after months of bemoaning the rut my relationship has seemingly fallen into, there finally seems to be some movement in the tectonic plates. stan has asked me to work for iStore and i have graciously accepted. i hope that's chinese for "i love you and will marry you soon." we still have to work out the details but i'm psyched to know that he's somehow made a move to make me a fixture in his life. knowing that we're moving forward, even if it's at the slowest snail's pace is better than nothing at all.
so there. new year, new job, new life.
i still want to keep the door open to my old life as a safety net so i've agreed to work part time as a teacher still. i'll work most mornings of the week as an art teacher and in the afternoons, i'll be switching hats as a marketing manager. this might be quite a challenge as the dress code calls for completely different outfits but i think it's time to end my 4 year vacation and be more productive. i miss being stressed out. i miss beating deadlines. and although hugs and kisses from the kids are nice, i miss looking pretty for work. i'm glad i now have the chance to be able do both things i'm passionate about - art, helping kids and being there for stan. believe, me... even if he was a farmer and i had to help plant rice (which isn't fun)
this is probably one of the biggest leaps of faith i've taken in the relationship. i'm keeping my fingers crossed he sees the serendipity in it all and closes the deal.
