Well, I’m back! I can’t believe how fast time has gone! One minute I am talking about my resolutions for 2015, and the next, it’s 2017?? Well as I am sure as anyone can imagine, time has flown by and Loren and I have gone through some MAJOR life changes since talking about my resolutions for 2015.
The first change being that our family has grown by one person! That’s right, Loren and I welcomed a precious baby girl, Madison Elizabeth, on December 11th of 2015. Our whole journey has been such a humbling and rewarding experience, and we are very blessed that we were able to welcome such a sweet little girl into our lives. I am also excited to be able to share that journey with you all.

The other change that happened for our family was that both Loren and I started new jobs. I switched districts and grade levels. While I was so sad to be leaving my amazing team that I had spent 2 years with; I was excited to start my new journey teaching 4th grade math, science, and Texas history. It is the complete opposite of what I have taught in the past, but it is so much and I am learning so much from the experience. I have also come to meet some really amazing women who make coming to work each day a joy. Loren also started a new job. He is now an assistant band director at the high school level. It is sort of a dream job for him, but does require a lot more of a time commitment. I couldn’t be prouder of the work he has put in, and although we are very busy, we wouldn’t change it for the world.

my wonderful partner, I literally wouldn’t know what to do without her
If you are friends with either of this on Facebook, none of this is a surprise, but as we begin 2017, I hope to dive in a little deeper into my pregnancy journey, motherhood, and trying to balance home, work, and play. Can’t wait to share with you!
XOXO, Amie
