Where have I been?

A lot has happened since I last wrote - I had a sweet baby boy and bought a house (in that order).  I have wanted to start writing again for a while (new years resolution) - but didn't really know how to jump back in.  Well, I figure I'll just start writing again and fill in as I go along.  I want to write so I can remember things.  My blog was a good diary of my life and helped me to remember the things I had done, liked, thought about, etc.

our baby - 1 week old

So what happened?
Writing everyday in my blog used to be one of my favorite things - something that got a lot more erratic when I changed jobs at work after I got married in 2010.  My job got more chaotic - I was working longer hours and didn't want to be on the computer when I got home from work.  Then I got pregnant in March of last year.  Things felt touch and go for a few weeks (the entire first trimester really) and the last thing I wanted to do was talk about my pregnancy in a public way.  But not talking about it also felt strange since it was pretty much all I thought about.  So my erratic posting went to no posting.

So now I'm back.  I'm not sure I have any readers left, but at the end of the day I write mostly for myself (and my parents so they can see what I'm up to across the country).  I'm excited to get back to it, to see if I find writing as fun as I used to.  There will undoubtably be more baby related stuff than before - but that is where I am right now.  I'm excited for this next phase of my life (and my blog).
