I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaack

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've been inspired to write at all. My small nuclear family and myself have been through a bit of a transition and I am just now beginning to feel like myself again. I feel as though I can reflect a little bit at this point more honestly and get a move on with the future. Having a baby is like getting an Atom bomb dropped on your world.

What just happened?

For the first few months, I truly felt like a shell-shocked soldier wandering through this fake nightmare. 

Is this how its going to be forever now?

I have to admit, becoming a mom was really cool, but it was hard getting used to it, along with adjusting to our new location in the country. I think becoming parents was hard to adjust to for both myself and my husband. But FINALLY, that Atom bomb looks more like this:

YAY!!!

I think one of the big hurtles to get over was the dreaded kitchen remodel. I won't spend a lot of time on this, but here is the before and after. If you're in the market for a remodel, may I suggest Diox Ua LLC. Great experience with a very talented designer / architect.

With that said, lets move on.

I didn't think I would love living in the City of Townsville, but it recently snowed out here and man, was it beautiful. I happened to have a bunch of days off in a row, so I got to batten down the hatches and hang with my little man, my hooligans, and my husband. It was quiet, and pretty, and people in these parts got out their snowmobiles and had some fun! 

I had Pandora on the Christmas station.

Outside the french doors in our bedroom.

Part of our property in the back.

Needless to say Toot and I took advantage of the snow and went for a walkabout almost everyday. I dropped my phone in the snow back there and had quite a work out trying to retrieve it. What do you know? A bag of rice really works. My phone was in the snow for 2 hours and its alive to tell the tale! I really wanted to build an inappropriate snowman, but the snow melted quick. It only stuck around for a few days. Next year. 

Damnit Mom! 

That's better.

So, with all that said, here is the beginning of a new chapter in the blog saga. This time, I will be posting about our projects on our little property, the fucked up shit I see in the City of Townsville, adjusting to life out here vs. Urban Life, and everything in between. 

Here's to being happy :)
