So it's been nine-ish months since I've posted anything. Life has taken some crazy turns since then as most people reading this will already know. However, I feel compelled to organize my thoughts about events anyways. So since I last posted in April my small little family has:
- Moved to Tennessee . . . namely speaking in with my parents instead of Nashville as originally planned.
- Started school (for Tony) and became a mostly full time substitute teacher and revisited my swim lesson instructor days (for me)
- Went to a ridiculous amount of festivals including the fall, muscadine grape, and pumpkin.
- Oh, and increased by one! Yes, we had a baby. Way to bury the lead, huh?
- Decided we are moving to Virginia for a job sometime in the next several months.
Life seems very surreal right now. It feels like we are on the edge of an exciting adventure that is just about to begin. We just had a baby, and we are just about to move and start our new lives in a new place as a relatively new little family. Right now life is mostly a waiting game with one obvious BIG bonus. I get to spend my time waiting for the new adventure to begin while having one of THE biggest adventures--becoming a new parent. So far the journey has been wonderful, hectic, exhausting, frustrating and, even though it's only been three weeks, the most rewarding experience I've ever had!
Now that I'm a temporary stay at home parent, I plan on blogging more often (cross those fingers for me please). I want to record these fleeting, precious moments I'm experiencing not just for others but for myself as well. Baby is growing and changing every day, and I want to look back someday and recall at least of a few of those moments. Time obviously isn't going to wait for me so I need to get to writing, photographing, and posting! Here goes!!!
