One Year Ago...

Today is the first anniversary of the beginning of my career with Harris. On occasion, it still seems a bit unreal how much change has happened in our lives over the last year.

I remember sitting in the orientation program last September 17th. Not knowing anyone in the room, living in an unfamiliar town, in an apartment (I hadn't lived in one of those since 1988)...it was such a long way from our cozy house in Virginia and my 20 year career of government service that we had left behind just days before.

Now we are in a great home, in a growing community, and have met a couple of neighbors who have similar family situations. My job is going great, I have made friends and colleagues, and many people have told me they are glad I'm part of the team. Brian and Sean (and even Colin, although he doesn't quite grasp it all yet) are loving their school room at home. And Cindy has made several good friends through church and homeschooling connections. We've even found a super babysitter!

So all in all, it's been a fabulous first year. Looking forward to many more!
