A resolution type thing...

Well well, I am not usually one to make resolutions. In fact, I don't like to make them. But I am at a point where I need to tell myself to do something. Haha. I guess you could consider it a resolution. I am going to be having this new baby soon, and we are outgrowing our apartment, our car, our closets, etc...which means, we will need to move this year sometime. Which also means, we need more money...doesn't everyone!?
Anyway, long story short, my job pays really crappy. I love it, and love what I do, and love how flexible the schedule is, and my boss is like Mother Theresa, a.k.a., the nicest person you will ever meet, BUT...it just doesn't pay that well. Enough for us for now, but eventually it's just not going to cut it. SO...I'm considering a career change, and I'm super excited about what I want to do. It will involve about another year or so of schooling, which I have NO idea when I am going to fit that in to my schedule with 2 kids...but it's going to happen. And, I am excited because I can go at my own pace...which also means, it might take more than a year....like a year and a half.
I am super super excited though. It's going to be a whole new adventure.
I'm still working on all the details of it all, but sometime this summer, I hope to start the required schooling.
HOORAY for new and exciting things. Hooray for the new year. Hooray for a supportive and loiving husband!!!

So that's my New Years Resolution thingy...to gain more knowledge I guess.
Here's a Happy New Year to you too!! Hope it's spectacular!!

It's a .....

GIRL!!! It's another GIRL for us! We're so excited! Bring on the hormones! We had the ultrasound on Wednesday, and everything looked great! I was a little disappointed in the Sonographers pics that she took for us, she didn't really get us the classic profile pics, or anything. They are all just measurements and body parts...haha. So bummer there. We did get a couple really cute 3-D face pics, but not on CD, otherwise I would post them.

She didn't mention changing the due date or anything, so we're still looking at April 21st. I meet with the doc next week to go over everything, so we'll see.

But I'm pretty excited to have another cute little girl to play with!!
