It has been too long since I posted. Things have changed dramatically for us in the past few months. All of the changes have been about taking risks.
Jackson and I are no longer moving for the KC job. I ended up turning down the career changing job as a manager/director of a major referral children's hospital. What was I thinking? I was thinking about how Jackson would do so far from his family. It is amazing the clarity that comes with having a child, suddenly his happiness trumps your career goals. The KC location also proposed some challenges for my "side job"---Oneiric Consulting Group(www.oneiricgroup.com).
My partner and I recently opened the doors and it is amazing how quickly things started happening. Let's hope it continues. On the housing front,we are still looking. Trying to land a place in Chicago and Hawaii is difficult. Im trying to figure out where we are going to be for the next few years and buy there. If I will be working out of CDH, I want to be close to I-88,if I will be working at the new campus in 2012, I want to be close to the center. The Hawaii vacation spot will come after that. So, as of now, I'm sitting pretty, saving money and allowing my parents to eat time up with Jackson. On the love front.....there is no greater love than Jackson, but it feels so good to be happy. Jackson loves his life and he laughs a thousand times a day. He is perfect. He is growing up so fast and I'm loving every minute of him. I have yet to see the terrible twos, but he did just turn two about 4 minutes ago. ;)I am excited to see the next risk we take!
