While leaving Ethan was extremely hard, I am glad to be here and looking forward to starting a new job.

As many of you know, I was presented with a great opportunity, shortly before Ethan was born, to work at Vienna Beef with my friend Carolyn. While I was not thrilled with the idea of going back to work, it was something that Matt and I decided was necessary and it seemed as though Vienna was the perfect place. They are kind enough to allow me work 3 days a week (Tuesday thru Thursday) and my job consists of easy entry level accounting while helping them with some analysis and special projects that had been put off for several months. Pretty much a perfect situation for having to go back to work.

So, here I am, on my first day! I have been introduced to pretty much everyone and they all seem wonderful. I think the anticipation leading up to today was much worse than actually leaving Ethan and starting my new job. It also helps to know that Ethan is in great hands with our lovely nanny, Carmen. By crazy circumstances, we are able to nanny share with a guy I went to high school with. So, not only will Ethan be learning a little Spanish from Carmen, he also has a new friend, Jackson. We feel really blessed to have such great opportunities like this fall into place. Thank you to everyone for the encouragement and support leading up to this day!

I will be back later today with posts about Thanksgiving, Ethan's first trip on an airplane, and Addy's baptism. I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day!
