Well it's been a few months since I last posted anything. Life has been busy!
I started a new job as Controller at Freedom Motors USA. Check out the website to see what my new career entails. I thought about leaving Plante Moran several times throughout my 13 years there, but until this job offer it always overwhelmed me. I knew that this job was meant to be when leaving was such an easy decision. While any job has its challenges, I can happily report that I LOVE it. As if enjoying my new position wasn't enough, I met the most amazing friend in the process. I thank God daily for bringing Danielle into my life!
Zack is same as always... a great boy with a good heart. I don't know what I would do without his quiet support. He always seems to know when I need some lovin' and seldomly causes trouble. He has been riding on cloud 9 lately as he was the only (and yes he will repeat "only" a few times haha) child in his class to get a 100% on the science test earlier this week.
Lauren is as strong-willed as ever. I keep meaning to plan a trip to Barnes & Noble in order to buy a book that I have researched to help me parent her. Since she was too young to comprehend our divorce two years ago, she is finally doing so now. It is so difficult to explain why Daddy and I are not getting back together. I refuse to bad-mouth her Daddy in any way and feel she deserves to form her own opinion of him. Until she is old enough to understand, I just have to wipe away the tears and remind her how much she is loved regardless of the situation. Besides the divorce, she seems to be struggling with overcoming her strong-willed attitude since starting school. I think it is primarily due to exhaustion. She gets worn out and turns evil come evening. That may be a bit of an exaggeration... but not much. Haha I can only hope that this is a phase!
