Johns 35th birthday

Today is Johns 35th birthday...Friday night we celebrated his birthday at Pappadeaux's with our good friends, Devon & Glenn Daigle. Today John and I are going to see the movie 2012 and then have a nice dinner at Carrabba's.

New job

On Monday, November 2nd, I started a new job at Argo Surety as an Underwriting Assistant. This position literally fell in my lap. LOL...This wonderful opportunity came to my by Q-temps, an insurance recruiting firm. The commute is 10 miles from home and takes me around 30 minutes in the morning. In January, they are relocating to a new building, which will be 3 miles from home.

After being home with Matthew for the past 14 months, I felt confident returning to the working world. We hired a nanny to take care of Laurynn & Matthew instead of placing them in daycare.

I'm learning a lot about the surety business and insurance bonds. I work with a staff of 7 (including me), which is quite different from working at Travelers when I worked with a team of 45 people.

I look forward to being a permanent employee within 90 days.
