New City + same job!

God is so good! I mean seriously, he always provides...he even has hisway of giving fun gifts or surprises!
When we move to Austin in October I was planning on staying at home. I wanted some good quality time with my boy! Parker got 3 years of only child. Liam has had one year of...well I can't even remember that year. We were stressed about moving to Houston and it was a big blur. And then this past year has been much better but I still feel like I'm missing out on my boy. So when we move Tanner & I had decided I would stay home with Liam while Parker goes to Kinder. We prayed about it and thought a lot about it but we were and still are content with me staying at home OR going to work if money was needed. Either way I wanted to stay home a couple months while we get unpacked and find a daycare for Liam and then see where the future takes us.
Well the day came where I needed to tell my boss I was moving and quitting. During the conversation I had an idea pop in my head and just made a slight comment (we joke around a lot)...he smiled and said "yeah, wouldn't that be nice" and went on with the day. The comment I made was "I could always work from home (in Austin) and keep my current position". I thought about it more and more and went home to talk to Tanner about it. He loved the idea and thought I should say something. So yesterday I had a meeting with my boss and laid out my plan. I clearly do 98% of my job from my computer. The other 2% is an office must BUT I work with some lovely ladies who agreed to do that part for me. This time he was super excited and said "I think this could work". So within the last 24 hours he has talked to other supervisors, his boss and the HR boss and got approvals from everyone!!! What?? What?? Is this really happening?!?! I love my job! It's very easy yet rewarding. Mainly because I work with an awesome group and also I honest to goodness love to work. BUT I also want to stay home with Liam and enjoy him.
So now the decision has been sent to Legal to work everything out. Praise God! The other part of this deal, which we haven't worked out specifics yet, is I might have to come in to the Midland office every so often. And this will be somewhat nice to come to see my family and friends as well.
As for the house they are about to start sheetrock. Right now they are in the process of getting all the required approvals before the sheetrock phase. Everyday we get more excited!
