Kicking things off

Well, now seems like as good a time as any to get this thing started. Chris starts his training program on September 9, and Jack starts preschool on September 3. The baby is due in January, and between now and then, we have to figure out how to become a family of 4. When this baby was conceived, times were much simpler.

Chris had a great job, and I was enjoying my time at home with Jack. The last few months have been pretty up-side down for us. Starting off with Chris losing his incredible job. So, we've joined the ranks of the unemployed. Receiving help from the very incredible in-laws, and my parents. While trying not to feel 2ft. tall doing all this, we're also preparing to take charge of another life, joining us "when the snow falls" as Jack reminds me.

So, we're currently just trying to keep our heads on straight. Trying to see through all the current bullshit, into the future when we won't be so poor, we won't be so dependent, and we'll still have the wonderful family we're building right now.

Amazingly enough, after spending the last 4 months straight at home with Chris and Jack, we don't want to kill each other. Love is grand.
