This year has already started off on a great foot. Nathan started his new job yesterday as the newest irrigation technician for Madrona Point and loves it. He says it is pretty slow right now but that is due to weather. Once it warms up a little his plate will be filled! Audrey is learning to crawl and stand up with help. She is not keen on the crawling part yet but we just have to work on it daily. She is getting so big and I cant believe that she will be 1 in less then 5 months. I have already started to plan her birthday and we have decided to go with a jungle buddy theme with lots of giraffes, elephants and of coarse MONKEYS! We initially wanted to have it at the zoo but after some research have decided that it is way out of our budget and we are looking for another venue! Several of my really good friends have babies around Audrey's age so it will be fun to watch them all play together and eat cake! For Christmas and my birthday I received a ton of new cake decorating tools so I will be making Audrey's birthday cake and cupcakes, I can't wait! I am going to make her a monkey cake with different animal face cupcakes! Having Audrey in our lives have made us feel complete. We cannot wait until she can walk and talk and learn to dress herself and pick out clothes! She is amazing and our little angel. For me this year holds hopefully going back to school for culinary arts at Clover Park Technical College. I have had a passion for cooking and baking since I could remember and have lately been doing a lot of it at home! I also want to buy a new car and take a trip to Vegas with Nathan as he has never been. We have been doing research and can go for a little under a week for only about $1000! We mainly want to go for the sights and The Phantom of the Opera, we don't gamble so we don't have to worry about losing any money. Also Nathan and I are wanting to move within the next 6 months but before we can do that we must save save save just in case the economy takes another trip down the crapper. Also I have a goal of doing more walking and just getting more fresh air this year. I have an amazing stroller and I do not use it enough, so my friend Christy, who has a daughter who is 11 days older then Audrey, and I are going to start walking as often as possible around the park, weather permitting of coarse! I am so excited for this year and all of the new possibilities in front of us. Its is already going great with Nathan having a new job and I am going back to school and Audrey almost being 1 and just spending more time with those we love!
