long lost pixie...
good grief! i haven't updated since MAY; that doesn't seem possible...i certainly didn't realize it had been that long!
let's see, what has happened since may?
- in july i was promoted to Director of Day Services, and moved from the day program (where i was site director) to the administrative offices. i LOVE my new position, and the opportunity it gives me to serve more people. i'm extremely fortunate to be part of an agency where there really is a culture of compassion.
- in september we went to london, and had a MARVELOUS time. (i sincerely thought i'd posted about the trip...i wrote about it somewhere. it wasn't here? hmmmm...)
- the minute we returned from london we started househunting. we found a house we love, closed on it a month after our return, and moved in the week before halloween.
- i spent most of november settling in. i'm still working on that.
- it's december now (how did that happen?!). the tree is up, and it's snowing. my wife was promoted this week, and is now part of command staff for the ambulance service where she works.
- sometime during all that, my daughter broke up with her crazy boyfriend and moved into an apartment with her friend. she has a new boyfriend, and i do believe he's as close to "normal' as any guy out there. my son got a new job this week, which means he can leave the job that's making him miserable. and cooper is as adorable and smart as ever.
that just about covers the high points, and there have been no low points to speak of. life is good. : )
