Oh, hello there!

Hi there blog world!!  What the heck happened to me?!  Being a mom is what happened.  It's the best and most time sucking job in the world (I say this with all the love in my heart!)

Truthfully, being a mom rocks.  I know that it doesn't work for everyone, but I'm so appreciative that my husband and I moved to Texas to have the opportunity for me to stay home to raise our family when we started one.  Seeing my daughter and watching her grow every day is something I treasure.

We stay pretty busy between having grandparents visit and travel of our own, play dates, my occasionally watching other kids.  Besides having an almost 2 year old we also have had our 15 year old nephew living with us the last year and a half.  There's a story there itself, which may be shared in a more appropriate manner at another time.

We began trying to expand our family around our daughter's first birthday and did get pregnant very quickly.  This pregnancy also ended quickly, around 5/6 weeks.  Not long after that we experienced a second early miscarriage.  These are also stories to share in more detail later.  We found out last into last summer that we again were expecting.  I'm halfway through a very healthy pregnancy with a very active little brother reminding me all day long that he's in there growing.  He should arrive the end of May.

With our second kiddo on the way, we've been getting all those house projects checked off our list that we've had going since we moved in 2 weeks before our first was born.  I'm trying hard (because pregnancy brain is real y'all!) to remember to take photos to share of all the stuff we've been up to.

I'm in a place now, with little miss being almost 2 that I feel I can finally get some stuff going again.  We'll see how that keeps up come May!!

Coming Soon . . .

working things out for my new blog!! for now i've got some of my favorite posts/topics from the previous blog imported.

GONE BUT NOT FOR GOOD

I'm taking a little break from blogging. I have a few things other things I should give my attention to right now and want to take some time to refocus on what and how I want to share things here. Thanks to those who check in here every now and then. I'll be back in awhile!

CHECKING OUT ....

We will be out and about the next few weeks here and there doing a lot of "vacation" and some other important stuff too : )

BRB

If you've been looking for a new post lately there has been none. The holidays have been kicking my butt with more hours at work, parties, having family in town, etc. All which are very good things and have been thoroughly enjoyed, but has left me a little run down and allowed some kind of icky green snot monster to invade my system.

Will be taking the next couple weeks to...
- manage my way through the last week of 2010 work, visiting, etc
- let my health system reboot -- lots of water and vitamins for this chick!
- hopefully have readjusted work schedules that give Chad and I some weekend time that don't include having to catch up on sleep, we might even make it to a movie past 7 pm!
- pull out the card table and make some more goodies, had have great success with the stores selling for me : )

See you in a few weeks!
