Waiting 3 months to write a post is kinda like starting all over. But in a way, I feel like I am starting all over. There have been so many changes in the past few months, my life is completely different now.

Change #1:
After I finished up at ORU in May, I had the opportunity to began working at Foundation Church as their Communications and Marketing Director. That began in July and I've really been enjoying it.

Change #2:
Summer is over, Wes is back at school, and all the activities have begun again. So it's that time of the year when life gets hectic for us.

Change #3:
I've been really slacking in the decorating and interior design projects around the house. I've been too lazy and honestly haven't really cared about it much. All I do is sleep and the hallway is only halfway painted...because...

Change #4:
I'm pregnant! This Friday marks 15 weeks that Baby Atkinson has been baking in my belly. We're so excited! Last week we found out what we're having, so on Saturday we had a little gender reveal party for some of our family and friends. Hillary and Trina helped to plan and decorate, and it looked just precious. We played a few games before we cut the cake and one of them was a game to try to figure out the gender. Trina and Hillary asked me a bunch of questions based on old wives tales and according on my answers, we could try to determine whether it would be a girl or boy. And the funny thing was, all my answers pointed to it being a girl. Of course, those were just wives tales, the real proof was in the pudding...well, the cake. So when the time came, Trina cut the cake and everyone found out that in February 2013 the Atkinson's will be welcoming a little baby GIRL into the world! How weird that every single one of the wives tales was correct. Either way, we're very very happy. And I'm especially excited that I can dress her up with little pink bows and ribbons, dresses, and shoes!
