New Job, New Year, things are changing quick around here!

I am kicking myself for not taking before and after pictures around here.  In the past two weeks, we have totally moved and re-done the guest room.  We are in the process of putting together all of my office furniture.... and we still have a ton to do in the Nursery and Play Room. 

This is how Tim decided to paint Jonny's room

(aka the new Guest Room)

Why would anyone want to wear clothes while painting?  That would just make for more to clean up.  There is never a dull moment around here.

This week marked the first week of Tim and I both working from home.  We are learning spacial boundaries, but overall it went better than expected.  Tim does still expect to be brought meals if I am here, but Lexi has proven to be the neediest by far.  Poor baby sits and stares at me like this all day long :( 

She can't seem to figure out why I am home, but not loving on her all day.  She has tried on several occasions to sit in my lap when I work, and decides she wants to go outside or needs food about every 15 minutes.  What is she going to do when Baby gets here???

So far working for myself is going really well.  I figured out early on that I need to stay on my schedule.   It would be really easy to go to classes at the gym at 8:30 every day, do a quiet time and then run errands until noon, but that wouldn't be great for business.  I am making myself get to my desk no later than 9 and working until at least 4.  I will probably become more flexible with my guidelines, but for now, I need a routine.

Luckily in parting with Doug, he gave me several of my cases to continue working.  I have also been fortunate enough to pick up several cases on the side.  (3 new ones this week!)  I am working on some business marketing, etc. and will probably become the annoying Facebook advertiser sometime towards the end of February.  Get ready! 

Now for the fun stuff!

Last weekend was NYE.  We had a fun, laid back evening, with two of our favorite couples.  For some reason we don't have a group shot, but here are the couple pics!

The Stephens

 The Cronenworth's

 ...and Us

We went out to dinner, then back to the Stephens' to play some Clue.  We are Wild and Crazy... Watch out!  It was the perfect way to spend New Years.  I wouldn't mind making it a tradition!

In other news, my baby bump is finally starting to show a little!  I got asked for the first time on Tuesday (by someone who didn't know) if I was pregnant.  Bring on the stretch pants and long sweaters. 

This weekend has been the calmest one we have had in a long time.  We are enjoying hanging around the house and scrubbing it.  I should probably put some makeup on for dinner tonight!  I am trying to kick the last of a sinus infection.  I am supposed to be heading to Houston on Monday to meet EJ and spend some time with Maite, Eric, Brittany and the Davis', but I gotta get rid of this junk first.  I'm pretty pumped about the trip.  This drainage is not going to get me down!

Can't wait to blog next weekend about all my fun Houston adventures.  Be warned, it will probably be all about EJ.  Just a preview of what this blog is going to look like come June!
