So many changes!
-
2014 is starting off with a bang (or is it a thud?).
Fully expecting to be back at work at the beginning of April, life took a turn when I was given the option of redeploying to another position with the company (meaning a pay cut in a year plus having to go back to working evenings/weekends), or taking a severance package. I opted for the package.
The package has almost been like freedom. I plan to spend at least part of the summer at home with the kids (until Michael starts Kindergarten - whaaaat!?).
And now, I am officially a student again. I enrolled today in my first course towards my CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional) designation. A big change of career ahead for me, but I feel very positive. Who thought someday I'd have letters after my name (haha)?
The best part of all? I am going to be riding again starting in 2 weeks! I found a lovely barn and a great instructor just 20 minutes from my house. I went to look at the place last week and met everyone. I am really excited. Just a small place (8 stalls! LOL), very family-oriented (although they do go to shows as well). I'll try and get pictures if I can convince my hubby to come watch haha -
Wow! That is a lot of changes, but it sounds like the good outweighs the shake-up. Good luck with the career change and congratulations on the chance to start riding again.

Sounds awesome! Amazing how something's that seem so scary at the time can turn out so good.

So, I am working through my first course - exam is July 7th. So far so good.
In other news, my first lesson is booked for June 7th! So excited I could burst. Apparently my old boots no longer fit (after 2 kids and 50 lbs). So I had to go buy new boots. Went with paddock boots and half chaps this time (but spent the money and got Ariat's). Have ridden in field boots forever so this is a (pretty small) change for me. Then of course I had to get new breeches, gloves, crop, etc...haha. Nothing like a tack store shopping spree!
Hopefully hubby will take pics for me (if the kids behave).
