Cherish

I'm still looking for a job - I've come pretty close to a couple of offers, but nothing has quite come through yet. I've never been in this situation before - I've always been the top candidate for the positions I've interviewed for. Oh well...times are tough and I am well aware that there are plenty of well qualified people out there applying to the same jobs as I am.

Rob and I are praying, and we trust in the Lord, so when the right opportunity comes up, we know there will be a clear sign. Until then I am doing my best to cherish every moment that I have with my son right now - I am so thankful that I've been here for him for his first four months so far. If I had gone back to work back in August I would have missed his first laugh, the first time he was alert in his entertainer/bumbo/playpen, the first time he started grabbing things, etc.

I love my son so much - and while I really need to go back to work, and look forward to doing so, I'm going to miss him so so very much. I must remember to cherish, and continue to cherish, every moment I have with him right now... even when he's screaming and kicking and fighting his naptime ;)
