Life in a nut shell

Where to start.... I am not very good at this blogging thing, because by time I get around to it there is so much to talk about. The past two months have been a hard two months. Where to even start...
First let me tell you about my prince charming. When Jamie and I got married I heard a lot about how hard it is to be married and that hopefully it would work out between to two of us. And let me tell you, married life (at least to Jamie) is the best thing in the world. You have someone to go through life together, no matter what life tries to put in your way. He is not only my husband but my best friend. We have so much fun together. We just hit our 6 month mark. I was lucky enough to wake up to an orchid plant from Selby Gardens, where we got married. (Jamie got lots of points for that one.) Not only is it from Selby but on our honeymoon we went to an orchid garden. (I love orchids)
Jamie started his job in Naples. He really hates the commute and his boss, but he is really good at what he does! He built the most beautiful hand rails! We have been hoping for a job in Sarasota but with the job situation its hard right now, and we are thankful for what we have.

We have had some dog troubles. A couple of weeks ago we had to put down our family dog, scruffy. I took this a lot harder than I thought I would. But to make matters worst, that same day Selby our puppy started to poop blood and throw up. We took her in and $350 the doc gave her some shots and she feels better. But now she went into heat. What a bloody mess and the Leigh house.

This Christmas will be our first Christmas together and I am so excited! It will be a lot different then the past 22 years. My family will be in Colorado and it will be just Jamie and I. Its kinda a bitter sweat moment. I am excited to start our own family traditions but said not to be with the Lockhart's.

I started a new job with Tommy Bahama's and rumor has it that you have the potential to make 50,000 a year, which would be double what I made at the egg. So far I like it. Everyone has worked there for many years so I kinda feel like the odd ball but that will only take time. I am really beginning to like it. I kinda feel like a stay at home wife because I am able to take care of the house during the day and then work and night. The actual work itself is half of the work at the Egg as well, so I am not nearly as tired when I get home.

We got pre-approved for a house. We didn't get a lot of $$ but it is a huge blessing that we even got approved! I would like to start looking for a house now but Jamie says we have to wait till the beginning of March. We took a long weekend up to Chattanooga to look around and found out that we didn't like it as much as Sarasota. Its a lot prettier to drive through then to live in.
We will come off Birth Control once we move into the new house and leave it up to God when a baby will come.
