From the past few months, here are the days we don't want to forget:
(And if you want the short version: there's a baby baking in my oven, Scott graduated from dental school, we moved to Las Vegas!)
May 4 & May 6: We flew home to surprise our parents and let them know their days as just "parents" are numbered...they're bumping up to grandparents soon! We also got to stop by and surprise lots of other family members with the news.
May 9: Bleeding on Probing: The Farewell Show. It was loud, it was epic, and it ended with Scott smashing his bass guitar into a dozen pieces, so it pretty much couldn't have gone any better.
May 11: Senior formal, where all the fourth-year dental kids get dressed up and bring their dates and have a final hurrah. I also made this dress (more on that when I start getting caught up!).
May 23: A day 4 years in the making. What absolute joy and pride to watch your husband bestowed with the title of "Doctor" after the all-night studies and the exams and letting him give you fillings. This guy earned it, big time.
May 30: Here's the part where we packed up our New York apartment and said good-bye to NYC. We spent our last night in New York sitting on the roof of our building, watching the sunset behind the George Washington Bridge, eating Magnolia cupcakes. It could not have been more perfect.
June 1: We moved to the fabulous LAS VEGAS! The rumors are true: the desert is blazing hot. But it is also a magical place where I got my very first smartphone, so I am now fully entrenched in iPhone culture and I'm all up in Instagram (@valeriesews).
Since getting to LV, we have:
Barely started the task of unpacking.
Reached the halfway point of pregnancy.
Sent Scott off for a month of officer training!
Life is getting back to a (new) normal sort of place after all that, and I'm looking forward to sharing in this space again (and also SEWING!).

Congrats on the preggo status! I'm so glad you're back in the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Valerie!! SO exciting!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations, such wonderful news!
ReplyDelete2013 is really a year of big changes, isn't it? Graduation, big move, getting healthy, beeing pregnant!
Enjoy each moment of it, even the morning sickness ;)
My life is also on a big change. I will finished my long-story PhD studies on Monday (hopefully successful) and in October I will move from Hamburg, Germany to Toronto... A big adventure, I'm looking forward to thing!
Just to bad, that I have to leave my beloved sewing machine back in Germany... But otherwise it means I will visit a nice fabric store, that rents sewing machines, so I will meet other sewing addicted people in the new town. Will be fun!
Good luck and all the best!
Wow!!!! So much good stuff! Congrats on baby and hubby's accomplishment and the big move!
