Ok so maybe this whole blog thing isn't really my thing anymore. I mean I have plenty to say, just no time to actually keep up with it. Perhaps I shall make this a quarterly thing, right? That way, I get to write my word, you get to read it and I still am only on the hook to post every three months. Deal? Ok, deal. For the record Michelle (Ryan's) is further behind then me :)
Let's bring everyone up to speed on 2010. In January, Jereme and I started searching for a new house. It only took 30 houses (and one offer that went no where) for us to start looking at new builds. At first I didn't think it was even an option, but then it turns out that there are deals to be made. Offer accepted, closed two and a half weeks later.
In between the packing we managed to have Lilly's first birthday party. Actually we had two. One in the cities with Jereme's family at the townhouse and one up in St. Cloud at my parents. They were both great! We have such awesome family and Lilly is soooo spoiled by them.
Lilly had her one year check up and as I expected, she didn't make the charts again for weight. 16lbs 7oz. She's measuring in the 25th percentile for height and weight. I guess she'll be facing backwards in the car seat for a while longer.
Because we weren't busy enough... Jereme also landed a new job. He started at the VA as a pensions administrator three weeks ago. Much, much better hours, plus no weekends and since it's a federal gig, every holiday under the sun off and great benefits.
Oh and did I mention that in between all of this, we were also in the process of finding renters for our townhouse and getting the place itself ready to rent? As of today, I am thrilled to say that it's rented starting March 27th for the year. We're even cash flowing on it a small amount... whoo hoo!
As for me, I've been traveling for work drumming up business and just trying to organize the house. Hopefully Jereme and Lilly will becoming on a trip with me to Portland, OR next month. I need to go for work and we have some friends that live there, so I figured we may as well make it a family trip.
So, if all of that isn't reason enough for not posting in a long, long time... then you guys have too much spare time on your hands, lol!
Lots of love... chat with ya in June :)

Sweet Lilly
Hmmm, yummy birthday cupcake!
Jereme had to shovel off the deck to get all of our stuff off of it. He had to buy the shovel first!
