Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Back to the Office I Go

Today is my first day of this new phase of my life. (I know, I feel like I say that every two weeks around here…) But this time it’s true! And longer term. You see, when we decided it was time for me to move on from my most recent job, a position I’d been at for five years, we knew as much I as I wish I could just sit at home with Tate and blog all day, that wasn’t going to pay for the kids’ college. So I will be spending most of my working hours as the Marketing Director for a certain IT company that has a super cute owner…this guy:

Trent is a genius at what he does, and I think I do pretty okay myself (I worked my way up from assistant to head of marketing at my old job), but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. Mixing work and home life is hard, and I have made a big point to stay out of Trent’s business as much as possible…until now. Now we won’t only be a couple, but he will be my boss. Those can be tricky waters to navigate.

Of course, it doesn’t help that I’m a Class A worrier and he’s the exact opposite. I’ve been fretting over how this whole thing was going to go for a month now, while he seems to be taking everything pretty much in stride. One of my big goals for 2013 is to be open to what life throws at me and do the best I can with the situations I am in, instead of worrying about things I can’t change. So wish me luck, as this new journey begins! And if you see my boss around town, tell him to give his cute Marketing Director a kiss. (But not at the office, that would be weird.)
