New, new, new

Despite a horribly difficult and unproductive day due to the truck breaking down on I-84 because of radiator problems, life seems to be moving forward quickly and seemingly all at once. I have finally nailed down a couple pretty fantastic assistants for the season, and even in my frazzled state today dealing with broken trucks and sketchy auto mechanics, they powered through the day and did great work without me. So, as every business owner knows how important good employees are, I am feeling very lucky to have Iva and Ben this year.

And, as the cat is out of the bag, I suppose I need to come clean on the internet here and tell those that do not already know that Matt and I are going to have a baby in August (or September). If there is anything that seems new to me these days besides sun breaks and cherry blossoms, it is having a baby growing inside me. And my belly growing with it.

Tonight we decided to cap off our crazy stressful day by buying a new (used) car. It was actually a fine experience and kind of made our day a little better. We are now proud owners of a 1988 Volvo station wagon. That's right - standard family mobile. Ehh - it's pretty cool nonetheless, and it might be the only one Oregon without liberal leaning bumper stickers on it. We plan to keep it that way.

So, it really does feel like Spring here now. Long awaited changes are happening, and we're preparing for a solid summer of sun and fun and continued newness.

Happy Spring ya'll!
