Three Years

Hard to believe, but today is three years for Eric and I! My, how time flies! I find it interesting how all the job changes are occurring right around this milestone... maybe a sign of what's to come?? Who knows...

Ironically, Eric had to go out of town today... to Florida. His last trip to Florida for Kite, though. Never thought we'd see that day! I think it's kind of bittersweet for him, though... he's made a lot of friends a built a lot of good relationships with people down there. But everyone he's told of the job change and what his new job entails has be super supportive and excited for him. Even the people with Kite, which was a bit of a surprise to both of us.

Looking back at the last three years, though, shows a lot of tough hurdles for us to get over, which we did. There was job loss, home sale, lots of work travel, just to name a few. Honestly, this seemingly 'normal life' we're about to embark on will be a new hurdle for us - we've never had normalcy in our lives together! He's been traveling since we've been together and his daily job stress had become our normalcy... what's it going to be like when he's actually home every night? In the meantime, my job stress is going to go us with my new responsibilities, though more to a normal level in my industry, I guess. The question that comes to mind is, can we be normal?

Well, here's to three years passed and, hopefully, many more to come in this new normalcy of life. And don't worry... we're celebrating our anniversary tomorrow night with a nice dinner out. If it's one thing we're learned over the past three years, it's how to adjust to make things work.
