I am trying to keep the blog up-to-date in these weeks before the little lady decides to come. I have a feeling blogging might be hard for a while after, haha. So here are random things that have been going on...
My little sister and brother-in-law FINAAALLLYYY announced their pregnancy! (I've been keeping this secret since mid-July). They are having a little boy in March! I am so excited for our baby to have a little cousin BFF so close to her!! It will be so much fun!
We reunited with Bree!!! Bree has been one of my best friends since I was a freshman in college. We worked together at Haagen Dazs, she was probably even there when I met Nathan! She was my roomie twice, introduced me to cake bites and One Tree Hill, and basically saved my life while Nathan was on his mission. We just love her guts and are so glad she made a trip out to Utah!!
I've let Lady get her nap time in while she can. I might need to hire someone to snuggle her after the baby comes.
Had lunch with some of my favorite ladies!! Love them so much. And check out that outfit Michelle MADE me! She's so talented!!
Lady turned 2 and we celebrated! Because we are weirdos like that.
Trying to take pictures after she has seen and smelled the tuna was a really bad idea.
One of the biggest things happening in our life right now is that this guy is now my boss..
Right??
I looked around a lot for some work from home opportunities. I have found that I feel pretty dang useless when I am not bringing in any income. I knew I wanted to stay at home, but really wanted to help with expenses. One day I made a joke that I could work for Nathan. He was quiet for a minute and then said, "Well actually.." And then we were making some plans. Nathan is manager of a department in his company. I won't bore you with details of what he does, mostly because it's still a little confusing to me, but he manages several people, and quite a few of them travel around the mid-west to extract medical records for insurance companies. They recently got a ton more work and booking the travel (between flights, rental cars, hotels, per-diem, making sure the timing is perfect etc.), had become quite the task. Nathan doesn't have time to do it with his busy schedule, so the company accountant was doing it. With the extra traveling coming in, it was just too much. So Nathan went to his boss and said, "How bout' I hire my wife to do all this from home." And his boss was like, "Totes!" and then just a few days after I made my joke about working for him, I was his part-time travel coordinator. It's awesome. I will usually be doing it all from home, but since there is no baby yet, I have been going to work with him and booking the travel and organizing things from his office with him. I like to hang out with him during the day. He's a pretty hot boss. It's such a great opportunity because I can essentially make my own hours, and it will really help out with our expenses! I am kind of a hyper-organized person, so it's actually been a lot of fun to work with Nathan and set up a system of how he will send me the travel requests, how I will complete them all, how I will organize all confirmations and keep track of who is where and for how long, and other boring things of that nature that are actually really fun for me. I am talking a lot about this. I am just excited that we found a work from home job that works out so perfectly!
Other than that, we are basically just hanging out.. counting down the days... :)
