Ok ok...I haven't blogged in forever. I'm like the horrible online guru blogger. I like to look at everybody else's blog and then think to myself about what I should blog about...until I've realized I've been contemplating for hours and so it's time to go to bed. This has been my life for the past several months ;)
Updates to our life:
We now live in the beautiful state of North Carolina with all the trees (yay) and all the traffic (yuck)! But nonetheless, we love it so far! Our child is now almost 16 months old and has an attitude at times to prove it, more updates on her in a different paragraph. Amanda started at UNC and as she put it...and she made it through her first night on call with 55 babies, I would say that is a success! I have transferred with Regions and now work in Raleigh, stressful, but good...some days are harder than others I suppose. Rebound likes his new house, except for the stairs, but definitely enjoys barking at the bunnies and the deer that come into the yard. Our life has settled down a bit and we now feel like we're home...except for our neighborhood...boy do we miss our neighbors in Nola.
Onto Regan:
She will be 16 months in 4 days and I cannot believe where the time has gone. Quickly time flies when you have to keep up with a little girl who's hair is starting to turn wavy, giggles if you dance in front of her, watches tv with us and claps at the appropriate times after a dance on 'So you think you Can Dance,' throws the ball mostly in the right direction, slides down the stairs...and then goes back up the stairs, knows exactly what she wants but doesn't have the big girl words to tell us, gives hugs and kisses, loves shopping, plays on playgrounds, sits at the big girl table, drinks out of sippy cups that are not meant for her age, eats gogurt (with some help of course), loves her sunglasses, and her puppy...and so much more. Our life has continued with more adventures. Never did I realize that Regan would be able to turn me into a Mama...a person that I longed to be for so long, but didn't truly understand the meaning until she came into my life. I had my perceptions of what parenthood would be like, but it has most definitely been more than I could have ever imagined and I am so thankful to continue all the fun we're having :) Amanda and I are so proud of her, for the learning and the growing that she has done in just the past couple of months...cannot imagine what is too come, but we're ready!
Promise that there will be more updates to come...I will be better about putting my thoughts onto the blog that I'm quite sure everyone wants to read about it :)
Love,
The England's (AKA...Cheryl)
