Movin' on Up...

I got a promotion today, 

and it's a new job that I'm REALLY excited about!!!

Today I met with my manager to discuss and prepare for my new position.

There are a few changes with this new job, you see...

No company car (turned in the good ole Chevy Impala).

I'm taking a MAJOR pay cut.

This job requires nights and weekends, and there is no vacation accrual.

No sick days.

No annual reviews and ride-alongs.

No raises; no quarterly bonuses.

No business trips or lavish work dinners out on the town.

I have to work all holidays, too.

You may be thinking - that really doesn't sound like a promotion - but let me introduce you to the person I'll be "managing"...

It might just change your mind...

Yes, this gentleman and I will have lots of work play to keep us busy.

There will be lots of "business meetings" (with FRIENDS!), many "working lunches," and plenty of team-building exercises, "role-playing" (not quite the type I'm used to in a grueling sales job), and training to be completed!

Lucky for me, I'll have a very enthusiastic, fast-moving, ADORABLE "employee." :)

And my sweet, precious boss (he wouldn't let me call him that) co-worker (aka head of our household)... he's not too bad either!!! :) I'm pretty crazy about him, actually!

We celebrated tonight by enjoying the beautiful weather, and the beginning of the college football season!

We've been so blessed to have Sloan in our lives - she's done an amazing job keeping Mills since I've been back at work...

But thankfully we're just right down the road from each other and will be having weekly lunch dates! :)

(I just got a picture of these two for the first time TODAY!)

Mills and I just adore her!!! :)

This will definitely be an adjustment for us, as we'll be making some major budgeting changes while Nicholas is finishing up residency, but after much prayer and petition, we feel confident that this is the best decision for our family.

So as of next week, I'll be starting my dream job, and I couldn't be more thriled. :)
