Emily has grown so much within the last 6 months and I'm amazed everyday how fast she's learning and how much she continues to amaze me. She's definitely grown into her own personality and it's so fun to watch! Next month she turns 2 and I'm hoping she skips the "terrible 2" stage!
We sold our home in Santa Ana which we shared for more than 6 years and built so many memories there. It will forever be Emily's first home, our first home as a married couple and family. After selling the house, we searched for months for the "perfect" home and after countless hours of searching, we found our home. We are now residents of the city of Orange and love our new home. We've met some people in the neighborhood and everyone is so friendly! It's like Pleasantville!
I know how blessed I am to have a job, a loving family, and a place to call home. It's hard to feel sorry for yourself when you see how the economy has effected so many people. Working weekends as I have been for the past 7 months has made me appreciate how precious my free time is with my family. I've missed a lot of birthdays, get togethers, and misc family outings because of this work schedule. Although I'm grateful to still have a job, I'm hoping this will not last much longer. We'll see what happens in the coming months and just pray for something good to happen.
