Well, Tara posted, so I guess I should follow suit. There is a lot to tell anyways. My little girl finally made her way into the world. It was a long and exhausting labor, but worth every minute. Shawn and Mom were great coaches, and I was glad to have them both there with me. I never would have had the optimism to make it through alone. I only wish that Gram could have been around long enough to meet her. It's so frustrating that she missed her by only a couple of weeks. I know she got to see her anyways, but I would have loved to have seen the light in her eyes when she got to meet her first great grandchild.
Our world is starting to turn upside down again. I had an interview at RIT in the Computer Science department for an Academic Advisor position. I think it went well. It is only a temporary, one year position for right now with the potential of becomming a permanent position next year. I also have another interview this tuesday at the Saunders College of Business at RIT for an Academic Advisor position. I am very hopeful about that position. I would be working with all of the same people that I worked with before, and I would be on familiar territory. It would be a nice change from the bank. A little slower pace with a lot more flexibility in schedule.
Shawn has an interview for a gaming job in Massachusettes coming up. That was bitter sweet news for me. It is a great opportunity for him to do something he loves, and for me to jump start my career as well (better job economy in MA), but it would break my heart to leave the family behind now that we have Brynn. I guess we will just have to wait and see how that turns out.
I have to cut this off abruptly because the duty of motherhood calls (aka Brynn is screaming for her mommy). I will keep you posted on how everything works out. Everything does work out in the end...if it doesn't, then it's not the end. I am keeping that quote in mind as Steve battles through his health issues as well.

I guess I had to get unselfish and realize if this is Shawn's dream job he has to pursue it. I guess the little mommy is finally growing up. I think the only thing that would take the pain of losing gram away would be Brynn's birth. I miss gram like crazy at times( never thought I'd say that) but seeing Brynn makes me so happy. I love her to pieces. Good work mom( and dad but this is your blog!)
