This week Bridgit and I both started new jobs. I had been unemployed for three months, and Bridgit for eight. With new jobs, Eli starting preschool last week, and figuring our childcare we have been busy recently.

I am going to miss the three and a half month vacation we all had together. We had a great time and I feel blessed that we were able to spend so much time as a family. Job hunting precluded a canoe trip this summer, be we got away for a few weekends and sometimes midweek.

Having to get up early is taking some used to. We were able to reply on our mothers to watch the kids this week and that helped smooth the transition back to daycare.

Bridgit is back to teaching. She had a part time gig at a couple parochial schools at the start of the school year, but now is a full time teacher again. Now she is a middle choir teacher and loves it. It is also giving us health care.

I got a temp position at UM. I am in the hospital system, where exactly I haven’t quite pinned down. So far it has been good. I am mostly doing web development. Support has always dominated my time in previous jobs, and I am really excited to have the opportunity to dig into it more. There also seems to be a good possibility for this to turn into a permanent position
