Left Paradise

So many changes since I last posted. I have left paradise. In December of 2010 I was offered a new job and promotion but I would have to leave paradise. Things had changed, friends had moved on and a great opportunity offered so I said good-bye (for now) and went on another adventure this time to the great state of Oklahoma. I would be working for the US Army Corps of Engineers in the Contracting Division as a Administrative Officer.

2011 was a busy year. So in January I packed my Bags and off I went. It had been almost 20 years since I had been to Oklahoma but never to Tulsa. Here was a wonderful opportunity career wise and also to get the family all in one spot. Career is doing great still working on getting the family all in one spot. Oldest daughter made the move with me and will be starting college in the fall. I bought a double-wide mobile home with 4 acres of land so I at least got to have my horses, cats and dogs. In October we lost my mother-in-law, friend, and second Mom unexpectantly to a heart attack. It was a struggle to end the year.

As for 2012 I am excited about all the possibilities. I will be starting a new job here with the Corps in another week. I will be moving across the hall to the RM shop as a Program Analyst. I am looking forward to this experience with a group of wonderful folks. Youngest daughter will be graduating from HS in May and then off to college. I will try to do better about keeping the blog updated. Just enjoying life and trying to remember to live, love, and laugh!
