This week Jeremy started his new job at Reliable. It is a lot of new. Since we have been married Jeremy has never worked in a non-ministry job. We've always eaten lunch together. Something we have really enjoyed. Now I am learning how to pack his lunch each day. And pretty much our entire relationship he has had his gottee. Well, one of the requirements of his job is a clean shaven face. We were all a little sad to see him have to shave... so the night he shaved it off we took some pictures. Grace especially is not a fan of him shaving off his "beard." She has informed God in her prayers, "I wanted you to give Daddy the other job, the one where he can have a beard." (we aren't exactly sure what job she is referring to) The girls are also missing having their daddy home all day. And I will admit I too have been spoiled by having my best friend home all day to spend time with. But, we are very thankful he has a job and we knew it would initially be an adjustment for everyone.
Our "one last picture" with Daddy's facial hair.
We had a "party" for daddy to celebrate his new job. We made a big meal and special treat for him. Doesn't he look younger with a clean shaven face?
We have also been dealing with the flu. Faith had it, then Grace got it, then Faith got it AGAIN. Then Jeremy got very sick and had to miss his 3rd day of work! Then I got the flu on Friday and had to survive a very difficult sick day while trying to take care of the girls. (Did I mention Grace started school on Thursday- more on that in another post...) And with a new baby on the way I'd say we are in for even more "new."
Despite the challenges and lots of changes we are excited for this new beginning. And it is interesting hearing all the things Jeremy is learning about pest control. He has got to see some very nice "HGTV" type homes, and some huge factories that remind him of the show "Unwrapped" on the Food Network. For someone who isn't a big fan of change I think God has brought me to a place of being ready for these changes. And I didn't think there was anything that would make me wish the baby would wait to come- but after this week I am VERY thankful the baby is still content to "cook" a little longer.
