Ben and I have been living in the Hill Country of Texas, just outside of San Antonio, for the past three years (almost) and very much enjoy our jobs, our neighbors, and all this area has to offer. We recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.
Ben works on a small "horse outfit" training reigning, roping, and cutting horses. What a job! Who wouldn't enjoy spending your days outside on horseback. I'm sure in my mind I've made it out to be more enjoyable than it can sometimes be, but Ben's happy doing it.
I work for a wonderful commercial architecture and interior design firm. I am so very proud to announce that this spring I passed my licensing examination! I am now officially a registered interior designer for the State of Texas. We are a small firm and our work load mainly consists of corporate office renovations and tenant finish outs. I really enjoy my work and I've been so lucky to have wonderful employers. In our office, family is first. This has allowed me to enjoy a flexible work schedule, working from home two days a week so I can spend as much time with Will as possible.
Our sweet Will is turning two this month. How time flies! He is such a character with a wonderful disposition and great sense of humor. Like his daddy, he loves horses, cowboy hats, and boots. Ah, the boots. There have been nights when we have to wait until he's long been asleep to pull them off.
Ben, Will, and I are so very excited to share that we are expecting a new baby due January 22nd. We are set to find out if this little one will be a boy or girl on Wednesday (Sept. 10). All bets are on a girl, but I'm not making any predictions. Ben says it's a girl and when I asked Will what our baby's name should be, after a couple seconds of thought he offered "baby Rose". Rose is Will's daycare teacher, but he apparently felt it would be an appropriate name for the baby. He is going to be a wonderful big brother. He seems to have a fair grasp of the concept that there is a baby in Mommy's tummy. He gives the baby hugs and kisses, tells it hello and bye-bye, and excitedly points out every baby he sees. I can't wait for my two babies to meet!
I look forward to using this blog to share more joyous news and daily adventures and to better introduce my family to you.
