An exciting new adventure begins today.

Mmm hmm.

I'm excited!

I'm happy!

Truth be told, I'm even a little bit nervous.

Today is my first day at a new job that will take me back into the business world that I was laid off from nearly two and a half years ago. I've been looking to get back into an administrative job role for a loooooong time now, and with this challenging economy, it's been a slow, long search.

I've missed not getting to wear some of my cute shoes (standing for long periods on a hard floor at a bank isn't conducive to wearing four inch heels, you know...) and I'm anxious to begin the routine that a regular eight-to-five kind of job offers.

I feel like it's the first day of school, full of anticipation of all that this new adventure will offer. I've packed my lunch, and I'm ready to go....wish me luck!

    How are you going to decide which shoes to pull out first and then the outfit to match, oh my!! I hope everyday feels like the first day of school. Currently looking myself and yes, it is very challenging out there. I'm sure you'll be back in your element in no time. Congrats!
