I'm Back!

So, I've been MIA in the blogging world for.....well, I don't really even know how long. And I've missed it desperately. For awhile I had a good excuse: no internet access. That was in the middle of the big move. For the rest of it there's not really any great reason for my absence other than a total sense of bamboozlement. Let me fill you in on what's new with our family.

1. We moved from Missouri to Kentucky. So far we really like it. We've packed, unpacked (most of it anyway), painted, put in a floor, started searching for a church, met people, made a few new friends, and tried to find our way around our new town. It's a nice adventure for us and most likely will continue to be for the next four years or so.

2. We're expecting baby #2 on January 26th. We're really excited about this and can't wait to find out boy or girl so we can start planning.

3. I've taken on a new job as a bookie for horse racing. SO, if you're wanting to place a bet, I'm your gal. Just kidding!

4. Scott has been busy this past week getting PALS and ACLS certified. He'll start his new job on Thursday. Yay for my hubby! By the way, he graduated in May after four years of grueling work. I'm so proud of my guy!

5. Eli is getting big! He's had lots of fun summer activities so far--including swimming fully clothed. He's quite the character. Expect another post on this guy very shortly.

6. I've been busy playing squirrel, storing away summer goodness for winter. Have I mentioned that I'm quite fond of my new deep freeze? There will also be a post on this very soon.

7. It feels like we've had a lot more going on that this, but I'm afraid I put too much into #1 to leave much else for my list. Anyway, life's been busy lately, but we love it!

Lingering thought of the day: Is it scary or reassuring to have at least one police officer on guard at our Wal-Mart 24/7?
