Revamp

Well, to call this, a countdown to the wedding is no longer needed.  It's funny, it seemed like it was going to take forever to get to the wedding, and then as soon as it was over, BAM!!!  The rest of the year flew by.  It's been crazy since the wedding.  I went back to work only to find out that our office was closing at the end of October.  So, now, I'm back to looking for a job.  Can I just say that this sucks!  I was happy, and as we decided, we settled.  We never knew if we were going to stay open or not, but we loved what we were doing and loved working with each other.  We were like a happy disfunctional family.  The best thing I can say is that I learned a lot while working there.  I gained a lot of confidence and knowledge.  I have to thank my Boss Man for all the help.  He knows he is, and yes, if he reads this, you were my boss, but most importantly, you've become a friend and mentor.  Thank you!!

So as the year winds down, I've got a lot to be thankful for.  I've got a husband who I adore.  I don't know what I would do without him.  I've got a cat, who for the first time, has decided that my Christmas tree and nativity scene are new toys.  I've got a roof over my head and the best family and friends in the world.  They are my support and inspiration. 

The most important part of the revamp, is the future Norm and I want to carve for our family!  We've decided that we want to leave Florida.  We love it down here, but we're both starting to miss being close to family.  Not that we want to move too far north, but we want to be closer.  We've decided that we want to move to North Carolina.  We've scouted the Charlotte area and fell in love with the area.  It didn't hurt that a friend of his, who lives in the area, showed us around.  So as soon as we find jobs up there, we're moving.  If you feel like volunteering to help us move, let us know! ;-)  With wanting to move to North Carolina, it's also got me thinking about teaching again.  For those of you who don't know the whole story, my last teaching position was horrible and pretty much turned me off from wanting to teach.  However, I miss working with kids and am thinking I want to go back.  I am thinking about changing subjects.  As much as I love reading and writing, teaching English/Language Arts, no longer appeals to me.  I'm thinking about doing Social Studies.  I loved the subject and still have a passion for it.

And as I close, I want to thank everyone.  And for those of you who watch Top Chef, Heather just went home, which is AWESOME!!!!  Well good night all!
