Today marks one year that my husband and I officially moved to Seattle. The last 365 days have had its ups and downs for sure.

Space Needle. Duh.

What has happened, then and now?

One year ago today, I sort of had a job. I was telecommuting part-time for my employer back in California, and not knowing if I could continue or not. I was nervous about the future of my career, since that job ended on June 30. I ended up temping for a major company in Seattle before securing a permanent (hah!) position with my old company.

Today, I find myself on leave with the same employer (but at the Seattle regional office). However, this job is ending August 1. I’m getting laid off before my leave is up. Yay. Again, I find myself wondering what I will do now.

One year ago today, it was just me, my husband and our two fur babies.

Today, it is me, my husband, our two fur babies, and a human baby.

So, in a nutshell, it feels like life has come full circle. I’m pretty much back to where I started, only feeling more stressed out because there is one more mouth to feed. Just when I thought I was back on track, I’ve gone back off the track.

I do love a challenge, but wow, this is a doozy. I’ll post an update in another 365 days and hopefully be able to laugh at the senseless worry I’m going through right now. I hope.
