Update on Us

I am not very good at this blogging thing, mostly because I don't want to bore anyone to death with mundane details about my life :-) Aaron and I are really enjoying our new home. We are settled in and I am loving being at home during the day, keeping the house clean and cooking dinner every night. It's crazy, I never dreamed that I could be content not working, but I have settled in to things better than expected. Aaron really enjoys his new job and is learning so much so quickly!  He is already poised for promotion, and loves the challenges involved in his work everyday. I love to listen about what he is learning everyday, although most of the time I probably have a dumbfounded look on my face (I am NOT mechanical, electrical, engineer-thinking at all!!) He is very patient and does a great job of explaining things to me, more than once in most cases.

The last time I left you with some pictures of the baby's room full of boxes, etc. to be unpacked. I am proud to say that there are no more unpacked boxes in our house, everything is organized (mostly) and put away in one of our many great closets (I heart closet space so much!!) Now the baby's room looks like this:

 

We are so blessed, a good friend has loaned us a cradle and crib to use, and I was able to find a GREAT deal on a travel system (stroller, car seat, and 2 car seat bases) like new on Craig's List. If you are not a craigslister, you should definitely check it out!! People sell some really nice things, and it's a great way to save some money over buying brand new. 

We still have a LOT of work to do in this room (obviously) and this week I am tackling getting the crib and cradle sanded for Aaron to paint this weekend. Once we know what we're having I will get started on the decorating part. I cannot wait to decorate this space, my nesting instincts are definitely kicking in, and currently I spend WAY too much time watching HGTV. Hopefully we will be able to find out by the time Thanksgiving rolls around. I am so excited for the Holidays this year, can't wait to decorate and spend time with family!!
