Well it's been a while since I've had time to make a post and now that things are starting to settle a bit I'm hoping to get back into the habit. Thanks to my lovely mother, I have a cute little new-to-me laptop that is absolutely perfect for blogging.
Titus and I are both doing very well; we have both been sick over the past couple of weeks but we are slowly recovering and getting adjusted to our new life and schedule. We are sharing my old room at my dad's house and even though I was very nervous about how everything would fit, I was pleasantly surprised when it all went in there perfect with some room to spare. Titus seems to be happy to be settled again as the past two months we have been all over the map. He snuggles with papa in the mornings while we talk over coffee and he spends his evenings watching YouTube videos and listening to music with Uncle Bug. Garrett, Titus and I try to go on a walk every night as soon as it starts to cool off. The weather is absolutely perfect and Titus is usually very relaxed and sleepy by the time we get back.
The little man is up to right around 15 pounds and has six beautiful little teeth! He is eight months old today and it's crazy to think at this point he has been in my arms for as long as he was in my belly. His new favorite toy is his giraffe that Auntie Jeanie gave me early on in my pregnancy. He cuddles with that thing 24/7; it makes me smile.
A couple weekends ago we took a road trip to Oregon with mom and Mark so Gran and Titus could finally meet. She was so excited to see him and could not stop talking about how perfect he was. They snuggled on the couch all day and he showed her his dinosaur noises! It was so good to see her again and it was very nice visiting with Aunt Sue and Uncle Jerry too. 
The past month I have been adapting to my new position at South office. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it there and most of me was dreading leaving North but I am actually very happy and comfortable. The staff is wonderful and so helpful and my new-ish position is great. I am challenged on a daily basis and can feel myself growing; it's just incredible.
As summer wraps up I reflect on the past and events that have placed me at this point in my life. There are still hard days, there are still tears, and there is still fear for the future but there is also an overwhelming sense of peace and a realistic hope for happiness and something truly great.
