Alexis Senge JohnsonHello blogosphere, I’ve missed you! I know it has been far too long and I disappeared a bit like a flighty fling you were hoping to turn into a real relationship. Didn’t mean to drop you like a bad habit, but I’ll admit I let life get in the way.

Since its been so many months, you can image that a lot has changed in my world as I’m sure it has in yours. Without further delay here’s the Cliff Notes version that I’m sure I’ll expand upon later. After more than 2.5 years we finally learned at the end of 2014 why the process of getting pregnant seemed impossible for us (yeah my fault – darn PCOS), underwent fertility treatments and welcomed G to the family in late 2015.
G, welcome to this crazy world.
I was blessed to be the Maid of Honor for the wedding of my dearest friend in early 2015. My husband was then cast in one of his biggest dream roles that same summer and enjoy each moment of his return to the stage. In addition, he joined the massage team at Cirque du Soleil and we both started a new adventure working as distributors with It Works! Global.
If all of that wasn’t enough, I worked in 4 different locations doing 4 different jobs with my company in 2015 and began in my fifth as I returned from maternity leave. Thankfully, after 3.5 years of working seasonally and on temporary assignments, this time the job offer was full time so I can breathe easy knowing I’ve got a permanent job and health insurance for all of us. The offer came mere weeks before my maternity leave began, so the timing couldn’t have been better. A few months later I was transferred back to an area I loved and given a chance to continue growing in the world of live events.
Through it all, friends have come and friends have gone. We’ve learned quickly who our true friends are and hold them even closer to our hearts. They are an extension of our family, especially for me since I don’t really have siblings. I can’t imagine my life without some and wouldn’t ever want to.
It’s been a wild hiatus that I’ve taken from this blog but now, after dipping my toe back in the water a bit recently, I’m finally ready to return and face the world with humor and inquisitive wonder once again. Hope you’re prepared to rejoin me along the way as you never know what each post will hold. Whether you’ve made your presence known or just joined as a lurker of the years, it’s always been a delight to have you along the way. Welcome back!
