Exciting Times
My job is amazing. I really, truly enjoy working here.The downside. I never have time to write in my blog! But it's a tradeoff and I'll just have to cope.
The plus side is that it's been an amazing summer.
James is starting to walk. I know! The funny thing is that he does everything on his own time. So, he's got all the moves down. He knows the logistics of walking... He just thinks that crawling is so much faster. And man, is he a fast crawler. 0-50 in seconds. People are always so amazed. Even the ladies at daycare laugh.
Which is going great by the way. He loves it. They love him. I like them, etc. The children literally smile when James enters. They actually get excited that he's there. How amazing is that? And he learns so much there. It's nice just being around other children.
James had his first birthday. He was feeling a little under the weather, so we let him sleep for most of it. Although, he conveniently woke up in time for cake. Watching him eat his cake was hilarious. He would keep his eyes scanning around the room to make sure no one took it from him... not once did he look at the cake.
Last weekend, we took him to the State Fair. We all had a lot of fun. James was amazed by the animals... although did not appreciate the sheep "baaa"ing in his face. I learned that my man could eat a lot of fried food. A lot. And it made me sad to see how much my parents really miss James. I wish they would move up here already.
We've been keeping busy.
Going to Giants games, River Cat games, the zoo. Signing up for swim lessons for James. Scheduling his first dental appointment! Austin and I are taking infant CPR lessons.
This weekend is my company picnic. Woo-hoo! and my sister is coming to visit to fill in for Austin :)
We've been mountain biking. Then took James on the bike trail in Folsom with his new fancy bike seat. He looks adorable in his little helmet. And people stop and stare at the bike seat. They think it's amazing.
Oh, and we got engaged. How cool is that!?! (I'll write all about it on another post). It was on the Folsom footbridge.. sigh :)
Not much wedding planning is happening at this moment. Our goal is to get out of debt and save money for the wedding. Also, lately, our focus has been to find the right church for us. We think we found one and are so excited about it. We are making it a point to become closer to God and serve His purpose for us.
With that, much more exciting times are definitely coming our way. First and foremost, our trip to Ohio! It will be great to see the family and introduce them to my wonderful man and adorable, talkative, walking little baby boy :)
