Testing, testing!

This being my first post, I'm checking whether I have this site figured out. I've been hoping to get this started for a pretty long time, but it seemed pretty complicated when I tried setting it up in the past. Now, I don't know why I couldn't figure it out the first time.

I'll summarize where I'm at currently. We live in Stockton, California in an apartment. David works as a tech manager for a trucking company, and he feels pretty comfortable working there, especially since one of the perks is he gets to work beside his dad. There's a possibility he could get a position with Microsoft, but that's pretty debatable right now.

As for me, I was a simple housewife, but now I've graduated to a stay-at-home mom. I spend my days keeping the house in shape, learning new recipes when I can, and taking care of our adorable newborn, Lucy. It's been quite the transition for us since we brought a baby into our lives, but I'm enjoying it all the same. Sometimes I miss not having the freedom I had to get things accomplished but not enough to ever want to go back.

It was challenging in the beginning, learning to handle the lack of sleep and to find the rhythm in feedings, but I now feel I've got a better handle on things. I know I'll lose it again temporarily as she enters new phases and grows bigger. Being a mom is wonderful.
