Catch Up...

I cannot believe how much time has gone by since my last post! So much has been going on. Our holiday's were so much fun! We had a such a great time spending time together and having fun with our families. I'm always sad when the holiday's are over, but I am so excited for this new year and all the EXCITING things that await our family in 2009!!!

We had a great time celebrating Dave's 26th birthday on Jan. 7th! We went out to eat and to a movie. I am so bad at remembering to take a camera along with me, so sorry for the lack of pictures. There should be no excuse because my parents gave us an awesome video camera for Christmas which is super tiny - so as soon as Dave teaches me how to use it I will take it everywhere I go!

Dave is doing great at his new job at the University of Phoenix as a Corporate Education Liaison. He really enjoys it and his job has been such a blessing to us. He starts school on Jan. 19!! He's a little bit nervous, but I know that he will do great. I am still working full time at the Standard Examiner as a National Advertising Rep. My last day will be March 27th. I have been there almost 2 years. I love my job and the people I work with, so it will be sad to leave. However it will be such a blessing to be able to stay at home with our baby (we will need to get our satellite TV back for sure!!!).

I am now 27 weeks along! Time is seriously flying by. Our little guy will be here before we know it. I have been busy getting his nursery all ready for him and shopping up a storm! I swear I come home with something new for him almost everyday. (Dave is thrilled about that!) We are just so excited for him to come and we only have a few more months to wait!
