changes in the wind

as many of you know, kevin was actively searching for a new job (preferably somewhere outside of california; like seattle).  while we worked diligently at it, nothing came to fruition.  so, i continued my own job hunt locally.  and...i was hired!  i will be an office management assistant at sandia national laboratories, starting on monday, august 19th!.  i'm super excited, and this job is an answer to many prayers regarding our family and our situation.  while it is not in my field of education and previous experience, it is great money and literally five minutes from home.  sandia also shares a campus with kevin's workplace (llnl), so we can carpool and stuff.  a friend in our ward is watching lily, and we are so grateful to have found someone who we trust and know will be wonderful with our little bean.

it feels a little surreal to be employed again.  after five years of job hunting, countless rejections and demoralizing blows to my ego, someone finally said yes!  it is a perfect situation and i am grateful that everything has fallen into place so quickly and for the confirmations that have come along the way.  i am feeling incredibly blessed.
