What a year. The blog hasn't seen much action, has it? Seems like everyone has kind of abandoned the journal in favor of 2 second posts on fb but I'm going to keep this going even if I'm the only one. Sometimes I feel like writing more than I'm willing to share with fb "friends" that I haven't spoken to in 20 years. lol
So the first two weeks on the job have been superb. I'm very nervous but it's a good thing. The kind of nervous that will make sure I do a good job. As opposed to not ever even making it to OKC on time because I had nothing to do once I got there. ;) Well ok maybe it wasn't quite that bad, but almost. This job will be much more intense and I am so excited and lucky to have this opportunity. I hope this is a place I can stay for a long time.
My office is a big ugly empty space. I've got to find a way to make it "me." I do have a great big window with a view of Boulder which is not all that exciting but hey, it's sunlight.
Kaia is doing so great, she's learning and growing and... eating! I don't want to jinx myself but she has eaten really well the past three days. Right now, she's polishing off some dry cheerios after eating a whole biscuit for breakfast. Then she climbed in my lap and started making faces at me...we were all three laughing so hard our cheeks hurt. I want everyone to go make a baby. Right now. :)
The house hunting has been pretty fun. We are finding neighborhoods in Tulsa that we would really like to live in, beyond what we already knew about. We saw a couple yesterday around TU that were pretty great. Just not quite "it" yet though high on the list of possibilities. The problem we're having really is space. What we can afford in the areas we want = pretty small. But anyway, it's been great and we can't wait to move back home.
Thanksgiving was great, my nephews (12, 10 and 8) were all smitten with Kaia; Stephen and Ben particularly doted on her. She had a great couple of weekends with family. Mark & Candice on weekend, my family the next... she loved chasing the cats and dogs and kids. It's fun to see her experience new things and have fun.
Life is good.
Growin' up gorgeous

Tonks wants to know where her play friend went. : )
We won't clean the glass front door because there are little hand prints left on it from someone we love.
I don't blog anymore because I'm depressed and in pain and every has been hearing that for a while so no need in repeating it.
It was great to see you this weekend! It is wonderful to see you guys so happy! Seems everything is working out for the best even if it was in kind of a round about way! ;)
What's the next ride we are going to do together? :)
Better not be Hotter 'n Hell.
Steph, you sound really happy. Congratualtions on your success and your beautiful girl. Any plans for the big 2nd B-Day in a couple of months?
It was so great to see you 3 this weekend. Buddha loved playing with Kaia. Those 2 were so funny.
We can't wait until you guys are moved and settled in. Jeremy and I would love to babysit the girl anytime you want. She is and angel and we adore her!
We know what you mean about the space/cost issue in Tulsa. Hence we are in a little house but in a neighborhood we love. There are some great places close to TU- we looked at several houses in the 11th-21st street ranges.
I have abandoned the blogging until dissertation ends- not that I am writing.
Your girl is adorable. Glad she is eating- sounds like a growth spurt is coming.
If you guys are in town looking at houses and just need some downtime don't hesitate to call or come by. We are just off Cherry Street. You are welcome anytime.
I quit blogging for several reason. The biggest was that people were making fun of me for sharing my life. It started making me feel really uncomfortable to be "me".
Steph, things seem so great for you and keep looking for that house. I'm so happy for you.
