Wow.

 

We bought a house, closed right before Thanksgiving.

 

I finished my term at the Boston job (I was telecommuting).

 

We stayed with my parents for another 6 weeks while we “freshened up” the house.

 

Def. Freshen Up. verb. Paint interior top to bottom. Paint some ceilings 3 times because you change your mind on colors. Trim, oh the trim. Rip up carpet. Decide at last minute to refinish floors. Build a bedroom for baby out of an attic storage space. Fix electric. Clean. Clean. Clean.

 

After being unemployed for two weeks find a job that fits my exact needs.

 

Do a little Dance because owning a house without two incomes was scary.

 

Start Job.

 

Celebrate Christmas.

 

Celebrate New Years by hitting the bed at 10pm. This is late for me. Working full time during the week and full time on the house on the weekends is hard on the body.

 

Try to spend as much time as possible with the absolute Cutest Baby in the world.

 

Move in to house!

 

Replace hot water heater.

 

Sister moves in.

 

Get internet access.

 

Get ready to celebrate Sophia’s 1st Birthday!

All of this while Rob worked full time and I worked full time.

 

It feels good to be slowing down a bit and feels really good to write again.

 

See you soon! *promise*
