So here we are!

Well i finally decided to break down and set up a blog for our family. I just figured it was a nice way for our families to see what we've been up whenever they don't have time to call. Plus I am starting to become obsessed with taking pictures and videos of Morgan...I need some place to put them all! And i know the grandmas and grandpas will love that.
So now to catch up on what we've been doing....We just moved into a beautiful new house, purchased by papa john and momma daryl...we are renting it from them and we are SO happy to be there. It's just beautiful! Although, i may be a little jaded because a cardboard box would've been better than where we were before! I have to agree that the old apartment was great because we saved a lot of money, but it felt as though we were packed like sardines in that dear, little, hole-in-the-wall of a place. But our new place is great, and even has a pool in the back! It is a TON of work to keep up, but it has just been so great this summer...and Morgan absolutely loves swimming!
Taylor is now working for Liberty Mutual, and he just had an interview to become a full time employee (as an insurance salesman!). We are 99.9 % sure he got the job...yay Taylor! He has been so nervous about it all, he really really wants this job...but from the sound of things, he's got it. He is planning to take classes this summer at MCC, just waiting to find out what his new schedule will be. Oh and his newest facination, thinking of ways to clean the pool. The other day i found him out in the pool using a 20 lbs weight to keep himself anchored to the bottom. He had this great idea to use a hose to breath out of while he stayed at the bottom of the deep end, scrubbing with a scrub brush. Needless to say, it didn't work, and he's still trying to plot out his next move. I love him...
I am still with MedAire working the night shift. 3 twelve hour shifts a week...sometimes it feels like Taylor and I are in a relay race at the Olympics...I get off in the morning, meet him halfway, and we pass poor Morgan off like a baton...then he comes home from work just in time for me to leave...it's hectic, but we are avoiding daycare. I want more than anything to be a stay at home mom, so when i'm working at night, it feels like i'm there for her every single day. And it's worth the sleep deprivation and zombie-like mood i'm in for those three days. As for school, still waiting to get in the nursing program...story of my life!
And then there's Morgan...she is officially 1 years old! I can't believe how fast this year went by. I still have pictures and videos of her as a newborn and sometimes i get a little weepy because i miss that age. I miss that new baby smell, and all the cooing and gurgling, and just how cuddly and precsious the are! Now i have this little person who is learning to be independent and doesn't want hugs and kisses all the time...and has figured out how to tell Mommy no :( But in all seriousness, she is such a joy to have in our lives. Taylor and i talk about that all the time...she was definately a surprise, but we just couldn't imagine our lives without her. She is just so facinating to watch grow and learn and develop. Her personality (which unfortuneatly is turning out to be more like her stubborn, emotional, moody mommy) is just becoming more and more evident. And she makes us laugh every day. We just love that little girl.
Well i know this was long, but we had to catch everyone up! I will put some recent pictures of Morgan and Taylor and I in the near future...
