life, milestone, and other junk.

It's been a while since I really blogged about my life. Even now I don't have much to say, but wow have we been busy and exhausted... almost all the time. Our only day off in the past week was Saturday because of weekend staff participating in KU's graduation (and the fact that many subs were unavailable also because of graduation).

Luke and I have decided to change up our work schedule... we work together and it's a little bit flexible during the day, so now Luke has decided to take on the brunt of the work instead of us working equal amounts. We're in our second week of doing this and it already is working so much better. This way I'm available during the day to do the paperwork that needs to get done, as well as taking care of Adelle in her own home and having some time to pursue some of my own personal interests (I don't know if I mentioned that I'm working on a graphic design website). I already can feel this change helping our marriage so much and I'm so glad that Luke is willing to take on the extra responsibility. If you've never tried it, it is really challenging working with your spouse, especially this kind of job where it so easily spills into our personal relationship. This new schedule has really helped a lot though. We're not around each other ALL day long, so then we can appreciate the evenings/weekends more.

In other news, ADELLE IS 6 MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!! That is such a milestone that I can't believe she's there already! My sister Lori took some pics of her yesterday and I can't wait to see the best shots! maybe i'll post a pic of her before bed from ON her birthday. I'm going to write her a letter tonight and also write down the things she can do/almost can do right at this moment.

That's all for now!

I love the letter thing. Make sure to include enough gooshy stuff that she feels guilty whenever she reads it and feels obligated to get you a pretty sweet Mother's day present.

Because really, that's what it's all about.

I like your new schedule too - now I can actually see you sometimes! (Thanks, Luke).
I'm uploading some pics for you right this minute. Sorry - busy day!
