Home Sweet Home!

Times are a changin'.  First of all, I am now getting to work at home three days a week and I absolutely love it.  Since 1983 I have work outside of Winchester at various locations which include Richmond, Lexington, and Standford, Kentucky.  However, all my hard work has finally paid off.  I am now working as a paralegal analyst for the federal government and most importantly is the benefit of getting to work at home three days a week.  We bought our home 13 years ago and I have never felt I got to spend all the time I want there.  However, now I finally do get to stay home.  I only have to travel to Lexington two days a week now.  I love being in my home.  It is were I am most comfortable. 

The next change that will be coming up soon is that my son will soon be 18 years old and a high school graduate.  In the fall, he will be leaving to go to college at UK.  I am both scared and excited for this change.  I want to hang on to him and never let him go but realize I cannot do that.  It is time for him to leave the nest and I believe I will be okay with this as long as he comes back from time to time (hopefully more than less).  At least that is what I keep telling myself.  I am excited however to get to know my husband all over again and begin enjoying activities that we have missed out on because we have been so involved in Zach's life.  In addition, I would like to take some classes.  Now don't get excited.  I am not going off to college myself.  Those of you that know me well know that I have never wanted that and still don't but I would like to do some fun things such as a photography class, cooking class, or computer class and maybe even a scrapebooking class.  Or maybe I could just get my home organized.  There are lots of possibilities and I look forward to exploring them.
