So Tired

Well my first week back to work is coming to a close.  I'm not going to lie ... working only 3 days is pretty great... it's nice seeing your fake Friday come so quickly.  Only thing is... I'M SO TIRED!!!  It's amazing what uninterrupted sleep can do for you.  Even though Jocie has always enjoyed sleeping until around 11 AM... it's still rough getting up every few hours.  She has been doing just great though.  Going back to work has not been an easy transition for her.  But we are blessed to have found a wonderful person to watch her, who loves on my baby as much as I would if I were able to be with her.  The last two days Jocie has had to get used to eating out of a bottle (more than just once a week) and that has been a transition in it's self... then adding on being in a new environment, not being with mommy and being forced to get up earlier ... not the easiest for a little one.  But she is just amazing and is doing great!  I mean... waking up and looking like this... well, it makes me day easier... this right here... just gets me going and how can it not make me happy!
Getting back into the habit of getting up early hasn't been too difficult, but at the same time isn't pleasant.  Right around this time each day (12/1 pm)... my body is telling me ... it wants to sleep.  So I just plug through the rest of my day, hoping it will go quickly, anxiously awaiting the moment that I can see my baby, hug her and kiss her... and best of all.. have mommy and Jocie snuggle cat nap time :).

Well I feel as if I'm rambling, here's to hoping that the rest of my day flies by.  Here's to anxiously awaiting the moment I get to see this!  And most of all, here's to enjoying the next 4 days with my sweet Peanut!

Well after about a year and a half hiatus ... I've decided it's time to start blogging again.  I guess you can say a few things have changed. :)  On January 30th at 5:43 pm we welcomed into the world our sweet precious baby girl Jocelyn Mildred Denison.  She is our pride and joy and we can't imagine life with out her!! :)  I can hardly believe that she is almost 3 months old (in one week)... Where has the time gone??

We'll be doing more posts... more often ... and with plenty of pictures of our sweet girl, and even some videos :)
Jake has just started a new quarter, he is enjoying it but at the same time is anxious to be done.  He has 4 quarters remaning (including this one), and then the job hunt begins.  We've decided to go wherever the job takes us, so we shall see :).
I've started back at work, this is my first week back.  My job has been wonderful enough to allow me to work Mon-Wed only, which allows me 4 straight days with my beautiful baby girl!!! Oh how I love every minute with her.
Back on March 21, Our sweet little niece Alyson Nicole Gallup was born (aka: Little Foot), we have yet to meet her in person... but love getting lots of pictures of her and even face timing.  Oh the wonderful world of Technology.
Upcoming Events: We are anxiously awaiting for May 15th to arrival... When Sweet Peanut will get to meet her Uncle Michael!!! Michael will be returning home from his two year mission in Guatemala!! We are all excited to see him, and I am very excited for him to meet his new niece.  
Next big Event: May 25th~ We are excited for Heather Denison's upcoming marriage to Tyler Hendrickson! Yay for new additions to the family!  So far, from what we've seen ... it looks to be a beautiful wedding!! Heather is going to be a beautiful bride, and Tyler a handsom groom in his Air Force Blues :).  We will be sure to post pictures of the beautiful day!

Well ... I think I will end my post ... with a little video of Sweet Peanut!... she sure does love her binki!!!

A Torn Feeling

As you may have noticed I went with an "Autumn" based theme for the blog for right now, the reasoning for that is ... well I thought it was obvious. I LOVE AUTUMN. I absolutely love this time of year. The cool breeze, the light rain, the color of the leaves. It reminds me of my childhood in Northern California, I miss those days of walking home from school (never thought I'd say that) and the feel of Autumn in the air, coming home to the smell of fresh baked bread... mmmmmm.... My excitement for this time of year is beyond expression and my desire to be a cute little stay at home wifey is greater than ever. I spend time at work just imagining having a cute decorated Autumn themed living room/home, all the wonderful homemade meals I can make and or bake (if only I had the time to do so). The feel of Autumn is in the air, Halloween decorations will soon be emerging and believe me do I have plans for that one!Oh the memories of the past and memories to be made.

Now you may be wondering with my love for this time of year why in the world would I be having this torn feeling well I'll tell you why.... my favorite season is upon us however at the same time my sweet husband will be starting school. Now I'm not saying that I'm not happy that he is starting school because I am. I am beyond excited for him and so happy to see how happy and excited HE is about this new adventure we are about to embrace together, he is getting closer bit by bit to fulfilling his dreams, however.... I am a bit selfish.

I can't express how much I have loved these past 15 months of being married, every night coming home to my sweety, every night sitting down and having dinner with him, going to bed early or staying up late, doing what we want when we want but more importantly we got to be together. My favorite place to be is with Jake! And now I have to share my time with something else :(. I guess you could say it's a torn feeling x2 I can't wait for Autumn, I am so excited for Jake to start school .... but I have to stop being selfish ...hahahahaha sounds ridiculous I know.

I know what you might be thinking ... "get over it, stop being ungrateful, all couples go through

this". Well I know that, and I now it will all pay off in the end, I am beyond excited for this next stepping stone in our lives. I guess I should just be happy that we had that first year together! Well what can I say ... I guess I can add to my lists of obsession: Jake!!!

Here it is ....

So I've never blogged before and I've thought about it for a long time... I need to blog... so here it is ... the start of our blog. (You know how they say "what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine"... well that's how it's gonna be with this blog I guess, when it comes to Jake and I). I've been telling Jake for months now... "I'm gonna start a blog for us I'm gonna start one... really I am". So finally last night after months of my brother Dave haggling me about my "lame site" ... I said "That's it ... the blog starts tomorrow".

The funny thing is I've always thought ... can I have a blog... do I have enough to talk about... I mean ... I have thoughts... believe it or not... most of the time they are pretty random and I think it's amazing how I think about one thing and in a matter of seconds the thought has transitioned into something totally different. But then I decided... well yes.. I CAN do it... I used to be an avid journal writer and then a few years ago I some how dropped that habit, so hopefully this one will stick. Now that wasn't the funny thing ... the real funny thing is that I thought "can I do this" ... and when I told my sister Rebekah that I was starting a blog she said "nice... do you have enough to write about?" ... hahaha I guess I'll find stuff :D ... so ... if you are ever bored by my posts ... too bad... lol ... and if you think they are interesting or funny... GREAT!

So there it is ... the Blog has officially been started ... (and Dave my site is now way COOL!)
