What's New????

Wow, I have a lot to update everyone on.....

First of all, Robert got a new tatoo. (Which I will add a picture of later) It is a cross with thorns wrapped around it (symbolizing a protective barrier) and a banner with "mi vida" on in (which means "my life" in spanish). It has my name on the top in old english font and our anniversary date on the bottom. He designed it himself and it has a lot of meaning in it for both of us. I absolutely LOVE IT! :)

Secondly, we decided to paint the interior of our house...since we are no longer moving...and it was a huge job that required the help of robert's dad and a 20 ft ladder to get all the way up to our vaulted ceiling. The color is very hard to describe, but basically it is a soft beige that picks up the burgundy/red/grey/cream and white of our existing decor. I love it because it makes our whole house look brand new (oh and I washed all the outer windows and screens so they are sparkling which adds to the newness!) yay! We also bought more play mats, for lexy, to cover the hard floor so she can continue to practice crawling around the house like a ping pong ball! She is so fast! It's like you blink and she is somewhere she shouldn't be and you have to run over and grab her just in the nick of time!

Ok, and the biggest news of all I saved for last! :)

On Friday I gave 1 month's notice of resignation from work. Ok, calm down people...don't worry, I worked out a budget and looked at this from every possible practical angle (and if you really know me then you know that's true! ;)) But bottom line is that I'm just so miserable being away from my baby girl for so long and I don't want to miss out on this time. I plan on going back to work in a couple years, but for now I want to spend all the time I can with her so that I can look back on these days and have wonderful memories and not regret the fact that I had to work and didn't try to do this! Robert is extremely happy with our decision, even though it means he has to work overtime shifts, he is looking forward to it because he knows it is going to make me so happy (and lexy so happy!) So with this extra time I plan on visiting as many people as I can and totally take advantage of not working! My last day is going to be July 27th, so I am kicking off my 'extended vacation' with my grandma's big birthday party! yay! :) Let the countdown begin!
