Wow. I have been avoiding writing a post for almost a year. I didn't know how to say that I've changed careers and I love it, even though I mourn the loss of my identity as a teacher. I found it hard to say that I'm finally Home when I feel like that's betraying the homes I have loved and the friends I have made for 10 years away from good old Fort Bend County. But being home is good. I love seeing my parents for more than just a weekend at a time. I love that I was able to be by my grandmother's side for the last few months of her life. I love having a job that I wait eagerly all weekend to get back to on Monday. And I love sinking back into the welcoming arms of the church I've grown up in. I also love my screen porch.
Since transitioning from "Teacher" to "Office Manager of a Law Firm", I have learned an entirely new set of skills but I feel like this is what I was always supposed to be doing. I work with my husband and two other wonderful people and we are helping people. Really, tangibly helping people when they need it. It's pretty damn cool.
Talkie talkie talkie. What I really want to do, instead of reflect on or summarize the past (yikes!) 10 months since I last posted, is jump right into the good stuff. Garden! Cooking! Adorable puppy! I'll try to keep back up with the blog and show you pictures of what I've been up to in the garden and kitchen departments, with some gratuitously cute dog pictures thrown in. Like this one.
