Something New!

The time has come for our family to enter the world of blogging. I have tried my best to keep family and friends updated on Brylee through babysites.com, but after a year I have reached my limit on "free" space. This is something new for those of you we don't see as much as we would like, including our wonderful friends. No, we have not dropped off the face of the Earth, we are parents!

This is what has been happening with us...Jared graduated Friday with his M.B.A! He is relieved to be done with that chapter of his life but is quickly become bored. Only time will tell what will come next. My only thought on the subject, I am not calling him Doctor! He is yet again playing softball and yet again twisted his ankle. Luckily nothing was broke.

I have been busy myself. I am staying home at least one more year. I started a business is January called "The Craft Crate". It has taken me much longer than anticipated to get started. It will hopefully be online in the next few weeks. I will start teaching continuing education classes at Amarillo College at the end of August. I think this will be a great experience. I basically plan my own schedule and class content. I will be teaching 2 scrapbook classes in the fall. I have been asked to consider adding early childhood classes as well in coming semesters.

Last, but certainly not least, Miss Brylee Kate! Oh, what I could say about her. Today is a special day. As of noon, she has been home one year! I can't believe how time passes before our eyes. I would have never imagined one year ago that I would be typing this blog during her nap after a day at the pool. Life is good! She is awesome. She is so ready to walk if she could only build the courage to let go of mommy and daddy's finger. To tell the truth, I am not that anxious for that day to come. I want her to be my baby as long as possible. I couldn't ask for anything more in a child. She is smart, happy and most importantly HEALTHY!
