So, when I originally started this blog, Alan and I said we'd do it together. Um, yeah right. I should have known better. What guy wants to sit down and right about how he is feeling and what is going on his life?? Duh! So, since all posts have been from me, and in great part, about me, I figured I'd do a quick catch-up on my handsome hubby.
Most of our family knows (at least I think) but Alan started a new job on December 1st. It was, and still is, exciting and nervous for both of us. The entire time we've been together we've worked for the same company, in the same department. Never more than 1 minute away from each other. We both love it here are Visa. However, about 6 months ago we found out that the team Alan was working on was going to be going away. They were going to outsource that portion of the work. While sad, Alan was able to secure a position within another team in our same department that he would start once his current job completed. So, we were ok. Then during the process of Alan's team transitioning items over to a new company Alan was approached for this new opportunity. This new company wanted to talk to him about maybe making a move with them. After 1-2 interviews he was offered the job. It was a hard decision for us to make. Visa is great to work for and we have both loved our jobs here. Alan was paid well and fairly and enjoyed his work. But this new job would provide new growth opportunities and give him a challenge he had been missing. So, after some salary negotiations, he accepted the new job offer. He accepted the job as Operations Manager for a company in Draper.
So, last week was his first week there. The first day, he was a bit overwhelmed. As most are on their first day of a new job. The second day though, he was a rockstar, as I expected. :) He is so incredibly smart and motivated, there is no possible way he wouldn't do amazingly well at this new job and responsibility. I am so excited for him in this new job and what it will bring him. I just hope I can figure out how to be at work without him now. :) By end of day on Friday, I was missing him soooo much! I think I took for granted being able to see or chat with my hubby any time of the day. By Friday night I just wanted him to hold me and be close to him. Let's hope I cope with this week better, lol! :)
So besides my super smart man getting this new job, he is also kicking butt in school. I am so proud of him for making the step to go back to try to help better our family life down the road. He's just about to finish up his first semester and has loved it so far. He is definitely an overachiever, and he won't allow himself to not get an A on something. He studies and works so hard, making sure he understands what he needs to and also spends time studying with his brother too. He has been so very busy the last few months and deserves so much more than I can give him sometimes. He goes to work before 7:00 AM, leaves 2 days a week to go to school, then is at school until 8:00. His non-school days he is either working late or doing homework. Plus he adjusted fantastically to the news of our baby on the way on top of all that other stuff. I have decided that if our little man turns into his daddy exactly, it would be one terrific thing. :) What a great husband he is, my best friend, and I know he will make an amazing daddy. He's one of those things I can think about at any time and it just makes me smile and happy :)
