The Move

A little back story. After my husband and I graduated from college, he got a job out of state, 11 hours away from all family and friends. He took it, and I went with him. We were only dating at that point, but had been together for about 8 years. That was back in 2006. Since then, we got engaged, married and had babygirl.
After having Aryana, and visiting family, we knew we wanted to get closer to family, it was hard to travel back and forth with a baby, and we hated that Aryana wouldn't grow up knowing her Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles as much as we would like. Both my husband and I spent a lot of time with our Grandparents growing up.

My husband started looking for a job closer to home, and right around Aryana's birthday, he received an offer!!! We had about a month to find somewhere to live and move, so he could start his new job! We are now only about 3 hours away from family, and LOVE IT!!! Within the first week babygirl saw our whole family, and a month out she already knows everybody and is comfortable staying with them! We couldn't be happier!!

That is part of the reason I've been MIA, when I gave my two week notice, my boss asked if I could work remotely so I could transition all of my work and help them out with year end, I couldn't pass it up! I was able to work from home and stay home with Aryana for a couple of weeks, but it was busy! I felt like I was working all day, getting up around 6am, working until Aryana woke up, then played with her until she took her first nap, worked, and repeat until she went to bed at night and then worked until about 9pm or 10pm everynight! My last day was this past Friday, and the sameday I accepted a new position locally, starting in 2 weeks! I really couldn't be happier!

Some summer fun pictures since we have moved, we are about 30 mins from a beautiful beach and a small little splash park!

Anybody Still Here????

I haven't posted in almost 3 months?! I missed my babygirls 1st birthday!!! She is already 14 months old!! A lot has happened since the last time I posted, but we'll start with Aryana's 1st birthday! We just had a couple friends over to celebrate, but before they all came, one of my friends came over and took pictures of Aryana, and they turned out great! It was really windy that day, and Aryana just loved it, she was laughing and running in circles, it was so funny! Here are a few pictures
