It is 2015. That means it has been about 4 months since my last post.
When I was a kid, I couldn't keep a diary. I'd write maybe two or three entries then give it up. Seems my attempt to blog was met with the same outcome.
Since I last posted, my life has changed...completely.
I have a new job. I am working for a major insurance company as a Health Educator. It is a complete change from working in the clinical arena. There are positives and negatives about my new position, but I love that I'm expanding my professional experience. Very few 24 year olds have perfect jobs, or at least that's what I am told.
We've had financial problems. Our house, being older, decided to put us to the test as new homeowners. For a little while, it seemed that anything that could go wrong did, and it took some moolah to fix it. Also, the IRS decided that we owed some money, and by some I mean quite a bit. This was right before Christmas, which put a huge damper on the season, but we made it through and are working hard to build back some savings. We have been living a very minimalistic life, but I must say it has been a learning experience and, surprisingly, lots of fun for the hubby and me.
I got a fancy camera. I had been wanting one for a while for many reasons. The holiday season was coming up and I was hoping there would be some good Black Friday deals. BUT that's when the IRS thing happened, so that dream went out the window. Despite the hard times, my husband being the amazing man that he is, talked to some family members and they all came together to get me a Canon for Christmas. I cried. A lot. So now, I'm excited to post some better pictures on here!
And lastly, I'm pregnant!
Actually, I was pregnant the last time I posted back in October, we just didn't know it yet.
Baby H is doing great. We are over half way there, which is crazy! It is amazing how fast the time flies. I was very lucky and had a very easy first trimester, no sickness or anything of the sort. My eating habits haven't changed much, but I am loving peanut butter milkshakes and hating chicken. We do know the gender, but are keeping it a secret until our reveal party next month!
You might have noticed I changed the look of my blog. If you didn't, that's ok. I am going in a new direction with what I'll be posting. Life has taught me a lot in the past six months and I have many thoughts about many things. I've had triumphs and defeats and I'd like to share and listen to what others have to say.
I'm looking forward to this new adventure and I hope you will journey with me.
Always,
Me
