Life changes

It has been a really crazy, hectic, busy, stressful, weight gaining couple of weeks! We have had a lot of stresses in our lives lately, but we are working through them. I am so grateful for my parents and Dee's parents and the love and support that they always give to us. We have been blessed so much through the past few weeks, it has been such a learning experience for me to see the Lord's hand in all we have been going through.
After working at my job for seven years, I have recently made a change. I have decided to go back to work full time. I was so blessed to be able to find an amazing job, and the best part is...it's in Payson! Yay, no more commute to Provo (at least for me!) I just started my job last Wednesday, and so far so good. It's been a little hard for me because like I said I had been at my previous job for seven years! I was definitely in my comfort zone. So my new job is completely foreign to me. But I am really excited to be learning something new again. I was at a plateau at my other job, and I was not learning and growing as I should be. I actually have an official title at my new job, I am the Staff Accountant (it's a little bit easier to explain than, I'm-the-pretty-much-do-everything-person).
One of my big stresses with this new job was, what about a babysitter? What do I do with Hayden before and after school? Will Rylan have a hard time adjusting? Once again, a major blessing...I was able to find a babysitter in Santaquin, and her kids ride Hayden's bus, so he can just ride to and from her house instead with her kids (who he already knows from school). Plus Rylan is very happy to have Hayden come with him in the morning. I felt so comfortable with the new sitter, usually Rylan takes quite a while to warm up and he took to her instantly (that was such a relief, I knew if he cried then I'd never make it through my day!)
I am still adjusting to this whole not being home thing. My house probably won't be as clean anymore, we probably won't have as good of dinners, and I probably will slack a bit in the blogging department, but as long as I at least blog more often than Emilie, I will be okay :) (Emilie is on the crappy blogger list-sorry Em)
This is going to be a very different life than we are use to, but I am hopeful that we can make the best of it. Wish us luck as we embark on this new adventure!
