A New Year... about a month late

I rarely post in this blog mostly because I just can't find the time. When I have the time, I can't seem to find the energy. It seems to be a vicious cycle.

I can't even remember the last time I posted (and I don't really feel like looking at the moment) so I'll quickly recap the last couple months..

In August, Donald and I celebrated our wedding with our family and friends. Afterward, we took off on our fantastic 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise. We had a blast on our much needed vacation. Who knew wedding planning could be so much work?? Shortly after arriving home, we were in a car accident that left us without our new car for over a month.. We finally got it back good as new around Halloween.

As if a car accident wasn't enough, I was told at work that they told us they would be re-auditioning everyone in my building and if we didn't make the cut we would be transferred to a new area to work. I can't complain considering that I did keep my job and I really like where I'm working now but the whole process was a pain. Not to mention it took over a month to audition and re-place us all.

Just before I was transferred, Donald and I found out that we will be expecting Baby #2 right around 4th of July 2009. And it's a boy!! We haven't decided on a name yet but we're working on it.

Of course, Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went. Relatively painlessly, considering balancing trying to see our large families. I'm grateful for the new year although I didn't make any resolutions this year. My typical thing is to lose 10 lbs (can't happen til after the baby), save money (unrealistic but necessary), and to eat out less... I always seem to break these so rather than making them resolutions I've decided to work at making them habits. Well maybe not the losing weight, I'm not a yo-yo after all. I've started using the FlyLady system to keep our house in order but it's a slow process. Again, not surprising.. The house didn't get this much clutter in a day so it's probably going to take more than one day to get it all out.

The biggest thing that happened since I last posted is that my grandmother passed away on Valentine's Day. I am still reeling from it even though she was 80 and lived a full life. Her services are March 1st and I'm still trying to get the time off for it.

That's all for now..
