Catching up

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Everyone! I have been very slack in blogging over the course of the last few months and decided that today was as good a day as any to catch up.

Over the last few months, I have managed to be laid off, enjoy a few weeks at home and fortunate enough to find employment once again. Being laid off was something that has never happened to me before and came as a shock, and with that came stress, worry, and then some relief as the Real Estate Company I was working for did take care of me for which I am very thankful.

During my weeks at home, I was able to spend time with Nana, clean my house (it reallllllly needed it) and run errands for my husband. After a full week at home my nerves were starting to fray (a floor can only be swept so many times you know) and the need for employment on a personal level was high. So I began to search, and search and search. I applied and applied and applied. Nothing is simple anymore – Finally I was blessed with employment at SFI Group Insurance – and…I am enjoying it!

I spent Thanksgiving at home with my family and then the day after, went shopping with my friends and all the rest of the early risers at 4am Friday morning. Chatting on the sidewalk at Target at 4am is something I never envisioned myself doing – but… it was fun and I hope that I can do it again. Over the course of the day, I began to realize that Christmas is NOT what it used to be and being courteous is something that every takes for granted at some point in time. Bumper Carts in Wal-Mart is not fun. Christmas is for the children and the true meaning is found by the smiles on their faces and love in their hearts, the unconditional love that comes to us and provided by God above.

Merry Christmas
