A lot has changed...

So, I have been SO bad about updating but life has been crazy busy, and I just haven't had much time to get my thoughts together enough to update the blog! But I've gotten a number of emails and comments asking how things are going, so I knew it was time to come back!

As my title suggests, a lot has changed since my last post, so this post will be full of bullets:

- We sold our house in Athens to the company that Grant and I both work for, because no one had bought it before our 60 day offer came to a close, and we closed on a new house in Brunswick in August. We sold our house on August 8th and closed on our new house on August 10th...

- Weston and I moved in with my parents, so I could continue seeing my doctor, stay at work in my office and Weston could keep his sitter in late July.

- We set-up the house in Brunswick, but we have yet to decorate and get everything like I want it; however, we were able to set-up both boy's rooms before I was unable to travel and William arrived.

- William arrived on Tuesday, September 27th at 6:41 PM...birth story to follow. :)

- The boys and I packed up our things from my parents house and moved down to Brunswick on Friday, October 7th.

- We've gotten settled and transitioned to life with two boys in a new town. We've found a new church that we really enjoy where there are a lot of young couples with children. They've invited us to attend gatherings with them, and we are really enjoying spending time and meeting new people in our area.

- We enjoyed a fun Halloween where Weston dressed up as a fisherman and William didn't dress up, because I didn't want to spend money on a Halloween costume for a one month old. We got bit up my sand gnats and mosquitoes.

- Grant got awarded the Distinguished Young Alumnus award for the UGA Warnell School of Forestry this past weekend, and we were invited to a celebration dinner, brunch the following day, two tickets to the Sky Box for the UGA vs. New Mexico State Homecoming game and a two night stay at Hotel Indigo in Athens, GA. William was able to attend with us, and it was a great honor for Grant to receive the award.

Anyways, I've got lots more to update on, and over the next few days, I'll do posts about the following: Williams Birthday, Weston's Allergies, Asthma and Eczema, Halloween and the Boy's Rooms at our new house.

For the moment...I'll just share a photo of our new little guy and his proud big brother, Weston.

Weekend Recap

So, I had one of the best weekends in a long time...Grant and I are constantly on the go, and we rarely have any time to just sit down and relax. This weekend was the first weekend since I can even remember that we didn't have any plans for the entire weekend, and it was absolutely wonderful.

On Friday, my parents came over, because Grant is working on painting the exterior of our house, and he had rented some scaffolding and needed some help getting it up. So, my mom and I just talked and went and got pizza for the workers! :) On Saturday, Grant worked outside all day, and I ran some errands, did some homework for my MBA and went to the baby store in town just to look around. It was really a lot of fun! I also relaxed on the couch and took a nap!

On Sunday, my dad came back over to help Grant some more, and I finished up my homework, made lunch for Grant and Dad and took another nap. It was just awesome to not have to do anything all weekend. To not have to rush around to some event (shower, wedding, get-together, etc.) was awesome!

I'm looking forward to a short week. We have a three and a half day work week, and I'm planning on working from home on Thursday, so it'll be a three day in-office week. It's going to be great. I don't have any meetings this week either, so I'm thrilled! We have no plans for the 4th Of July weekend, but I'm still very excited about it. My parents are going out of town, so we won't see them, and I have a feeling that Grant's parents will be going out of town, as well. But that's okay! We'll have a good time hanging out together...we plan to go see a movie and go see the fireworks in town. We would've gone on vacation to our beach house too, but we decided not to, because Grant wants to finish painting the house this weekend. This weekend marks the anniversary date of our engagement since we got engaged on July 4th, 2008! Yay! :)

Feeling Crummy...

So, I stayed home from work today, and I still don't feel any better. I have really been exhausted lately, and so, I haven't been keeping the house as clean as I like it or keep up with the laundry. Needless to say, it was getting a little ridiculous, so I decided to work from home today, and I would spend some time washing clothes and cleaning the house.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a whole lot done...I woke up at 5:45 AM with Grant, and we ate breakfast together. I think laid on the couch with the dog, and we fell back asleep until about 7:45 AM. I woke up and took my Marketing Exam for my MBA Course, because I had to take it before 11:00 PM tonight. After that, I started cleaning and then took a shower. I left around noon to go meet a friend for lunch, and I got back home around 1:30 PM.

Then, I laid back down and took another nap and then decided to start cleaning again. I finished everything upstairs, but I still have a long way to go. I have only washed three loads of clothes...I have many more! Ha-ha! :) I have to get everything cleaned downstairs, and I don't think it's going to get it all done tonight. I'm ready to go back to bed now! Anyways, I don't have much to talk about, because all I want to do right now is sleep and try to avoid nauseous at all costs! :) But here's to hoping that I get the house cleaned and clothes washed eventually...
