Busy Woman

Ok so I know I have not blogged in a while.  I started back to work full time in the office on March 1st.  I am selling insurance for State Farm.  So far I really like it. I wasn't sure how this was going to go with me never having worked in sales and never worked in the insurance field.  The girls are back in preschool.  Riley went right back as if she had never left.  She is such a social butterfly and loves learning.  Lyla on the other hand was devestated that she no longer got to stay as physically close to mommy as possible.  She has now adjusted quite well and I think it would be safe to say she loves it. 

The above pictures are from the Easter egg hunt yesterday in the neighborhood.  The girls had a blast.  Lyla found more eggs than her sister.  Riley was too consumed with where her friends were to remember to put eggs in her basket.  Mom is here this week as we celebrate birthday week and Easter.  Next weekend is the helecopter drop at the church up the street.  They will be dropping 15000 eggs from a helecopter for kids to run in a scoop up.  Riley is worried about the logistics of the whole thing, she is concerned they might hit her in the head. 

I hope everyone in blog land is great! I will try and blog more often.  Just trying to get a regular schedule going.

I will survive

We are still alive.  Just VERY busy.  I still haven't started full time with State Farm but I have been full steam ahead getting all these lic. and certifications and online trainings so that I can sell insurance.  It makes my head hurt.  Lyla will start her "transition" into day care in a couple of weeks.  We will go together for a couple of hours every day for a week.  Then we will go together for a couple of hours and I will leave her for a few hours.   I hope she handles it well.  Riley is ready to go back and talks about it constantly.

Like a good neighbor....

Well after much deliberation and prayer I was offered a job this week and I took it.  I am going to work for a new State Farm agent here near our house.  It is a really good opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an agency.  So if you need any insurance I am your one stop shop! 

It is going to be SOOOOO hard to put the kids back into school.  Riley has been there before and loves school so I am not that worried about her, other than waking up early in the morning.  Lyla on the other hand, is going to be devestated.  We have been going to Bible Study each week and she stays in the nursery for a whopping 2 hours each week.  She screams when I leave her and is still screaming when I pick her up and hyperventalates as we drive home from Bible study each week.  It breaks my heart, but I really think this is going to be the best thing for us in the long run.  It has been hard making the choice to go back to work and I just worry about my kiddos. 

Does anyone know where the spell check on here is??? I lost it a few weeks ago and have yet to find it...help.

Happy Anniversary John.  Sorry this is the only picture I could find on Mom's computer of both of us together.  It has been a wonderful and wild five years.  Here's to 65 more! I love you!
