1st day at the job

This is a photo David snapped recently of little Lucy Love

Today was Day 1 for David and JJ in the studio at Sputnik Sound in Nashville, and day 1 for me at my new job as nanny for little Lucy. The little one and I are getting reacquainted with one another after a month or so of not seeing each other. She recognizes people's faces and voices a lot more than she used to...especially her momma's. This was problematic today, as she has a bit of separation anxiety. We tried to stay out of line of vision so that Lucy wouldn't get worked up about being in my arms rather than JJ's. Over the course of the day, Lu became more and more comfortable with me. We went across the street, just the two of us-for a swing together, her first one, and by the end of the day, she even fell asleep on me while I lay on the couch. Those were definitely the two highlights of my day :) Can't beat a sleeping child curled up close to you!

Tomorrow promises to be even more of a bonding experience, and the next, and the next!

We have the video camera with us, so be sure to check in on JJ's website shortly for a video journal. We'll get one up eventually.

What I know....

Sooooo....since the last time I blogged, a bit has changed in the destination department. Such as, I don't really know what, or more specifically where, the next nine months are going to take me or look like...AT ALL. Nashville is not a for sure thing anymore since the housing is now more affordable on the West coast. I could be moving to California....northern or southern, or possibly be in Arizona. There is a lot up in the air, as far as the location of where I will call home for the next nine months. It will be an adventure no matter what, that's for sure!

Here's what I do know:

-As of today, I am no longer employed by Outward Bound.
-Through the end of May I will be nannying for my beautiful niece, Lucy.
-I am not a huge fan of change or transition, and both are happening in full force in my life right now.
-I have lived in a beautiful state for the last four and a half years, and feel as though I have been able to take full advantage of it's grandeur over my time here in Colorado.







-I am going to miss my community, church, roommates...room, and neighborhood very much.
-Spending the next nine months with my niece, brother and sister in law is going to be a really special experience.
-I know God is walking beside me every step of the way!


I am going to try to blog more often in the days to come, as I begin this new season of life as a nanny/booking agent/roadie for JJ Heller. Feel free to stop by periodically to see what state we just came from, and where we might be going next!
