It's Been a While!

Hello Blogger world!  Sorry I've been MIA the past few weeks.  Who knew temporarily being a single parent would be so time-consuming?!  I kid, but seriously, I have been unbelievably busy since moving back to Virginia.

As can be expected, SJ is still growing so quickly.  She's almost completely out of her 0-3 month cloths, save for a few pairs of pants and all her socks.  She will be 3 months old next week though, so I guess that isn't too surprising.  She's still in size small diapers, which is fantastic because they're supposed to fit until around 6-8 months.  She is doing very well, becoming much more aware of her surroundings and developing a great little personality.  She recently developed strong dislike of being in the car without someone sitting next to her, which makes trying to take her out by myself less than enjoyable.  Thankfully she is mostly content if I remember to clip her duck toy to the handle on her carseat.  We're having a blast and excitedly waiting for Daddy to get home - which will be sometime next month!!

Outside the apartment, we have been keeping ourselves quite busy looking for a new apartment.  My friend and her husband were stationed in New York with us and transferred down to the Truman when we did also.  We both want to move when our leases are up in February, so we have been all over Hampton Roads visiting every apartment complex we can find.  Well, not every complex we can find, but we've visited over 15 in the past week.  Every one has something wrong with it - poor management, tiny kitchens, poorly maintained buildings, too expensive; nothing seemed to fit right.  Finally yesterday we visited a complex that is currently being constructed (the second new complex we've looked at), and it was everything I am looking for.  It's closer to work for M, close to everywhere I'd need to go, large kitchens with a pantry and an icemaker in the freezer, more than enough space...and most importantly right in my budget!  They offer military discounts and the pet rent is $10/month less than what I pay now...I'm excited.  M has pretty much told me to find one I like and he'll be happy with it, so now I'm just waiting for his input on which floorplan we should reserve.

In other news, my friend B is coming to visit soon and I'm pretty excited to spend time with her!  SJ has had enough of me playing on the computer, so that's all for now.  ♥
