i'm not even too sure what was happening the last time i blogged, but if you didn't guess from my absence, just about everything has changed. i went back to work in the icu while thomas was in the middle of a work frenzy. with family help, we made it work for me to train on day shift and get all my studying done, after 12 long weeks i went to night shift and have settling well into working my 3 nights a week. not long into that big adjustment, we started looking at possibly buying a new house. that second income was burning a hole in our pockets. we decided to only settle on our dream home, made a list and spent a lot of sundays driving around, scouting and talking while baby girl napped.
to make a long story short, we happened upon our dream home, everything happen to fall into place and the rest is really all a stressful (buying a house now, not to mention a second home, is a little more stressful now than it was 9 years ago) history. we have now been in our new home for 2 months are a settling in well.
besides new adventures in mom going back to work and moving to a new home, we have now become the owners of a small vineyard and we are setting off in learning the ways of wine farming. we figure there's about a 3 year learning curve...but we're going to drink the crap in between and hopefully have something really tasty to share. good and bad, we hope to document our adventures here (with a little extra about the baby). p.s. for some reason this 'new' blogger isn't so great with picture formatting...and all you get are instagram photos until i have some regular internet.
Hey! I haven't checked your blog for ages but I was excited to read about the vineyard. That's great.
ReplyDeleteI am still interested in the sourdough starter if you still have it. Things aren't as crazy around here lately so we might have better luck using it. Thanks!
