It's been just over a month since I've blogged, and let me tell you, my life feels years from where I was last month. Firstly, we're nicely settled in our new home and loving it. It's a modest bungalow but we've managed to make it look like a comfy home for the three of us, and one elderly siamese cat of course. This last month flew by in a blur of wedding appointments, house renovations, child starting daycare, job interviews etc. What a ride. However, I can happily say that today, I sit here in my new dining room, writing this as a happily (newly) married wife. I am starting a new full time job on Tuesday, and my little bean will be going to daycare full time. I feel like a whole new woman. The job itself isn't the most exciting when I explain it, but I'm just happy to be out there again, doing something. And of course the paycheques wouldn't hurt now that we have a house to pay for.. I was so excited that I did some 'back to work' shopping, which was much-needed. It seems that since I've had a full time job (where I didn't wear a uniform) the styles have changed dramatically, and even though I'm doing really well in the weight department, my size has also changed. Or shifted, rather.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and so many people told me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. It's funny, we didn't spend much on catering; just a buffet-style. The room was quaint (a nice way of saying small and crowded...slightly dated). It rained all day, and yet everyone had a great time? I think it was a culmination of open-bar (always a plus!) and the dance floor being jammed all night. I saw people dancing that I had no idea had moves! My parents included! So we all had a great night, and I couldn't have asked for a better Wedding day. And now I'm somebody's wife. Crazy. Almost as crazy as being somebody's mother.

Speaking of my little bean, she's doing so well at daycare that I'm actually looking forward to going back to work. She asks every morning if we're going to see "Sam and Melissa" her daycare providers. She rhymes off each child in her 'class' every evening and has even named some of her dolls after them.

The job; Its a book keeping place, and I'll be doing mostly reception and intro to books. Which to me is exciting because I feel like its the one area that I need to update on my resume. Its such a handy skillset to have, especially up here where jobs are extremely limited. I feel like the more I can offer an employer, the more set-apart from the crowd I am. I picture myself walking into an interview with one of those all-in-one music machines strapped to my back. Except instead of a tambourine, it's an Advertising Degree, and instead of an achordian its Experience in Graphic Design. Anyway, it's another chapter in my life that I'm looking forward to. I'm facing it with a fresh face and eager to learn attitude. And not to mention I get to look cute in my back-to-work clothes. Wow a reason to blow-dry my hair, finally!

I guess that's it around here...I was feeling rather nostalgic today as I took my daughter for our last Friday morning free-swim. I kept thinking of last September and how she was only 6 months old. In fact, she had just learned to crawl. Time has flown by, as now she is not only walking but RUNNING everywhere, and can say full sentences! Everyone tells me she's very early to be doing that though.. Still, amazing what a year does to a small person like her. What will come of our lives by next September?
