Some great news

Well, it's official so now I can finally update & spill the news: we're moving to Mount Carmel!!! =]] We had some issues with our landlord and to make a long story short, we ended up terminating the lease we had on our house early. This was for many reasons, one being financial reasons, of course. But it's not necessarily a bad thing...we now get the chance to move from Lancaster to a place which we feel will be a GAZILLION times better for Steve, so we're pretty happy. I'm a little sad to leave my house, since it's absolutely perfect & I love it [minus the neighborhood it's in] but I do believe that we will find another one just as nice up there, but in a much better neighborhood. The move is officially for November 10th, but we are welcome to stay at "the Dobak house" for a while if we can't find a new house before then. I think this could be the start of something wonderful. =] And yes, we're keeping our business going of course. Now that Dani is a member of our team, he'll help us start it up in Mount Carmel so we should be able to continue there like we were here. Hopefully, at least...

I also have a couple other big news: I got two [yea that's right, two!] jobs this week!! =]]] Of course wouldn't you know that I got called about these after I stopped actively looking for jobs, but I'm not complaining! =] I am now working full-time as a receptionist at a law office, Monday-Friday 9-5. I am also working weekends 4-midnight at Donnelley, the place Cory works. This all started Wednesday and already I couldnt be happier, seriously. I now feel like I have a purpose in my life again. Of course, they are only temp jobs for the next three weeks until we move, but they both are giving me awesome pay and in addition to being a nice little financial boost for our move, they will be a nice start for my working-mom status because when we move, the decision has been settled that I will definitely be a working mom. I've been doing some job searching & it definitely seems much more promising in that area then what it did here [although the jobs would be a bit further away, like 15-20 miles from our house, but that's not a big issue].

My biggest concern was daycare, but it turns out I didn't really need to worry as much as I did. The babysitter we chose is amazing and although she says he did act extremely clingy today and had one scream-fest this afternoon, he didn't scream all day or anything extreme like what we had expected. In fact, she picked him up at our house this morning at 8:15 and the first time she heard him cry today was after 11. So it wasn't too bad at all and hopefully the clinginess will diminish some after he gets used to her & her house and gets into his comfort zone.

Well that's about all I have for tonight, but now that I know it's official, I can start posting again. =] I just didn't want to give anything away and since most of the last week was spent preparing for the move, I didn't want to update and "slip"...
