Season of Change!

July of this year marked the three year anniversary since I have been a stay at home Mommy. I have worked several positions part time either from home or in the restaurant or selling our Cheesecakes but for the first time I am venturing back into the full time world since having more than one child. I am thrilled. I am nervous. I am anxious. I am very excited to start this chapter of my life but I have enjoyed my time home with my kiddos. Three small children is a ton of work, very rewarding but a TON of work. I am so thankful to find a position that will have some flexibility as I will be working from home! So hopefully I will still be able to attend field trips and such. I accepted the offer from Enterprise Holdings as a Reservation Specialist November 19th...on Jenna's Birthday:) I start January 3rd. I will train for 5 weeks in their corporate office and then will resume my schedule at home in my home office. My title is a Reservation Specialist and I will will handle inbound calls from across the US and Canada, assisting customers with reservation sales and various customer inquiries.

Ava also went to her preschool screening which the team of teachers and child advocacy team said she is developing beautifully and age appropriate. She is entering the Pre-K program at Midway Elementary and will be going to "big school" with Jenna. They are both thrilled...I only wish they would take Cole too:) She will attend half days and will be getting all prepared for Kindergarten.

Eric has is final and "working" interview with Bella Milano, a restaurant in Edwardsville on Friday after Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for the opportunities coming our way in the recent months! Eric would really love to return to school and leave the restaurants business entirely, his time home with the kids has made him really want to be available more than the restaurant industry allows. Bella Milano contacted him and really they seem to be a great fit and offer an opportunity that is so close to home and considerably less hours than a typical Executive Chef position, so we excited about this too! This will hopefully allow Eric to work and still be able to fulfill his goal of returning to school.

So much change is happening for us and in such a good way! I am so nervous about going back to work but so thankful that it is a position that will allow some flexibility. We are looking into babysitters and childcare in the neighborhood and we have some great possibilities. The kids will get a chance to socialize and interact with kids and Mommy will get some productive time away to focus back in career mode where I spent those years at Truman State preparing.

Stay tuned for more announcements and progress on my return:)
