So it looks like my fun "stay at home and hang out with our housekeeper" time may be coming to a close. We got word that I have received my clearance for my job and are now awaiting the funding authorization. Rumor is that I'll be working by August 21st at the latest. We'll see how that goes.
I have to say though that as much as I would love to get back to the working world (albeit not in my career field), I am going to miss this time at home. We've been married for a year now and because of circumstances surrounding our move here (continual delays at the last minute), I haven't worked for the past year. I've taken care of things around the house and done all the grocery shopping and errands while Stewart's been at work. Even though we now have a staff that takes care of most of the grocery shopping, errands, and cleaning, there are still chores that I take care of. I like the fact that when Stewart gets home from work and on the weekends, it's just us. No chores, no errands, just us hanging out with each other. We'll have to adjust to a new normal. Our morning routine will change. Our evening routine will change. Our life together will change. Stewart will take on more responsibilities at home, and we'll have to take care of chores on the weekends. The nice part is that we talk about how important our relationship is and no matter what happens, we'll continue to work on our relationship and set aside time for each other and us.
I always said we'll look back on our time in Podunkville and realize just how good of a life we had out there. And it's true. But I don't want to go back. We'll continue moving ahead and adjusting to all the changes that lay before us. Our life's an adventure, might as well enjoy the ride.
