I am just amazed at how blessed I am. It shocks me sometimes as I wonder why God has been so gracious to me. Here's a rundown of unexpected blessings this year:
I had an awesome boss during training and I have an awesome boss now. After 2 years of not so great bosses at my old job, I appreciate them all the more. Both of them were incredibly supportive of me as a new mother, helping me to get an extended maternity leave and giving me a lot of flexibility. I have also been assigned one of the better technologies (antennas). It's one of the most straightforward and well-organized technologies here, so it makes my work pretty easy in comparison to some of my co-workers. And now that I am back at work (just started on Monday), I have my own office! Most people have to wait until they are Primary Examiners to get their own office. I thought I was going to get an office mate when the next new person came in, but I just found out that they are putting her in the office 3 doors down from me! It's really really nice because I am pumping milk right now, and so having a private space is a must. Otherwise, I'd have to pump in a bathroom stall. I thought maybe my boss somehow knew I was going to be pumping and arranged the offices this way, but I never mentioned that to him...
All this to add to the fact that I live a mere 15 minute walk from the office, work at the same place as my husband and get to have lunch with him, have a beautiful baby that is growing and thriving and already sleeps through the night, and have my mother here helping to take care of the baby. How many people have it this good?
All I can say is Thanks be to God.
