New Directions

A little over a month ago I gave my notice at the job I had worked at for 4 years.  I loved the girls that I worked with so this was a hard thing for me to do.  4 weeks later I had my last day. 

Today I have been at my new job for about a week and I absolutely love it.  I now work for my mother-in-law at the business she owns that is located about a mile from my house. :)  I love that it takes me 2 minutes to get to work as opposed to the 40 min. drive that I used to have.  I love that I don't have to be to work until 8:00 am (instead of 7:30) which gives me time to workout in the morning, eat breakfast with my husband, and make him his lunch.  I love that I am done with work at 3:30 (instead of 4:30) so that I can do my grocery shopping or clean the house or water my flowers or do whatever I want and still have time to get dinner on the table between 5 and 5:30, which, I might add, Jared also loves.  I think I have cooked more in the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 2 months!  How sad is that?  

I don't think I ever realized how much stress I carried around with me from my job when I worked at Subaru.  I complained a lot, I didn't play around very much, and when I got home at night I would become this fixture on the couch that didn't move.  I just felt exhausted all of the time.  Now, I feel like a completely new me now.  Jared says I'm happier and that I joke more and that I'm just all around more fun to be around.  I love that.  I am all for this new direction that I am going.
