1000 Miles Per Hour-That is how fast the world actually spins on its axis. It was also the title of my mother's favorite soap opera show when I was a child. Finally, it is also about how fast I feel these past few months have gone since my last post. I hate that it has been that long as I really enjoy writing this blog for as much as I hope it helps others out there, it has been very beneficial for both myself and my family.
What Have We Been Up To Lately?
Well since my last post we welcomed two beautiful girls into our lives on April 24th. Liliana Margaret and Madelyn Rose were brought into this world by their beautiful mother about 15 minutes apart. They have been a complete blessing to our lives and we constantly amazed at how lucky we are to have these little blessings. Thus these girls are also the reason I have not been able to write as much as I would have love to recently. I would love to attempt to write about their daily lives and progress, but you would be much better reading Sarah's blog about our girls to find out about that. You can find her blog at http://sarahhession6.blogspot.com/ for all the latest updates on our girls. Let's just say from my standpoint we have been really busy!! My hope is to have new blogs in the near future reflecting on the first few months of our lives with the girls from a dad's point of view and their are too many experiences to sum up in this one blog.
New Career Opportunity
Shortly between bringing Maddie (Madelyn) home from the NICU and traveling back and forth to see Lily (Liliana), I received a call from my superintendent asking to meet with me one day while I was home with the girls. I was caught a little off guard by the request and I think Sarah's comment was, "You aren't going to get fired are you?" Well no I didn't get fired, in fact I was offered a new exciting opportunity to become the next Director of Finance of the school corporation. This was a position I had always dreamed of moving into one day, I just never thought it would happen this soon. After some discussion between Sarah and I over the new expectations and job requirements, I accepted the position and moved into the role on July 1st. It has been a crazy transition, but one that I have enjoyed and look forward to continuing.
What's Next?
My hope is to pick back up with my writing and sharing of being a dad of multiples and the challenges that it brings. We knew we would go through some stressful times, but to be honest in many ways what we thought would be our biggest challenges have not been as much and others have been much more challenging than we ever could have thought. However, it is through these ups and downs that I hope to share what we have learned and continue to learn as we walk through this path of life.
