New / New

As you have probably noticed I am playing catch up on my blog, back dating all my recent posts. I have been horrible at it. Trying to do better.

February was a month that brought a lot of change and excitement to our lives.

Alan got a new job working for Thompson Company, an engineering firm here in Georgia. It is located in Norcross which makes it about an hour commute each way due to traffic. The commute is the only down side to the job though. It is a real "grown up" job!!! With medical benefits, 401k, paid vacation and everything! It is amazing, we are so grateful that he got this job. He also works M-Th 8-6 and then has a half day on Friday which is nice, but it is also hard because with the hour commute each way he is gone 12hrs a day and often doesn't get to see Hailey before she goes to bed, and she isn't up by the time he leaves. It could be much worse though and it is always nice when he is home on Fridays. Now with a steady job we hope to find a house closer to his office. Things are going well for him at work. It is hard, as any new job would be. It is nice though that he can learn from engineering from those around him and he can teach them Revit.

February also brought exciting news about a new little one joining our family. This is the ultra sound picture from my first appointment, just under 7 weeks so the baby is just a tiny little bean. It was amazing how reassuring it was to see the baby and actually hear the heart beat. Due date is October 18th, one day before my birthday. Hopefully this baby will come one week early like Hailey did so we have a little bit of space between birthdays.
