Most of you have probably been keeping up on Facebook, but I want to post some pretty important things that have happened to us over the last four months or so.
Neal got yet another promotion at the Union Colony Civic Center. He's now the "Technical Services Coordinator" aka the Technical Director for you theater folks. It was a HUGE leap of faith for him to apply for and accept the job. It comes with a lot of responsibility, and he had a LOT to learn in a very short amount of time. Now that we are a couple months into it, he's really enjoying the job, and he's learning a TON of stuff that he didn't understand before about budgeting, managing, and much, much more. I can't express in words how proud I am of him for taking the leap. I am so grateful everyday that he takes providing for his family seriously, and that he strives to do his absolute best at his job! I know it will give him so much more understanding in his career field.
We bought a house, and moved to a little farm town! It's a pretty blue house, about 2100 square feet (700 of which is unfinished). It sits on about a quarter acre so we've got a good sized back yard. Our neighbors are super sweet and helpful.
We got to meet the local volunteer fire department, and figure out where the closest urgent care was to our new house. I was getting a sandwich made so I could sit down and eat while I fed Joey and then put him to sleep. While making said sandwich, I was cutting some delicious colby jack with a cheese slicer (that I never ever use, so don't ask me why I used it at that moment) and slipped and just about took the tip of my thumb off. It was pretty gnarly. The firefighters seriously freaked Joey out, so he screamed pretty much the whole time. The only time he calmed down is when a specific firefighter of the SIX firefighters that showed up at my house picked him up and started playing with him. I'm guessing that firefighter was a recent new dad because he seemed to know exactly how to calm Joey down. I'm so grateful Neal works close to home so that he was able to come home and take me to Urgent Care (where I got three stitches). I am grateful that my in-laws were able to come over afterwards and help me get ready for our housewarming party that was that weekend. I am grateful that my cousin was able to take my stitches out so we didn't have to spend the money on even more medical bills.
I LOVE staying at home with Joey. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life and I am so glad we made the decision to take that road for our family.
Well....that's about it! :)
