Real Job

Ok, so I had a "real" job before but it was extremely cyclical. So cyclical that it was easy to keep up with my blog; something that I really enjoy doing. But throughout 2010 I got the opportunity to illustrate a book cover for Paul Pantleo, am going to illustrate a second book cover, and by the end of 2011 will have also illustrated 1 if not 2 children's books. Weeeeeee for me! I also changed from being Executive Administrative Assistant to the President of PACCAR Financial in February 2010 to being Senior Marketing Specialist. It has been an awesome job with all kinds of graphic projects, opportunity to lead projects with our websites, and responsiblity galore but between it and Paul I have had little time to do much else.

I have definitely had to reprioritize what I wanted from my life and have made every effort I could to not have it affect my family and most definitely not effect Padon and Sophia. It dawned on me that of the maybe 96 years (following in my great grandfather's steps) I would live that I would only have 18 years to really be in my kids lives and to have an influence on what happened to them. What a handful of cherished moments. I would be a fool to let those years go by without a ton of hugs and kisses and support and self esteem boosting.

And so to my record of Warren family events and wonderful moments; I'm sorry, but entries are not going to match dates. Heck it is now 4 days from February 1st and I haven't made an entry since November(?) and I have a back log of posts to make. I'm trying hard to keep up though. I don't want to peter off. Catch-up time!
