Long time, no write. No surprise

As expected, I was as bad at blogging as I promised myself I wouldn't be. Can you make a mid-year resolution? Mine would be to be better at writing here. Small notes, updating photos, etc. I initially tried to look at this as a way to keep track of my life then my life got so unexpectedly crazy I forgot this was supposed to be the forum to keep everything together. So a few quick updates...

1. I'm getting married! October 16, 2011 is the "big day"! I initially loved everything that had to do with planning our perfect wedding until real life took over and I realized you couldn't just quit your job to plan your wedding. So lucky for me, I was introduced to the second love of my life, Jill Brown, my fabulous wedding planner who has helped make my life a million times easier. Plus she makes delicious cupcakes! So obviously, we were a match made in delicious dessert heaven from the word go.

2. We recently found out we are adding a baby girl to our family, also due to make her appearance in 2011. Seriously? Could our lives be any crazier right now? So I immediately switched from wedding planning mode to baby EVERYTHING! (insert Jill here) - we still have a wedding to plan. oops! I am so in love with this baby girl already. I am in the process of bankrupting us on Etsy with things to decorate her nursery, hair bows, etc. At first we had talked about not finding out the gender. It was definitely more me than Sean. I wanted to be surprised, but Sean was convinced we needed to find out. So from the moment we decided to find out I have been obsessed with it. And obsessed with everything girly! Ask anyone who knew and they will tell you all I wanted was a little girl. Everyone responds with the politically correct answer "all you want is a healthy baby", and I would always add "GIRL" at the end, a healthy baby girl! lol. Well I got my wish, and in December we will get to love on her and spoil her like crazy! Sean is nervous for our bank account already! :)

So between working full time, planning a wedding, and fitting in baby doc appointments, our life is nuts. I can't believe I'm going to be a mommy! love!
