Today is Wednesday, October 29th and my stomach is in knots. Logan and I dropped Trey off at the airport bright and early (merely a figure of speech as it was not bright but frosty and foggy). Trey is flying to Austin, TX as I type for his hiring conference. The conference doesn't actually begin until Friday at noon but Trey wanted time to explore Austin and cram for the interviews. He will be in workshops through the weekend and will interview with 10-11 companies Monday and Tuesday. I felt like I was walking a tightrope last night. I wanted to be cool, calm, & collected for Trey but also felt a pressing need to remind him to not say "fixin to" and to not get distracted by Austin. I can tell he is nervous and excited. He repeated himself over and over the past couple of days and has destroyed the garage. I'll have to focus on entertaining Logan over the next 7 days so I don't get bogged down with anxiety. AGHHH!

I am excited to learn what companies he is interviewing with to begin to have areas to research and brainstorm. I have 2 1/2 weeks left at my job which is very bittersweet. I'm sad to say goodbye to my clients and coworkers but ready to focus on being a mom. I'll admit that it is frightening to move away from the career I have worked so hard to enter. Part of me is scared about transitioning into a new identity outside of the professional arena. My hope is that this insecurity will be washed away after a few months of enjoying more time with my kid. We'll see...stay tuned for possible crises!?
