Well over a year to be exact! I meant to keep blogging, but it kind of became neglected with all the changes that have happened in the last year. What has changed to ask? Well where to begin?
1. We moved from the little town we were living in, back to the city! We discovered that we weren’t small town people and although living in the town was much closer to where Derek was working ( a half hour drive compaired to at the most to an hour and half, if not more) we are definitely happier! We love being with our friends and family again!
2. Along with the move back to the city came a new house! Which we love! Although it is smaller than our last, all we needed to do was paint (and a few smaller things here and there). Considering our last two houses required a lot of work (down to the studs at times) it was so nice not spending every minute doing renovations.
3. A job for me! When living in the town before I had wanted to go back to work, just to get interaction with people, as there wasn’t much to do around town. But not being able to find a babysitter for Daxon, made this impossible. In the beginning it was a big transition, but we managed and Daxon loves his babysitter.
4. I became an auntie! My sister and brother in law had a beautiful baby girl on November 13, 2011 that they named Laila (I call her my little chubster). She is such a cutie and had already started to walk at 9 months old. It’s a totally different experience being auntie rather than mommy! And Daxon is such a good cousin.
5. I traded in my beloved kiwi green 2008 escape (which was my dream car) for... wait for it!!! A 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan (and yes I pimped it out with some awesome family decals). Yes, I have fallen into the trap and am officially a hypocrite. I had always said to everyone that there is no need for a minivan, that there is always an SUV that will fit your needs, but that is not true! It is so much easier putting Daxon in his car seat as there is so much more head room, no more bumped heads on the roof! And all the space is great, if you need to change a diaper on while on the run, the floor works perfect! Even Derek who said he won't drive it without Daxon or I had been seen driving by himself!
6. And the best news yet!!! We are having another baby!!!! That’s right, baby D or T (depending on if it’s a girl or boy and yes we want to find out) is expected to join us January 30, 2013 and we couldn’t be happier!
(The original date was February 2, but has since changed)
Well now that I’ve written this post, I’m hoping to keep things updated as I enjoy looking at past posts and reminiscing.
