The baby boom

Let's just start off by saying... I am NOT pregnant.

It seems like in the last year or 2 my Facebook has been taken over by babies. I can't sign online without seeing my friend's little ones. So many of my friend's are jumping on the baby bandwagon. Dont' get me wrong. Babies are some of my favorite people. I mean, these 3 have so much of my love it is ridiculous!

2006...

2010...I love kids. I started babysitting when I was 12 and would probably be a full-time nanny if I didn't do what I do. I especially love my friends kids. I like looking at pictures, i like updates, i like getting as much cuddle time in as I can. But I must admit, I get a little jealous. As much as conversations about a woman's internal clock make me want to vomit, I cannot help but admit that I want to start having kids...like, YESTERDAY.

Trust me, the logical part of me realizes that having a baby right now would be hard (with Chris's law school schedule it would be a lot like single parent kinda hard). And I'm only 26. I like my life and the freedom I have. I like the our little family- me, Chris and Henry. I like being able to foster dogs when I have the time. Oh! ...and I like my figure and the very small amount of work I have to do to keep it!

And for all those reasons- and more- Chris and I are not on the baby making train and won't be for a while. But I can't help but want it. And until I can have it, I will get in as much cuddle time as I can with little guys like Nathan and Jimmy...

...and we're back!

I'm finding the time again! That's right, I'm back to blogging. I love reading blogs on my down time at work and a favorite blog swapping session with my fabulous friend, Mrs. Lindsay Phillips, has motivated me to get back to writing my own blog. It was actually pretty fun to open this blog up and look back 2 years. A lot has happened since then. For those who weren't paying attention, here is what you missed...

November 2008- Chris and I are home owners! We moved into a perfect little starter home...

Since then we have painted every nook and cranny (or that is what it feels like!), installed new AC, garage door, kitchen appliances, washer & dryer, backsplash and a garbage disposal! I had a blast decorating and it truly feels like a home!

January 2009- Welcome Henry Puppypants! We said we wouldn't get a dog before we got married. HA! I found this guy online and could not stop checking him out. 2 weeks later he was ours. Thanks to Secondhand Mutts (http://www.secondhandmutts.org/index.html) for bringing us this adorable guy and becoming an integral part of our lives over the last 2 years. (btw-I'm totally one of those annoying dog people. I love this little guy like crazy.)

May 2009- WE GET MARRIED! After a whirlwind 8 month engagement and lot of planning, Chris and I tied the knot at Windows on the River in front of our nearest and dearest. Thanks for everyone for making it the perfect day.

August 2009- Chris Goes To Law School. That's right- motorcycle man is now a snooty law student (well maybe not snooty). I could not be more proud of him. He is managing to stay sane while working his day job, going to school at night, and now competing with the Cleveland-Marshall Trial Team. Sadly, no picture for this one but I can't wait for the day when I get to post a picture of him in his cap and gown (that's about 2 1/2 years away in case you are wondering.)

Well, I think I have covered the basics. The last year has been a lot of law school, weddings, babies (not ours but man i love cuddling my friend's babies!) and lots of work on the house. Starting with my next post I'll get into what's new and fresh.

Special thanks to Lindsay Phillips for motivating me with blog love and Beth Brady of http://timandbethbrady.blogspot.com/ for always keeping me entertained with her blog!

Tootles,

Sara
