Moving? With an Infant?
Sooo.. we're thinking about moving. Not just "Hey, I think we should think about moving!". We're at the "Where do we want to move? Do we want a commute? What kind of job(s) do we want?".

I'll be working when we move and I'm looking forward to it! I've arrived at the conclusion that I enjoy working. Staying home with my beautiful daughter is wonderful and I'm thankful I had this time to spend with her. But I really miss working. I know a part of me will miss staying home with her, but I know my love for her isn't measured in the hours I spend at home: it's measured in smiles and poop (hers of course).
I've received a formal job offer to be a Registrar, Professor, and curriculum developer somewhere that I can't announce - the board officially approves (or disapproves) me on the 22nd. Jonathan is still looking for a job. May/June will likely be the timeframe. Stay tuned :)
