So bad about posting...








I am so bad about posting but I wanted to update everyone on what is going on with Tyler and I. As most people know we are expecting a little boy in February and are so excited! It was a total shock at first but now that the shock has worn off we are just getting anxious to meet this little guy. We have been busy busy since I last posted so I will give a quick update on what has been going on with us. Tyler has continued pursuing his Aflac business and I have joined him full time. It really takes 2 people to run a full time insurance agency so that has been our project. It has really helped our marriage because we are working toward the same goals and we get to be together all the time and make our own schedules. We really enjoy it because every week is different and we are able to meet the true needs of people. Tyler has also become a broker with Delta Dental and Lovelace which is a major medical provider in New Mexico. Also, we just got our first official office. No more working out of our home which will hopefully equal being more productive.
We are continuing to make new friends here and have found the most amazing church full of wonderful people. It is a blessing that God provided a church that fits us so perfectly. Since we have been in Albuquerque we have really grown to enjoy the town/landscape everything about it. The hardest part for us has been the real estate around here. For starters it is way expensive...we are so used to the Texas real estate market that it was jaw-dropping everytime we saw the price of a house. We are not very fond of the southwest style but are getting more and more used to it. Our plan was to buy a house in February but due to a little bundle of joy that is headed our way we are pushing it off to the summer.
Since my last post we have been all over the place. We love traveling and thankfully we got to do a lot of it over the summer. We'll have to put traveling on hold until the baby is old enough to go everywhere with us. A little bit about our adventures....

In April we road-tripped it to California and made a detour to Vegas on the way. I went back to Vegas with Cheri in May and that was a lot of fun...immediately after that we went to Puerto Vallarta for an Aflac trip that Tyler qualified for. Sara got to go with us and we had an absolutely amazing time. I then went to float the river for Tara's Bachelorette weekend which was soo much fun. We drove to Lbk for Shae's wedding then to Arlington for the 4th of July. Our next trip was to Ruidoso for a weekend and then to Altanta for another trip that Tyler qualified for. After that we decided to take one last trip to the Bahamas as our "babymoon" before little Preston gets here. Last but not least we spent labor day in Ouray, CO with Tyler's parents and aunt and uncle. In between all of that we have been back and forth to Lubbock and Farmington working. Wow! I seriously got tired just writing all of that!!! Well maybe God is sending this baby to get us to stay put for a little while. One thing is for sure that we have been so blessed and are looking forward to what life holds. Since we aren't going anywhere anytime soon maybe I will blog on a more regular basis. The pictures are from are adventures over the last few months.
