Changes

So I have a LOT of change to talk about! First off the house is really moving now and I'll post a sneak peak of the kitchen. We have cabinets in and counter tops won't be too far behind I hope. Luke has finished the crown molding for the entire house, so we are excited about that, but we still need to throw a painting party.

In sad news Luke lost his Grandmother Mimi this past Sunday. We were given a little heads up on her condition, so it wasn't a complete surprise, but she was such a wonderful person that we got to see rather often, so we will be missing her. Please pray for Luke's mother and family!

In other news of change I am finally allowed to say that Luke has taken a new job in Savannah, Georgia. He will be doing the same thing he does now, but we won't be traveling the country anymore. We are excited to finally live in our house, and take a break from the road warrior lifestyle (even though I will say we had a blast moving around). Luke is actually moving at the end of this month while I plan to move in with my sister and her husband for two months to finish up some work for Lockheed.
In terms of my career future: I can't do my current position from home in Savannah, but they are working to find me a position where I can work from home remotely. I don't know anything for sure yet, but I'm hoping they can pull this off. I would LOVE to keep my JOB if possible!

Another BIG announcement is my first cousin is going to marry one of my best friends!! My cousin Tyler proposed to my friend Lisa yesterday. I am VERY excited since I purposely sat the two next to each other at my rehearsal dinner 3 years ago. Way back 3 years ago Tyler was living in Oklahoma (his home state) and Lisa (my college friend who I met at Auburn) was living in North Carolina (her home state)....so I wasn't really expecting results. However, when my cousin Tyler took a coaching position with Clemson in South Carolina, he called up Lisa for a date. I guess you could say the rest is history now. It's pretty great to know that one of my best friends will now be the mom to my kids second cousins.

I guess the last MAJOR announcement is that Luke and I are expecting our first Child on January 7, 2013! Tomorrow I have my 14 week check up and 4 weeks from tomorrow we get to find out the sex of baby D. We are very excited, thankful, nervous, joyful, etc.....
We have known about a lot of this news for a while, but couldn't officially say anything yet, so it sure does feel great to finally share this information with the world.


Lastly, I plan to pick up my blogging again very shortly because my two hour daily commute is leaving in two short weeks!! My sister lives about 10 min. from my work, so I am REALLY looking forward to having my life back outside of work and driving.

  2. Well it took a lot of frogs before I finally helped her find a prince. Hopefully she will forget about that whole part :)
