When I started this particular blog back in 2011 things were very different for my family. We lived in Los Alamos, and I had a full-time job as a chemist. Danny was still finishing up his PhD. Zoe was only 4!
Now in 2014 we live in Phoenix, Danny has a postdoc at Arizona State University, and I'm the one working from home. Zoe has been in public school since Kindergarten, and her current school is excellent. It would take a LOT of adversity for me to take her out of public school and do homeschool.
We were only "supposed" to live in AZ for a couple of years. Danny's postdoc was funded for 2 years for sure. Now we have lived in AZ for two+ years, and Danny has an NSF fellowship with another 3 years of funding at ASU. Hopefully we will be able to stay in AZ until Zoe finishes 5th grade.
I find that time is passing more quickly as I get older. Summer is half over already, and my kiddo will be in 3rd grade soon! I know the fall is going to pass quickly. It seems amazing how different life is now, and yet I often don't even think about it, and I feel the same as I did 10 years ago! I'm 32 this year! I'm starting to have trouble recalling my exact age! I know I'm somewhere in my 30s. What does it matter?
