Today we took Sofia to her first children's birthday party. After three months on the road, I feel as though our lives are starting to come back to normal. The piles of mail have been taken care of, laundry is not quite there yet, there are boxes to be put away and an auction event to plan. Still unemployed, our sense of normalcy is questionable. We are making the best of it. The experience of spending this summer together, gave us a new perspective on our lives and who we are. Untapped skills were discovered, new people were met and the possibilities of the next step are endless. With my skills in PR and journalism and Roberto's skills in operations, PR and administration I believe we will be OK. For those out there who are on the same boat, be strong and continue to shape your skills and network, network, network. Make use of the obligatory "time off" to better yourself and open the door to places you never thought of looking. You never know where your next job lies. This is the summer that changed us as a family and when visions of cracker jacks and seventh inning stretches start dancing in my head, I say "there's always postseason." that's my new normal.
