It's been a while... a long while...

It's been a while since I have posted! A very long while!!!! As in 3 months long!! Since my last post, we have found out that we are going to have a little girl in February!!! Rylie Cameron will make our family of 2 a family of 3!!!

So far the pregnancy has been super duper easy. Rylie has been growing as expected, I am slowly gaining weight and to date have gained a total of 25 pounds... blood pressure is still in the low average range and so far no signs of the dreaded pre-eclampsia that most first time mom's fear...

Here are some shots since the last post...

March Fun

So far March has been a fun month! We have had one catering tasting, and two flower consults. We have one more caterer tasting this weekend... then to contact our original caterer to get a similar proposal to the other two and make our decision! The florists both said that they would email us the proposals within a week to ten days...

In other wedding news, we finished our invitations last weekend and have already gotten five response cards back!!!! So far only four people are going to attend... should lead to a fun night! :) I am sure we will get more cards this week from other family members... the wedding isn't for 125 days. I realized after we got our first response card back that I totally forgot to put the ribbon on the card to coordinate with the invitation! Oops! Guess I can always add the ribbon now right?

Yesterday we drove to Colorado Springs to spend the afternoon with Jen. It was good to see her after not having the chance to see her for almost a year! Sight seeing in Manitou Springs was fun, even with the horrible wine tasting that we attended...

In other news, Ian has had an in-person interview and a follow up with one company, hoping to hear back from them soon on whether or not he got the job... he has another in person interview tomorrow with another company... Keep the prayers coming that he is able to find a job. Lord knows he wants to find one!

I have also been hired by a home health company based in Denver. I need to contact the other speech therapists to shadow them before I get my first clients since it has been 7 years since I have dabbled in the medical side of my profession, mainly swallowing and some of the more cognitive therapies for post-CVA patients.

CSAP season is officially in full swing and once we are finished with CSAP, we will have SPRING BREAK!!! THEN... 100 days!!!

Yet another update on my To-Do list

Back in Feb I had a post 101 Things to do in 1001 Days.

I have a few more updates for this blog... Since I posted I have started several things on my list...

For starters... I'm engaged and planning a wedding... the married part will be completed this upcoming summer... We have closed my storage unit in Oklahoma, as well as painted Kenzie's bedroom and decorated it for her... I even started organizing the room too!!! I opened (and closed) my bank account in Colorado, and am even getting ready to close my other account in Oklahoma that I can't access from out here!

I'm not sure what else I have met on the list... but those are a few of the accomplishments from my list!!!
