I'm sure that Justin will probably frown upon my new undertaking...starting a family blog. According to him this is way too "liberal" (a word that he uses for anything he dislikes these days) but now that we are going to have a little one roaming the house soon, this seems to be the best, easiest, most fun way to share big and little moments with friends and family.
The first order of business is getting all of you caught up. It's hard to believe a little over a year ago we were loading up a moving truck and making the 1800 mile trip back home from Maine. We knew we were going to miss it but underestimated just how much. After the New Year last year, I started a position with a company called Ag 1 Source and will be celebrating my one year anniversary with them January 5th. Justin went back working for Enterprise Products, the company he was working for before we left for Maine. The good news is that he has been working close to home for the most part instead of traveling for weeks at a time. Cross your fingers this stays the same in 2010.
After months of searching, decision making and offers made and retracted, we finally bought a house in the little town of Sedgwick which is just North of Wichita. We pretty much have everything you need in Sedgwick; a gas station, a restaurant, a liquor store, car wash, vet and body shop. What more do you need??? Don't worry ladies, I can make it to New Market Square in 20 minutes flat for some good shopping, 18 if I hurry.
In early September we found out that we are being blessed with a new addition to our little family and this time it is not a four legged, furry creature. Baby Mills is due June 4th. What an amazing journey it has been. We have been trying for almost a year to have a baby and it's funny how God works. For those of you that know me and know me well, I am not a big Summer fan. I just think the world would be great if it was 67 degrees year round. And secondly, we've always joked that we were on the 5 year plan for having kids. Well...we are due June 4th which is just 14 days shy of our 5 year anniversary and hopefully I won't have to be pregnant in weather above 85 degrees.
So you want to know what to expect from this blog. Well, plan on lots of baby updates, family information, fun and quirky stories with the occasional venting episodes. And after June 4th expect LOTS of pictures and baby stories. We are so excited to be parents and want to share our excitement with each of you.
Lots of Love,
Justin and Lacey
