Yet more changes ahead...

I don't need to tell most of you this, but having two kids and a demanding job is hard. What makes it work? Having a supportive spouse willing to shoulder the domestic burden.

I leave my house (running to catch the bus) at 8:10 and get home on a normal day at 7:15 (after running to catch the bus). At least once every few weeks I work at the office until 10 or 11. More often than that, I bring work home and work for a few hours after the kids go to bed. I could not do what I do without the support of my amazing husband. He cooks, cleans, makes sure our girls are fed and properly clothed, manages our finances, and stocks the toilet paper. Plus, he works a fair amount himself on top of that. I often hear at work (usually from a secretary) "I have no idea how you do what you do" and my reply is always "I have an awesome husband". To be honest, I have no idea how he does what HE does.

(I'm so thankful to be married to this man. For SO many reasons.)

Things are about to shake up in the Thomason house. Starting in September, he's going to be employed full time - part time at his current job and part time teaching Bible classes at a local private high school. This is a BIG answer to a LOT of prayer. He's been substitute teaching here for 3 semesters, and has declined to apply for a job anywhere else because this is THE job for him. He's just been waiting for an opening.

This is great - in so many ways - for our family, but it will definitely shake up our system. I will do what I can to help (this will involve me getting a car so I can cut my commuting time in half) but unfortunately BigLaw is not conducive to leaving at 5:00 every day (oh, that it were...). So unfortunately the lion's share of the work is going to continue to fall on my sweet husband. It's going to be an adjustment for us. I know we will be fine, and I know my amazing husband will continue to be amazing... I just have no idea how he's going to do it all.

Pray for us!
