Andrew decided we should share a blog to embrace our year of new beginnings. He failed to ask me, his very pregnant wife, if I wanted to participate in this venture. I've tried blogging. I love to write but the pressure of a blog proved too much and I failed--it has been nearly two years since my last post. Though he didn't ask if I wanted to be a part of this blog, or have a very silly picture of me posted, I guess blogging as a couple is less pressure than blogging all by myself. Maybe the competition of posting more than my husband will spur me on to share our adventures in parenting and dog loving in the weeks and months to come.
In the five and half years that we've been married, if any year warrants a blog, this is it. We are leaving West Virginia to return to New York, we've embraced having two dogs, Andrew is graduating from law school, we are looking for houses to buy, Andrew is beginning his career at Brautigam and Brautigam, and oh yeah, we are having a baby boy.
For now, apart from the dogs, we are waiting for everything to happen. It feels like we are waiting for Christmas but do not know when Christmas will come. While we are waiting, our lives are slowing embracing the inevitable changes that are coming: my belly is enormous, it has been eight weeks since I last ran , and our second bedroom is no longer filled with bikes but instead is covered in safari animals with tiny clothes and toys filling the shelves.
Even though I didn't consent to this blog (and neither did the dogs), I am incredibly excited about what this next year holds for our family and am thrilled to share a glimpse into our life with our far away friends and family.
