Happy New Year!

It's no coincidence this post is coinciding with the first day of January. I've been terrible about blogging ever since Billy started his apprenticeship and while I don't really make any official resolutions, I do want to get in the habit of blogging more, even if I feel like I don't have a whole lot to share. Hopefully as the months pass I will get a new vision for this blog, but in the meantime, I'll continue to update it with what's new in our lives.

After Billy finished his climbing class in Riverside, CA, we headed up to Los Molinos and Red Bluff to spend thanksgiving with our families. Billy then drove down to Blythe, CA (in the desert between Phoenix and L.A.) to start his new job, which was supposed to last until April of this year. As it turns out however, he wasn't able to get the distribution hours he was supposed to be getting for his apprenticeship, so they're moving him again. Which will hopefully be a good thing! The worst case scenario would be him working in Nevada which has a lower pay scale, or working far fewer hours than he wants somewhere in California. But best case scenario is he'll still be getting lots of hours and it'll be much closer to home! In the meantime he's had to go to another week long class in Riverside (which is where he is now) and he will hopefully find out where he'll be placed by the end of the class.

I'm staying at with my mom until the baby's born to avoid all the craziness. Everything's going perfectly as far as little boy Jacobs is concerned and we are getting so excited to meet him!
