Besides that, here is a few important things that have happened during my "hiatus" from blogging:
I gave birth on August 5th at 6:03pm to this little miracle. His name is Miles Thomas. He was 6 lbs. 4 oz., and 21 3/4 inches long. He is the JOY of my life and I thank God every single day for this gift. My husband, Eric, is an AMAZING daddy. He is such a huge help to me and I am so blessed with his servant heart. Miles is now 3 1/2 months old. He's smiling, starting to roll over, and (THANK GOD) he's sleeping through the night! For a full time working mom, that's amazing! So that has been my life lately... I went back to working full time on October 8th. I hate the 45 minute daily commute and not being able to spend my days at home raising Miles, but I am thankful for the daycare on site at my company where I can go check on Miles at lunchtime. But I'm praying God has it in His plans for me to stay home with Miles eventually, or at least part-time. Being a mommy is a desire of my heart God has fulfilled and I am so grateful.
Miles has also been on two trips home to Indiana. (For any new readers who don't know me well, mine and my husband's families are all from Indiana. We both grew up there, but after getting married, moved to Arizona in 2010. I still call Indiana "home".) We flew home in September to spend time with Eric's Grandpa after he was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. The last week of October we flew back again to mourn his grandpa's death and celebrate my little sister's wedding (all in one week!) We're looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with extended family here in AZ, then flying to L.A. to spend the weekend with friends!
So now that you have an update... I'm going to photo bomb you with my little man... ENJOY!
