I'm Ba-ack

Friday, September 08, 2006

Now that I'm finally back I don't know where to start. A lot has happened since my last post so I don't think I will even try to pick up where I left off. I can give a quick summary of the past 3 months though. In the end of June we took Jayden on his first trip to BC to see Grandma and Grandpa and his Uncles Keith & Tom and his Aunt Stacey, not to mention a few of my good friends from another life. It was good to see family and friends again and get to spend a longer period of time with everybody. When I got back to work I felt like I could finally let go of all things Admissions and really dive into my new position in Student Development.

Students are now here and the last 2 weeks have been incredible. I knew this was a position I wanted and I knew that I would enjoy it but I no idea that I would love it this much. I truly feel like I was made for this. Everyday is exciting no matter how uneventful it is. The hours just fly by while I'm here whether it's a 50hr week or a 70hr week. The only downside is the time I miss with my family, but I know that will change once things settle down to the normal roar.

I did, however, manage to be home for Jayden's first steps. I was home for lunch and just as I was leaving, he was standing next to the coffee table looking at me with a smirk. So I knelt down and asked him to come to me. I didn't take much coaxing and he was taking 1, 2, 3 steps away from the coffee table and into my arms. What a proud moment. The following clip is not of his very first steps but they're at least from the first week.
