2013 is actually off to a pretty exciting start for our family. Chuck and I both started new jobs! I am really proud of Chuck for getting a promotion in the pricing department. He is now supervising the pricers for Louisiana, Minnesota, Arkansas and Illinois, and he is doing a great job! It was a pretty significant move for him, and though it means no more working from home (and I miss him!), I am really proud of him.
After working at the Y for a little over a year, I was at Morley library in December and saw a posting for an assistant librarian in Children's Services. I knew immediately that I wanted the job, and it was just a matter of going for it and giving it my all. I interviewed shortly after New Year's and started on January 11th. It is going so well! I work some pretty strange hours, which has meant finding childcare for 2 days a week, but I'm lucky to have great friends who help me out and latchkey for Aiden on Friday afternoons. I am working Monday 5-9, Tuesday 5:30-9, Wednesday 9-1, Friday 1-6, every other Saturday 9-5 and one Sunday a month 1-5. Not ideal hours, but the job fits me perfectly. I get to do 3 of the Young Family Story times a week and Tuesday evenings I run Stories Plus for kids ages 6-10. I absolutely love it. The head librarian is just an amazing person who I get along with so well. I feel so lucky to have found a job I love that still gives me a lot of time home with my kids during the day several days a week.
Yes, 2013 is really starting off right for us! We even bought new furniture for the living room: a couch, loveseat and recliner. We love it!
