Working from Home

Over the past two years, I worked as the Office Manager for Erickson Family Dental Center. I loved this job! It was perfect for me and yes, I miss it! I know I am a freak but desk work and paperwork are my favorite! I love that sort of thing. I worked there for a year and a half and would probably still be working there if I didn't have such a huge change in my life recently.

Don't get me wrong, I love love love staying at home with Bailey! There is nothing else I would rather be doing, even paperwork. I would not change the opportunity to be a stay at home mother for the world. I am very grateful that Seth and I were able to financially work it out so I can be at home with her every day, as I should be. There is no other more important job for me to be doing now than staying at home and cuddling her.

Over the past few years, Seth and I have brainstormed how I could continue to work full time while staying at home with our children, and him, out at the ranch. It was hard to find a job that sounded so perfect. After much consideration and hard work, I am on the last leg of getting a job as a Medical Coder and Biller from home! I will be able to work out at the ranch in my own little office. I am so excited to be working in the medical field, as was always my dream, and not have to drive to town every day.

We are getting internet installed tomorrow and I will take the final test for my Medical Coding course next week. After that, I will have some national certification tests and then job hunting is next! There is still a lot of work, and studying to do, but the knowledge that Seth and I (and Bailey) will soon be living our dream at the ranch is the best feeling ever!

We were able to bless Bailey last month. She was so beautiful in her white princess dress! Seth did amazing and the Spirit was so strong as he gave her the most perfect blessing! We are grateful to have her in our lives and to have the Gospel to teach us how to be the best parents we can be. She is growing up so fast! Next week, she will be two months old. We are not looking forward to her appointment where she will get four shots. Mom will be a mess for sure!

Sounds like she is waking up from her nap... More will come next week!
