Change is progress....

Last year at this time I was a full time student, beginning the last 6 months of my 4 year degree.  My youngest was in Kindergarten; which meant my days revolved around getting stuff done in the 3 hours he was gone during the day. I was a PTA vice-president and I volunteered in several of the kids' classrooms, in addition to switching out Home Reading books once a week. I was First Councilor in the Primary Presidency in our ward.  I was trying to help our teenage foster placement graduate from high school, and my husband's brother was living with us while attending UVU. Blah, Blah, Blah.....It translates to: I was busy.
Fast forward one year.....
Teenager has moved out, brother-in-law has moved out, I'm not on the PTA board or switching books or volunteering in classrooms. I finished my degree. (Yay!)
So the question is; if I've stopped all that, what am I doing, right?
This January I started working for the first time since my first baby came through my door over 12 years ago.  When I started school 4 years ago, it was with the thought that if I ever worked outside the home, the only place I would want to be is at Utah Foster Care. Things fell into place better than I could have ever planned them. Now when I drop my kids off at school , I get to spend my days recruiting new foster parents.

I'm kind of loving it. So with the growing up of children, and other things settling down, I finally have time for this. Putting my thoughts down in writing. I promise not to ramble (too much) and I apologize for when I am bound to be too personal. Hooray for new adventures!
