You Know You Missed Me - Ha! :)

So I know I said it was my blog and I could be MIA if I wanted to. And it was true! I definitely was MIA for a really, really long time - almost 4 months to be exact. Lots of changes have occurred as you can probably already tell! :) Thanks first off to Jes for the site redesign - I think it looks great and just what I needed to start my blog off fresh.

So here's the scoop: I started my new job in August and absolutely LOVE it! I couldn't be happier with where I work, the people I work with, and the job I do. It is a great fit for me, and I am very blessed to have found such a great company to work for and with such great benefits. It was definitely something I needed and came at the perfect time! Needless to say I was quite busy in the fall with all of my recruiting, so I didn't have a lot of time to write. But I promise to keep more up to date on this blog so possibly a few of my readers may come back to me and maybe I can even entice a few new ones!

In other news as you can tell by my site, Austin & I are expecting a baby! It's a BOY!!!! :) We couldn't be more excited about his arrival, and his due date is March 25th. Just a little over three months more to go, and I feel like I'm getting bigger every day! ;) I'm sure there will be plenty of posts to come about my impending motherhood and beyond, so hopefully I won't bore you to death with all of that!

Also, after much hunting and searching, we decided to build a new house in a development about 20 miles from here. It is closer to Austin's parents which will be nice since Austin's mom will be our daycare when I go back to work after the baby is born! :) It is a beautiful house and is coming along quite nicely, so we can't wait to have a house of our own (especially after all the problems we've had with our apartment complex this year!). We are hoping to close February 1st and move the 1st or 2nd weekend in February so we'll be in the house a little over a month hopefully before our bundle of joy arrives!

So that's the quick recap of all that has been going on in my life in the last few months. Lots of fun and exciting changes! Hope you all keep on reading - I've missed you and lurked around your sites to keep up with everything that has been going on. Just time for me to start being involved in it all again! I promise to write soon (probably tomorrow - who knows maybe this afternoon!). :)

So glad you're back! I know you're probably a little anxious about the weight gain (from the baby), but I am POSITIVE that you are still thin and beautiful as ever. I'd love to see pictures of the growing belly! :)

Have you decided on a name?

Yes we have decided on a name (first name at least and probably middle name will stick too). His name will be Cooper Riley S. :)
