A lot of new

2012 has been the year of change for me and my family! Each month several new and exciting opportunities have presented themselves and it's only March! Last month Justin decided to take on a new job and move us to Daytona Beach. So within a few weeks we found a new place to live, packed up our live's in boxes again and loaded a truck to our new destination! We are finally unpacked and somewhat settled. I was extremely excited to move, not only would I be closer to my mom but I would have more of an opportunity to be present with building our new business For the Girls

I also decided to make few more life changers when we moved:
  1.  It was time for Everly to branch out, meet new friends, start learning and acquiring some independence from mom and dad.
  2. I wanted a new job, one that was flexible and would allow me to network for the shop, meet new people in my new town, cover Everly's school and bring in some fun money a long the way. 
And the search began! After much googling I started to bookmark schools I wanted to visit. A lot of research, several tours and a few recommendations later I found Everly her first school! I wanted a daycare that had a curriculum and much needed structure and I am very happy with the decision we made! 

On to life changer #2, I was looking for some new advertising and networking opportunities for the shop, again  a lot of time on google and a few Facebook searches when I came across a most interesting opportunity. I found Floridian View, a magazine I was not familiar with but I knew I wanted to get  For the Girls involved in some way. After learning more about the magazine I found out it was only a year old, a start up company by a group of young professionals wanting to showcase their community in a different way. After liking them on Facebook I noticed they had a job opening and jumped at the chance to submit my resume. A few emails later I had an interview the week after we moved. As soon as I met with them I knew it would be a perfect fit and apparently so did they since I was offered the job on the spot. It all worked out so perfectly.

So while Justin continues to work hard at his new job, Everly and I start our new jobs Monday, April 2. Change can be a challenge but I gladly except the challenge and looking forward to the new experience!
