The Hand Me Down House: After two years.....

Anyone out there? It's only been, um, 2+ years since I've posted. And I can tell you so much has happened. Just as I'm sure two years changes a lot in your life too. So where did I leave off? I stopped blogging to focus more on my job with the family plumbing and heating company. At the same time my husband's position change at work made his work-life balance almost all work :( So I gave up blogging to do the more important things in life. It was a good break, and completely necessary in order to keep me focused on what truly mattered. Then big changes came along and I well, blogging was at the bottom of my list. But - I will be back (on a new blog). So here's my big changes in the past two years:

BIG CHANGE #1:

Meet Adrienne June:

My little sweetie (now already 15 months old) has consumed my days and nights -- and I LOVE it. She arrived on May 29, 2012 and this spunky, little chicky has filled our worlds with joy.

You can follow me on Instagram to see oodles of pictures of her :)

And because of Big Change #1, Big Change #2 had to happen (I sound as if I've read too many Dr. Seuss books, right??)

BIG CHANGE #2:

Goodbye Hand Me Down House.....a little sad, but very excited, too. We are moving! I'm super, duper excited -- but honestly, as I'm packing up my house (especially Adri's room), I'm getting a little teary-eyed. We put so much work and love into this house that it will be sad to go, but I'm so excited for our new adventure on Parkridge Drive :)

(I am hoping to have a little bit of time to get up some final before and after pictures. We updated a lot since I've been absent from my blog and I think it'd be fun to see the final product).

I also think I might like to start a new blog (or add on to this one??) with all the changes we will be making at the new house. It's outdated, but we love the style, layout and neighborhood.

BIG CHANGE #3:

In addition to my job with my family's plumbing & heating company, I've added one more venture to my list :) I have created an activewear site that carries some awesome brands. This is where I've been blogging recently. I got serious about exercise and healthy eating after Adrienne was born (yup, I packed on 40 lbs -- ugh). But it eventually all came back off (and that 5 lbs I was trying to shed before I got pregnant even) with a little extra work.
