Hi everyone! I have been trying to get back to blogging. It's been difficult given our recent changes. After being fired, very viciously I might add, from my last law firm, I have found a new job at a much better firm. I am growing to like it more and more and it's becoming a great place to work. Nick got orders and we are moving! For the first time in 10 years, we will be PCSing to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina in June of this year. So we are working on getting our house ready to put on the market to sell and trying to find a new house in Hope Mills, NC, right outside of Ft. Bragg. I think we've found one...we will be flying out there to look at it and hopefully start the buying process. Zachary is in soccer again and loving it. He's signed up for baseball, machine pitch, and that starts sometime in April. He's doing awesome in first grade and really enjoys it. His reading is great and
I said earlier that I've found a new job....or really I should say this job found me! I am working for another attorney here in Killeen and I wasn't sure how me telling her we were moving was going to play out. When I did tell her, I offered to do some contract work for her and the firm until they found someone they would be comfortable replacing me with. My boss asked me how long I wanted to work for her. I told her as long as they needed me. Then she suggested setting up a satellite office in our new home in NC and continuing to work for her from there. I agreed and thought it was a great idea. Since then, we've hired someone who, basically, will be my assistant here in Killeen and will do anything I will need for her to do that I can't because I'm not here. She will also be a receptionist in our office. This job, more than any other ones I've had, has made me feel like I am a part of a team. My opinion matters and they care about me. I thought I had that at the other law firm but my previous boss just threw money at me when she was scared I was about to quit instead of asking me what was wrong and dealing with the problem. We are going to make this law firm a success and it will flourish without a doubt; it already is.
So I will keep everyone updated on our search for a house. And pictures when we find one. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that 2012 is turning out to be a great year for everyone!
