I'm back...

So I haven't blogged in forever...but I saw a lot of my friends putting blog posts up and it inspired me to start blogging again. I should have read my last posts to see what the last thing I wrote was but I'm pretty sure it was a long time ago haha. Andrew and I have been trying to save for a house the past couple months and our goal is to buy next spring/summer or possibly fall if we don't see anything we love. Our current place is perfect for us and really cheap but it would be nice to be putting our money into an asset! Andrew also switched jobs again....except it was a GREAT change. I have secretly been wanting this for a while but I've been trying to be a supportive wife with Andrew's dreams as well. Andrew went to work for my Dad! Which even though my Dad isn't the easiest person to work for....it means that Andrew will be a small vehicle mechanic instead of a motorbike mechanic. Anyone who knows Andrew, knows that he LOVES dirt bikes/snow mobiles/ motorbikes etc. but there isn't enough money to raise the size of family that we want and so this switch was welcomed with open arms. We have been so blessed since going to work for my Dad, we have been able to start saving for a house, the work environment is better and Andrew gets to come home for lunch everyday! I also started a job and then consequently quit two months later but that needs a post all to itself. I have been back at home for about 7 weeks now and I am so grateful I am able to be a stay at home mom. Even though we have to budget a bit better and may progress a little bit slower with our financial goals it is so worth it to stay home with my babe. I have been trying really hard to finish up my last couple photo sessions so I can focus on some other goals that I have had in the back of my mind (one of them is learning how to sew). I have been also cooking up a storm! One day I just got totally sick of the same old 10 meals we were rotating through and figured that I'm never going to get better at cooking till I try new things. This week I made a really yummy baked chicken dish, cinnamon apple pork roast and coconut chicken curry. Andrew really enjoyed the curry.....though I never grew up eating curry I thought I would make one of his favourites. I still do not enjoy curry but there was some yummy pork roast leftovers that I was happy to eat. I was planning on putting links up to the recipes and what changes I would make to each one, more for my own sake then for yours...I have a really bad memory with recipes.

Well my babe is back from her little outing with her Dad and she HATES when I'm on my computer. She is kind of a princess...

More updates to come! I have missed recording so many of her milestones!
