I'm BAAAACK!

So, it's been a long time...just over a year in fact! But I have decided that it's time to pick up where we left off and get back on track. Now, where to begin? This past year has been full of change for our family. Probably the most important this is that we sold out house in South Sacramento. It was a really tough decision for us to make and like many others facing a "mortgage meltdown" we were left with very few options. Luckily, we were able to sell and are now renting a home in East Sacramento. We love, love, love the neighborhood and we also so lucky to be much closer to Bull's family so that is a big plus too! Unfortunately, because of the move, we had to find our beloved dog, Kennedy, a new home. He is now living with some family friends in the Santa Cruz area where he gets to go for long walks on the beach almost daily. What a life! Although we miss him (Evan more than anyone) we know that he is in a great home, full of love and constant attention to cater to his every doggy whim. Another big development has been my return to work. I started with a local company, Nugget Markets, last October. It has proven to be a big adjustment for all of us but one that is certainly worth it. The company itself is amazing, has great benefits and is also willing to work with my crazy schedule! I am proud to say that I was just recently promoted to checker! I never thought that after college I would wind up back on the grocery business but I really enjoy the fast pace and the extra money it provides is a huge help. So far, I have met a lot of cool people and it is so therapeutic for me to have some time to be myself outside of the mommy arena. Bull has also had some changes with work involving travel. Almost once a month, he packs up and heads to Houston for a week. Yee Haw! It's been tough for us when he is gone but the exposure he is getting with the project is a huge plus for his resume. Other than that, the kids are amazing...getting bigger and more independent every day. I don't think I have ever felt so loved, tired, happy, stressed - you name it - all at the same time. Being a parent is a crazy ride but I wouldn't change a thing.
