Am I still Audit Mama?
Okay.. I question whether I have to change my blog name because I am in the middle of transitioning jobs. I chose Audit Mama because I'm currently Auditing for a CPA firm in my hometown, but starting next week I'll be an Office Manager for an opthomology practice. Hmm.. whether it requires a name change or not, I'm hoping this new job will be a better fit for me both personally and professionally.
I've met some truly wonderful people here at the firm, and I know we'll keep in touch. My new friends here wouldn't have in any other way. I don't know that I could have made it through this past year if it hadn't been for Donna and Judy. Both caring, compassionate women who have befriended me and became my confidants. I will truly miss them both! God knew what he was doing placing us all here at the same time together. It was for such a time as this. I am so thankful for you two. God Bless you!
Please pray for me as I transition to this new job and more responsibility. Also that I would learn the new tasks quickly and efficiently. Thanks for your prayers!
Just to give an update, Kevin has changed shifts now and is working 4 - 10 hour days and has 3 days off each week, which is nice. However, he's still on 2nd shift.. so we're still praying for an opening soon!

16 MONTHS AND FINALLY WALKING!!
Okay, for all you fans and friends who have missed me blogging... Sorry! I've been a little busy and anxiously awaiting this time when I could blog about him walking on his own. Believe it or not he took his first walk on his own outside our house from our car to the mailbox and back. We live in a townhouse development so that's pretty far. He's been loving being outside since the weather has improved so much and allowed us to get him outdoors. He loves watching the kids play and walking around the neighborhood. If you can't tell from the picture his hair has become quite curly, it's adorable and I struggle with whether to cut it or not. Although the back is so curly it's a little Albert Einsteinish.. But still cute.. I'm so very proud of him and now the fun of corraling him to where he can go safely begins.. :) He's such an explorer.. he loves checking things out and figuring out how to take it apart.. That's my little guy!! :) Big guy and I are enjoying this time watching him grow and realizing how far he's come. All I can say is Wow!
As for us as a family, we are doing well. Big Guy is still on second shift.. still awaiting an opportunity for first shift, but we're waiting patiently on God's timing for that. We miss each other during the week, but now that tax season is over, I am back to being able to go home at lunch time when I'm not at a client, which is wonderful.. I get to see both Big and Little guy for my hour and spend some time chatting with Big Guy. I'm looking forward to the possibility of working less hours over the summer, but please pray that I'll have favor with my work and that they'll allow me to alter my schedule.
We are planning little vacations this year.. we're taking Little Guy on his first camping trip this summer in August. I can't wait.. Okay, not your typical camping maybe, but we love it.. we're renting a cabin, with a bathroom mind you, and air conditioning.. and the campground has a fantastic pool with a water slide.. as well as amusement park rides.. but to us it's camping.. :)
I can't wait to hear from all my bloggy friends.. I promise to keep this more updated now that I'll have a little more time. :)
God Bless you all!!
