It's been a bit since I've updated everyone - or at least since I typed up one of these blogs that few people even care about :) The husband and daughter just happen to be sleeping and I found myself with some "alone" time (YippEE!!! ) so here I am.
It's been a very hectic few months here in AZ. I had taken a new job at the end of February that just didn't work out....I don't think I was really meant to clean dirty, wax crusted hearing aids - I was hired as the Office Manager for pete's sake! Anyways...I was able to start a new job this past Monday as a Project Specialist with the direct mail division of the main newspaper in town. I'm slowly getting adjusted, but it seems like it's going to be a GREAT fit. PLUS...I know people I work with (Carlene and Tom)...which is definitely nice after a couple of years of working primarily by myself. So things are on the upswing for me - though I don't get nearly as much time on MySpace...can we say withdrawals anyone??
As for Roy, he sold his moving business and has started the process of getting into the Mesa Police Department. It will be a very long, tedious journey and he will have to find something to get us by until the January academy, but he's excited.
We also did some car swapping...we sold my Jeep and traded in Roy's truck on a Mazda3 for myself. More economical in the long run - it's WAY better on gas. Roy FINALLY got an older used car Wednesday night - which has relieved a ton of my stress...living off just one vehicle for a few weeks was REALLY hectic and nerve wracking. PHEW - that's a load off :)
As for Rya...geez, what can I say? She's 14 months old today and I just really don't know where the time is going. She's now saying tons of new words including "no, no, no" (which Mama just LOVES), "apple" and "Abby" for Abby Caddaby (Elmo's best friend). She's become a total sucker for Elmo - we've gotten a couple Elmo videos, one that teaches opposites and another that has favorite kids songs...and she just LOVES them. Roy can now hand her something and say "take this to mommy" and 9 times out of 10 she'll bring it right to me. We're having a bit of trouble getting her off the bottle ("baba") but we're not too worried about it. The doctor had just mentioned that she should be off completely by 15 months or so...guess we'll just continue to work on it...any suggestions??
Other than that, we're just zipping through each day wondering where the hours have gone. The weather is GREAT right now, though it's heating up here in AZ (should be close to 100 degrees this weekend) but it's still nice enough to spend lots of time enjoying the warmth and the sun...which means even less time to spend on here, which is probably a good thing
Take care everyone - big hugs from AZ!!
