Valentines and Mr. Mom

I did something for Valentines Day that I haven't done is over 7 years.  I wish I could say I went on an exotic cruise with my sweetheart, or even a nice dinner without the kids, but I can not.  What I did do was work.  Yes, after almost 8 years of staying home with the kids I have rejoined the working world.  This is a decision Shawn and I have been debating for a while now and an opportunity came my way and it just felt right.
So we did it!

Some of you know that I used to work for the State Department in Utah as social worker.  I really enjoyed that and wanted to pursue it again.  I have been hired to work as a Counselor at a residential treatment center for adults with OCD, anxiety problems, and eating disorders.  It should be fun and challenging, but right now I am feeling a little rusty.

Being a mom is definetly still my number one roll and my boss is a working mom as well and seems very open to working with me around my hubby and kids schedule.  This week I have been doing some training so Shawn has been both mom and dad.  It has been hard for me being away from home, but I'm so thankful for a supportive husband.  Seriously, Shawn has stepped up and done amazing.  He even put Liv's hair in a pony tail this morning :) I'm one proud wife!

On a side note my photography services are still available.  Photography is definetly more of a fun/creative outlet for me and I still want to pursue it so I will continue to do sessions when requested.

Other than working, we did have a great Valentines day.  We enjoyed lots of fun and love!
