breathe...

I feel like this is the first moment that I've had to actually breathe. 

I started my new job on Monday and literally have been booked in meetings from 9am-5pm non-stop since.
But I made it!!  I love it so far.  I have a lot to learn and a lot to do and a ton of work to catch up on... but I love it.

The only negative thing I can say about it is that I miss my lunch bunch.  I guess I didn't realize how much I enjoyed my time with them each day.  The lunch bunch I'm referring to consists of a few of my co-workers (fellow RDs) that eat lunch each day together in one of the cafe's on campus.  We vent to each other, support each other, bounce ideas off of each other but more importantly it's our daily check-in with each other.
And now that I do not have a meal plan anymore, I miss that a lot. 

I miss the check-in.  I miss someone asking me each day, "how's it going" or telling stories of Maddie during the day...

And I will have that time, just this week was insanely busy... so I didn't have that time.
I'm not complaining - I loved being busy and I love the work that I'm responsible for and I'm nervous and excited all in the same breath...

On another note, we're still looking for a house... and it's a grueling task.  I thought it would be much more exciting than it is... but being limited on time and very limited on a budget has made it much less exciting than HGTV lets you believe!

Tomorrow we're seeing 4 houses and I have a good feeling about it.... that good feeling might be me looking forward to the full body massage that Ryan got me for my birthday - I'm having that before we look at houses!!

Either way, tomorrow will be a great day!!
