Back in the Swing of Things

So, I took a little hiatus from updating the blog, but I am back and I have tons of stuff to share!

Work Update:

Work has been crazy. I blame my job for being the main reason I haven’t sent out a post in such a long time. In February, my immediate boss left to take a job outside of the company. So since then, I have been doing two jobs while they try to back-fill her position.

It’s been a long, crazy couple of months but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and my new manager is starting at the end of the month (thank goodness!) And while taking on a lot of extra responsibilty has provided great experience, I have to admit I am ready to hand over quite a few of the not-so-fun tasks of managing a publications team.

This is basically what I’ve felt like at work since February:

House Update:

On a more exciting note, we have big news on the “home” front. They say everything happens for a reason, so when the short sale we were under contract with fell through, we were discouraged but knew it wasn’t meant to be. Then after expanding our search a little bit we found a great little home situated right outside of our local golf course and we fell in love.

We moved in just a couple weeks ago, but so far everything has been awesome! The home is about 500 square feet bigger and has a second bathroom (which is probably the most exciting part of all!) Millie loves her new yard – we’re on about a quarter of an acre – and we can’t wait to get started on what is turning into a very long list of house projects.

I’ve been taking tons of pictures for future posts, here’s one of the front to hold you over:

BrandAnna Update:

2012 has already been an exciting year so far and I have a feeling it’s only going to get better. For a look at what’s to come, check out the video below that our good friend, Omar, created for us. I’ve probably watched it about 100 times already!

There will definitely be many more posts following up on this in the very near future …
