I AM MOM.

I love that "baba" means bottle, baby and bye bye.
So Dan is surprised that I took to motherhood so well. I love it. I was meant to do this. I want another. Not right now of course, but let's keep in mind pregnancy is really long. Like almost a year. So, really let's think about this, if I want Riley and the next one within 3 years of each other and Riley is turning 1, we're going to need to think about getting pregnant within the next year. (Yikes!) BUT. I will NOT bring another baby into an apartment unless it is within 6 months of closing on a house. (They are in the room with us for the first 6 months so thats where this comes in). I want my babies to have a backyard to run around in and a house to grow up in. So I'm motivated. We NEED to get out of debt.
We sold Dans car and paid off a credit card. Dan is trying hard to book speaking engagements, which is awesome extra income. (And he's so good at it! Seriously, if you know a University that needs some programming, check out campusspeak, OR a greek community that needs some help examining their image, you can book Dan directly!)
I want another baby. But we have some SERIOUS work to do first.

August is already here..

August is here, and Riley's 1st birthday is just around the corner! It's amazing how fast this past year has gone.
This next year will hopefully bring around a lot of great changes. I'll be teaching Kindergarten, Dan is in full steam still at LMU and Riley will bring us on a whole new adventure as a full blown, running child.
My hopes for this year: A healthy, happy, safe family. A successful work year. A little more financial stability. A lot of fun new memories.
