Oh hi...I decided that there are too many funny things in my brain that do not get shared. The book I am "writing" is still notes on my computer. I never update my Facebook status. I rarely return phone calls. I don't know how to listen to my voicemail. And somehow I think I will keep up on a blog. I guess we will see.
Today my life is crazy. Lets go waaayyy back...in the last 2 years I have experienced life as a "cancer caregiver," planned a wedding in 5 months, got married, got pregnant, had an adorable baby boy, changed jobs at Best Buy 3 times, quit my job at Best Buy after 11 years and started a new job as a store manager at Starbucks.
The move to Starbucks will be a good one. Much better for work life balance. I just have to get though the training schedule...2 weeks left!! The end goal is to not have to leave Jack with people for 8-10 hours a day. We have some amazing people on our life that watch him for us so he does not go to daycare but I did not have a child for someone else to raise him. This new schedule will allow me to spend more time with him, as well as my husband, Mike.
Last June, Jackson James was born. June 26th at 5:59am. He was 8lbs and 6oz. 21 in long. I could never have imagined how he would change my life. He is perfect! I will write a separate blog about his birth.
We bought our house 3 years ago and finally just put a backyard in 2 weeks ago. The first summer we spent all our money on moving expenses, a fence, furnishing our house etc, the second summer was "Cancer" summer so nothing got done and the 3rd summer we Jackson summer so nothing got done. :)
Speaking of...Mike and I met working at the Everett store back in 2005, we had some mutual friends at the store that introduced us. Mike told me that he would never live with a girl, get married or have kids. That didn't scare me. We started dating in Feb 2006, moved in together in 2008, bought our house in 2009, got married in 2010 and had our first child in 2011.
Blog writing is going to be hard for me because I have rapid thought patterns. My roommates and I diagnosed this back in college...I had rapid thought patterns because I could not stay on a topic long enough to make sense and I always changed the subject. Katie had rapid body movements because she would move all the time and karate chop and just be weird and Deidre had rapid something that I can't remember.
Well I should go to bed...I was up at 5:30am for work but I close tomorrow so I am still up. Jack has been asleep since 8:30pm so he will spare me no mercy and wake up at the butt crack of dawn regardless of what time I go to sleep. OH and I have to finish my laundry AND watch Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef AND eat some ice cream cake. You know, the important things.
I had no idea you were writing a book!
