With a New Year...Comes New Changes

I always love ringing in the new year and all that it has in store.
setting some new goals.
reflecting on the past year. 
a fresh new start in all areas of life.
getting organized.

As I look towards 2011 and all that it brings, a mixture of emotions comes my way... If expecting twins isn't enough change in one year. Another exciting event in the coming 2011 is Stephen's graduation from business school. With this graduation, comes reality...real life...real bills....real jobs...which we are excited to share that we have one!  YEA!!! Stephen accepted a full-time position with AT&T just before Christmas!

He has been very busy the past semester recruiting, applying, interview, traveling, and negotiating. Well, after weeks of weighing everything and much prayer, we decided to take it! Yea!!!! I'm so proud of him! We are sooo excited and sooo grateful to have a job. And to have it well before graduation...bonus for us! We thought the road would be long and hard. Just as it was last year when we were looking for an internship. Stephen's start date will be sometime in June or July...yep just about the time our new ones will join us. We're hoping these sweet ones decide to come before he starts and we have to move. This spring we'll find out exactly which head office we'll be located at and where we will be moving to. My family is incredibly sad that we'll be moving out of state shortly after the babies are born.

Although moving with 2 newborns will be challenging, we're excited that he'll be doing a rotational leadership program so we'll have the opportunity to work in a few different locations the first 3 years. So we'd better get used to packing and moving. Right?  I would lie if I didn't say that I have moments of shear  panic...when I realize everything that lies ahead for us. But in some ways,  it's exciting and we couldn't ask for more perfect timing of everything. :) I think 2011 has already proved to exciting and definitely full of change!

Wow! It's great that he has a job already lined up! I'm sad to hear that you'll be moving, but the great thing about us all being from the same town is that our parent's are still a home base, where we can all meet up and see each other. Good luck with everything Emily! 2011 will be a year you'll always remember!!
