My first North Carolina post

Ok, so, like I promised.  I will be updating the blog more often.  I'm still getting settled and half my clothes are still in bins.  It's challenging to put everything away when it's just Samantha and I at home.  I haven't been very adventerous yet either.  I have to admit, Im intimidated by Salisbury.  There are some questionable parts :)  I just have to learn where they are.
I'm going to set small goals... such as, go to the visitor center on Monday or Tuesday.  I figure that may be a good place to start to see what this town has to offer.  There are no mommy groups, at least not registered.  Everyone in our apartment complex works, go figure, so I can't meet anyone during the day either.  Making friends when you're 31... difficult haha.  I've only been here a week and a half.. so plenty of time.
In the meantime.. here are some pictures of Samantha.  Can you believe she will be 7 months old this week!  Holy crap.  I've also added a picture of PJ and what he's doing at his new job. :) Also, the last one on this page is a video of Samantha playing soccer.. you'll see what I mean.

I suck at this

Ok ok ok... I know all of you are mad at me for totally sucking at keeping up to date with this blog.  I promise this will all change.  As many of you may know, PJ, Samantha and I (and the dogs) are relocating to North Carolina!  PJ is already down there, somewhat unpacked, and today is his first day at his new job.  He is working for RCR Racing.  To all you NON-Nascar fans, that's Richard Childress Racing.  Go ahead and google it. :)  I had too.  He will be doing the design, printing and installation of the NASCAR graphics for this racing team.  Regardless of how you feel about NASCAR, that's pretty cool!! 
I've been looking for jobs, applying, etc.. nothing yet, so with that being said, this blog will be updated MUCH more often.  My goal is to update this at least twice a week.  I will not be down there until the week after Christmas.  So please be patient with me!!

I will definitely be uploading Christmas pictures as soon as possible.  In the meantime, I'll add two pictures that I've taken with my phone.  Just to hold you over.

To catch you up just a bit....
November FLEW by.  Poor Samantha was sick for pretty much all of it.  She had bronchitis and a sinus infection.  She was on a nebulizer.  It broke my heart.  She was so good though.  She remained relatively happy during the whole sickness.  She is now with Grandma (miranda) every day until I move.  She's having a great time and boy is she getting big!

I miss all of you.. please follow the blog so you don't miss any updates from us!
Merry Christmas!

Sam discovers winnie

It was like all of a sudden, Samantha noticed there was a dog following her around.  Poor Boomer, Samantha definitely prefers Winnie, for now anyways.

Samantha's first time eating oatmeal!

So we tried the rice cereal to start.. she got a rash from it!  So we tried the oatmeal cereal and boy did she love it.  See the video and pictures below :)

More pictures from daycare!!

Samantha is adjusting to daycare!  She's happier and taking better naps.  The other kids are her entertainment.  Kellie, her daycare provider sends me pictures and texts through out the day.  Here are some of my favorites.

Samantha's 2nd Photoshoot - Pumpkin Patch - Oct 23rd

So Samantha had her 2nd photo shoot.  She was just a few days over her four month mark. (can you believe it!!)  Nicole, who did her 6 week pictures, helped us out once again by meeting us in the pumpkin patch for a little fall fun!  She was much easier to work with this time, haha.
ENJOY!  Here are some of our favs!

There is so much to catch up on!

Who knew it'd be so hard to keep up this blog.  As soon as I have step one of four done.. I have to stop and do something else!! AH!  I'll be putting up a couple posts.. definitely NOT in chronological order.  But enjoy!
