let's bring you up to speed...

3 years ago I moved to Florida to pursue a new job, a new geographical location, and a relationship. Breaking away from my life in New Jersey-- where I was born and raised for 27 years-- took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. At first I was very homesick and depressed and surrounded by farms-- um, I'm from New Jersey-- what in the world could Central Florida have to keep me interested? One day I sort of work up and embraced the change that ultimately helped me find myself.

Life has been pretty good to me thus far. Dave and I have adopted (or rather, they *found* us) 3 dogs and 4 cats. The furry kids keep us very busy and I love my life with them. They are beautiful souls (sometimes neurotic as hell, but yes, beautiful all the same). We've moved into a home that we love. We're planning on getting married in 2012. AND, here's the kicker, we're on the road to having a child.

What road?

The road that doesn't include birth control.

*gasp*

I know!

It's throwing me for a loop. Hence the blog. I'm hoping it'll help me process all of the feelings involved as well as document this time in our lives... because it's sorta big... and a part of me is ready for it... but another part of me still feels 12...

So you see where I'm at. ;) See you soon.
