Yessss! You guys are wonderful. Thanks for the questions and ideas; I really appreciate them and I think they’re just what I needed to get the dust shaken from my dormant mind.

Today’s post will be dedicated to the work-related inquiries:

I am the secretary (ahem, administrative assistant) at Summerland Baptist Church. It’s the church Steve and I have attended ever since we moved to Summerland and working there is truly a privilege. The staff is warm and fun-loving, the environment is positive and uplifting, the job involves a lot of just talking to people (and I do have the gift of gab), everyone was very supportive of my taking a full year off to be with my baby, and they were so accomodating with my hopes of returning for a solitary weekday. I love it there! I feel like I am more than a secretary there; I feel like a part of a team that is making a positive impact on our community.

I only work on Mondays and am free the rest of the week. I will have to cover the holiday weeks of the full-time secretary this summer, which may prove to be a tad chaotic, but the extra income will be greatly appreciated.

Beck asked for a telling of my and Steve’s love story. I’m too lazy to write the whole thing out right now, so take a glance at this post for the full meal deal.
