How was your first day? If you're like Doug, you're probably not so sure about it yet. He told me last night that he just realized yesterday how good he had it at Snorkel. I'm sure your situation is different though, since you were the one making the decision to leave. Either way, it's definitely an adjustment.
Some days, I fantasize about working anywhere other than a library. I told Doug last night that we should be more like you and Josh and just go somewhere and find new jobs. :) He almost went for it.

Halloween Costume
Remember when I said that Hazel should be a gnome for Halloween? Well, I just opened up the new Family Fun magazine and look what I found...

Catch Up
Doug started his new job this morning. He's already called and didn't sound very enthused. Granted, today is orientation and he's probably just bored. I just hope he doesn't think this is a mistake and thinks that just because Angela gave him a reference that he has to stay there.
We celebrated our anniversary over the weekend. I think we've found a new mattress for our bed and that is going to be our anniversary gift to each other. Not very exciting or romantic (well, maybe it is a little romantic.) Anyhow, it is hard to believe this year has gone so quickly. I'm hoping for fewer issues in our 2nd year. As for actually celebrating we had dinner at Red Lobster on Sunday afternoon (I really wanted something a little bit nicer, 36th Street or someplace like that, but they are all closed on Sundays) and we ate way too much. For some reason the whole experience kind of soured our celebratory mood and we ended up sulking for a good hour or 2. Finally, I decided that it wasn't worth it to spend our anniversary like that so I got our freezer burnt cake out and we had that with some wine we bought last year right after the wedding. That turned our whole evening around and we both went to bed happy that night. Then since yesterday was our official anniversary Doug had dinner ready for me when I got home from work, we exchanged cards and spent the rest of the evening in a most enjoyable way. ;) Overall, I'd say it turned out very nice and we didn't need to take a fancy trip or anything like that.
We also went to see Burn After Reading this weekend...HILARIOUS!!! I highly recommend it. We went with Angela & Jay and it was definitely a crowd pleaser. We've been having a nice time hanging out with A&J. For some reason Doug & Jay have really hit it off. I'm glad for that. It's nice that we aren't always hanging out with his friends. Not as nice as when you & Josh lived here, but I'll take it.
That's all for us, now what's been going on with you? I know your new job starts next week, are you getting excited? How's Hazel? Isn't time you posted some more pictures of that little cutie! How's school going for Josh? Is he ready to be done?
Alright, alright...no more questions! Have a great day!

Back to Work for Me, Too!
Tomorrow is the big day, huh? It'll be hard, but Hazel will be just fine at her daycare. The great thing about daycares (and I know this from experience) is that those teachers come to love your kids almost as much as you do. Almost. Never more than a parent, of course.
Anyway, I head back to work tomorrow too. It was nice being out of the library this past week, but I had the most boring vacation ever. Doug has been on 3rd shift and so that limited what I could do during the day. Our lack of funds definitely put a crimp in any shopping plans, I might have had. I did manage to get a few things done around the house. I have clean ceiling fans now. :) I also ordered my new contacts and glasses. See, fun stuff! Too bad a trip didn't work out this time.
Well, good luck tomorrow! I'm sure everything will be fine.

Back to Work
Hazel is 7 weeks old and this is the last week of my leave. It went so fast I can't even believe it. Next week I'll be at work all day while she's at her daycare center without me. How depressing can you get? It's times like this that I long for socialism and curse our capitalist society for making me want a new pair of shoes every week. ;)
I went on a job interview yesterday. My boss that quit Navitus last year contacted me about the position. Seems like interviewing was just a formality for them, and to see if I would like the job. It's a huge company 1300 employees and offices all over the world. I'm thinking about it very seriously, even though we don't know what our plans will be after Josh graduates in December.
Anyhow, I'm just enjoying this cold and rainy day (I'm wearing a sweater!) and surfing around Allrecipies for a good soup recipe.
Hope you are enjoying your vacation!

Did You Know?
Old Navy now has petites? Only online, but I've been poring over it since I found out yesterday. I really want this dress, but it is sold out in my size. Darn it!
Yay! You Have Internet!!!
Now where are my Hazel pictures? :)
Seriously though, I loved those ones you sent yesterday. They were too cute. My favorite is the one where she is peeking out from underneath that pink blanket. Her expression is so inquisitive. I can already tell she is going to keep you & Josh on your toes at all times!!
When did her hair turn red? It's so cute! You'll probably hate me for saying this, but little red haired girls in pink just melts my heart!
Did I tell you that I snagged a few things from Becky's garage sale a couple weeks ago for you. It's all going to be too big for a bit, but I hope you can use it eventually. Of course, you know she has boys, so what I picked up was pretty generic. A pair of jeans, a pair of overalls, 2 pairs of sweat pants (navy & gray) and a plain gray sweatshirt. They are all 12 mos. or 18 mos., but I was planning ahead. :) Of course, now seeing those pictures I don't want to buy her anything that isn't pink or purple!
Anyway, I better see some more pictures soon! :) I'm on vacation this week, so I'll be checking online often.
