New Job! Aubrey Visited! Doug started back with Kellogg!

Hello All!

Hope everyone is doing great. It has been a good week! After much thought and prayer, I accepted a job as an 'Executive Recruiter ' (my official job title) ,which combines my Sales Experience and my Healthcare/PR experience. As I have been working toward a career in recruiting, I am very excited about this opportunity! What is also great is that I will have the opportunity to work from home, which will be fantastic especially when Doug & I start to grow our family. Yay! Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers and for listening as I weighed the decision between offers. :)

My dear friend Aubrey from my college days at ONU was finally able to visit (no snow storm this time) on Friday and Saturday. We had a great time catching up on life...laughing and talking, and Aubrey was a HUGE help in helping sort a decorating vision for our new home, and gave us some great ideas. As I already told you guys, Aubrey is a interior decorated for the Walter E. Smithe showrooms in the Chicago area. She is truly talented and fantastic!!! Thank you for everything Aubrey!!!!

And while Aubrey and I were catching up and decorating away, Doug was in class from early morning until evening at Northwestern in Chicago. After we moved to Madison, Doug transfered to the weekend program (which just started up again this weekend) for his MBA with Kellogg, so unfortunately he will be gone every Saturday. We love sharing our weekend together, so this is hard for us that we will be apart on Saturdays, but we are taking it in stride knowing that this is only temporary. Doug loves his classes (finance and microeconomics courses). Although tired, Doug came back energized and happy, which is awesome. Way to go hubby! I am proud of you!

P.S. This week I am hosting ladies night at my house. Yes, I am breaking out the fine china and napkin rings...so stay tuned for pictures.

Peace & Blessings to all of you,
Kate :)
