Introducing...

Holly Marie Finkbeiner, born April 9th @ 8:41pm. She is gorgeous! And 7lbs 8ozs & 20in long.

One of those times I wish I lived closer to family :)

Not that I have time to visit anyway, but at least I might have the option. I will be going to see her the 2nd weekend in May! Yeah for Southwests $29.00 tickets! that's cheaper than filling up my car!

Well...since I haven't been home earlier than 10:30 every night for almost 2 weeks, I'm feeling a little stressed! Hopefully next week will be much more peaceful. A family dinner every week is really nice in theory, but dinner's that last 4 hours aren't exactly helping me finish any homework :) My grandparents were in town this past weekend and we all spent Sunday afternoon with them. It was gorgeous! About 76 degrees! Needless to say we BBQ'd and played lots of yard games. So nice to have the feeling of summer, if only for a day :)

Thankful

Moving may be a pain...but the outcome is so nice! I love my new house! (Thank you Chad & Amanda) I love that it is surrounded by walking trails and beautiful homes. My hour walk today was gorgeous! And the fire place is one of my new favorite things. And someday there will actually be a couch to sit on in front of it :)

Here's to the first one...

I have now entered the world of blogging...no idea what I'm going to do with it. No idea when I'll have the time to write...no idea what I will write even if I have time. Wow, now I really have NO idea why I'm doing this :) Well maybe someday I'll figure it out. In the mean time, I'm hoping that this time of my life will lead to something much more successful in the future. I don't know how life will end up, or why I'm getting my Master's, but I know that someday it will be worth it. And someday I will know what this phase in my life was really about. For the time being, I'm trying to enjoy every second of it...while still learning everything I need to and realizing what I need to work on in my life now, to make the rest of it that much better.

Oh and my aunt is due today...but still don't know yet if my new cousin will be Holly or Mac :)
