FIRST - The marriage is still intact! We are having a wild time through this first year of romantic newlywedness. You may have heard, we are already expecting! We've heard it doesn't always happen the way you plan, so we thought we MIGHT try after the new year and By-George we made it happen that month!! SO our second baby is on it's way and I'm just convinced it's going to be a boy!! We find out in June! =) This pregnancy has been something like the last, though with several big differences...the morning sickness wasn't nearly as bad, though it lasted several weeks longer. And the baby's heartrate is much slower than my first. My hips are already killing me, which happened before, but this time, my back hurts too!!! YAY! I think we're done after this one...Mommy's had enough morning sickness for this lifetime =) Check back in the next lifetime for more littles.
SECOND - The kids are great! Our daughter is a talkative little diva. She looked at me today, as I sat there drained of all energy, barely awake and said "Mommy, you need to calm down!" lol...that's my girl!! She loves to sing and dance and talk talk talk...no idea where that comes from! On the other hand, she is learning to fish - Daddy is such a great teacher! She loves the farm store and everything about fishing and just being outside in general <3 now that is NOT my girl hehe that's Daddy's girl! *Ayden is also changing fast!! He looks like a little man and is very well behaved for us! He still likes to sleep 16+ hours of the day but when he's up he goes hard. We turn on music and you would think he was a professional dancer haha and he lvoes to play with our dog "Mo" who is moving to Gramma and Papa's in the country soon so he can run all of the time like a real lab (and get out of my hair!)! Ayden has been coming every weekend which is great...it really give the kids more quality time together!
THIRD - VACATION!! I know we just went on a honeymoon, and it was great =) But it was busy busy Vegas and I'm obsessing over a REAL vacation! I am destined to go to Jamaica, though with the resistance of a friend who shall remain nameless (She's married to TJ's best friend and cousin - they were both in our wedding) I am starting to reconsider the value of leaving the country...maybe a United States Beach could be just as nice! hmmm Thoughts? Either way, after the baby is here and a little older, we would like to get away - it's the best way for us to reconnect, even if it's just an hour away for the night, we always seem to be 10xs more inlove when we return...and that's saying something for us!
FOURTH - I know I'm busy enough, but I can't help but thinking about my Master's Degree frequently. It's just not enough to have a Bachelor's. I'm not ready to settle and I want to do it while I'm young so I can get rich sometime soon. SOoooo I'm considering several different degrees...
FIFTH AND FINAL - I have decided it is time to take my skills to the drawing board. I have started an article in the New York Times, it's been a hit so far. Correction: Rushville Times. It's through my job and highlights a various number of mental health and substance abuse facts. However, writing the article is bringing back memories of how much I loved writing papers in college and how (don't mind if I brag a big - I don't have that much going for me so I tend to show off the few assets I have) how great I was at writing! I think it's time for a little side project in the shape of a novel, play or maybe just keeping up with this blog!!! Let me know what you think! Well that's all for now...I will surely try to do this more often than quarterly though I can't promise anything - I'm good at writing, not always motivated though =)
