The New Look of the Devescovi's for 2010

Well...where the heck have I been? Not sure, but a lot sure has happened here in casa de Devescovi.

My husband is no longer a Chilihead! 19 years a million hours of work and he has changed careers. Thank you Lord! Right now he is training, but he will be going out on assignments whenever there is a major catastrophe to be the liaison between the insurance company and the homeowner. It will require lots of travel and extended periods when he is away from us...but when he is home it is 24 hours a day! It is really fantastic right now. He has been home since Christmas Eve (his first that he didn't have to work) and I LOVE having him home. I never knew what I was missing before...but, boy was I missing a lot. Now, I have a partner to help me with the kids, errands, decisions, cooking, chores. We really make a pretty incredible team! He calms me and I don't feel half as stressed as I used to.

Yes, it will be another adjustment when he leaves, but so worth it to have him home way more than we ever have before.

It was a pretty scary leap of faith at first, but God has shown us in so many ways that this is the right decision and he continues to amaze us with his provisions.

In other news, I am filling out financial aid forms to start online classes next fall...will do a year of prerequisites and then probably go to school for nursing. When the kids are all in school I want to do something outside the home, but still be able to volunteer and be there for them. Nurses here work 2-3 days a week and make a decent wage...and in another life I had planned on majoring in pre-med...so it seems to be circling back around. I think I'll enjoy it, there's always a need, and after working a year or two I can go back to school to be a nurse practitioner.

Well, who knows when I will post again....so, until then...
