I do my best thinking in the car

Unfortunately it's rarely about what I'm doing at that moment, like driving. Craig has my GPS which means I shouldn't leave my house. But I did. I like to think I have a good sense of where I am and which way I should go. Sometimes that works out for me, but rarely. Today it did not. As I was driving down a dirt road through a pasture, I could tell the horses were confused by my presence. However, I just knew my house was in that direction. There wasn't a dead end sign. Shouldn't there be a dead end sign if it was a dead end? I continued on my way, the bumpy road was giving Riley a good nap. Turns out it was in the direction of my house and I actually found pavement within a short 10 minutes. Today I learned I can get around in this new place. Efficiently? No. Safely? Probably not. But I will make it eventually.

Hello Life.

Don't worry I still have plenty to catch up on, but I'm jumping ahead to RIGHT NOW. Monday Craig finally received the much anticipated letter that he was licensed and could officially begin practicing as a dentist. No time was wasted and he starts work tomorrow!
I feel that we are definitely putting two feet into the world of "grown-ups" tomorrow. Craig is basically beginning his first job after 9 years of college. (Yes, it's about time.) And me, well I've enjoyed having Craig around every day for the past couple of months and I feel as though I'm really beginning my life as a stay at home mom. Just me and the kid. All day. 5+ days a week. :)
So wish us luck- I'm not sure who needs it more!

Riley just over 5 months.
Here's a recent picture of our little family. Riley is blurry because he can't be still enough for a camera to capture him very well. I must tell you more about him soon.
