Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
--Khalil Gibran
I have been married since September 30th, 2000, which means I am old. I grew up in Michigan, near Detroit, briefly lived in Madison, WI for 7 months in '06-'07, and now reside just outside of Minneapolis. Since our marriage began, Craig and I have moved 5 times (two of which were long distance moves), bought and sold our first house, and tried and failed to have kids.
Here in Minnesota, I've found a new raison d'etre. I was hired at Pier 1 on 7/17/07 and immediately felt at home. I'm learning and exercising my talents in many ways. After only a month, I was asked if I would like to be Assistant Manager. There were 4 others hired the same time I was, and my store manager asked ME! I am thrilled to be with a company that I have so much to offer and which also has so much to offer me. I'm looking forward to living out this time as both homemaker and assistant manager. Each job makes me better at the other.
My husband now works for the Big Yellow Price Tag that is Best Buy at the Mothership (Corporate Campus) here in Minnesota. He *hearts* his job and I *heart* spending money. It is a good arrangement.
