Wow….it is ABOUT TIME I finally give this girl some credit!  Kate has been working for me since early February and I’m just now introducing her…geez.

I debated for about 6 months whether or not I wanted to hire someone.  I knew I needed the help desperately, but I was so afraid of committing to a person that would be at my house all the time, around my kids, going through business stuff, etc.  I was so unsure for so long.  But finally, after prayer and talking through it with Dave, I made the plunge.

Best. Decision. Ever.

I have so much more time to be the mom/wife I’ve been wanting to be for the past 2 years….and I haven’t felt overwhelmed with my workload in weeks!  It is so freeing to be able to let go of some control.  And Kate is an editing fool.  I’m so thankful so could just jump right in there from the beginning.  She has even taught me some computer tricks recently (I feel like an old lady for not knowing)!  She is amazing.  She is also one of the cutest, most beautiful people I know.  With an art background, she just has that cool factor about her.

And I want her hair.  Maybe I’m just going through long hair withdrawal….but if she ever falls asleep at my computer, I might consider stealing it.  Did I just type that??

Anyway, she is awesome and such a joy to have around.  Dave jokes that I really hired her just to have a friend come over 3 days a week.  I won’t lie….a quick errand yesterday turned into and hour and a half trip around Austin, detouring at the best burger place EVER….P. Terry’s.  I even ate it again for dinner.

ps….she even drinks coffee out of cool, artsy coffee mugs.  If I was in college, she might just be my idol (ok, so maybe she kinda is anyway).
