Wow, I really have not posted anything on this in awhile eventhough this past year has really been the most transitional and dramatic changes.
It has been great adjusting to all of the challenges life has thrown at me this past year with Monique right there with me. We started the year off by selling my Corolla to upgrade to a Jetta with safety and comfort in mind. Then I got offered by my departing boss at Georgetown to go with him to MPAA, at first I was hesitant but then weighed the possibility of entering a new environment and learning a new professional industry, the pay raise and promotion also helped make this decision an easy one for me.
Then in February we found out that Monique was pregnant. Talk about a big change since we were so cautious the first few months of the pregnancy with what she could eat, how much sleep and exercise she could or should get, what tv shows/movies she could watch, all the doctor appointments, and morning sickness… and after the first few months things we got to manage ourselves more and enjoy being a married couple expecting their first child
.
The next big adjustment came when we finally were able to move out from my parent’s house and into a brand new condominium complex. Though it is only a 1 bedroom condo, it will definitely be filled with happiness and discovery. Our first baby will get to experience living in such a nice place as we are trying to decide what our next move would be when we outgrow the one bedroom. Ideally, we would like to retain the one bedroom for as long as possible while also look to get a townhouse or large apartment for the future family growth…
That is a mini update of things that have gone on so far in 2007. I will try and update this site more frequently especially with Vicente V coming in October!
