Late with the times

Yes, I have neglected my 'blog' duties - but so much has been going on that it has been hard to keep up with the world around me!
I usually use this blog as an opportunity to talk about what is going on in Zachary's life - and I will get to that. However, I think I need to take the time to talk about how excited I am with the changes that is happening in our families lives. In the beginning of December, Jason took on a new job with STX, putter division. He is in LOVE with his new opportunity and has not even thought of looking back. He works Monday-Friday and is off weekends. Once in a while a trip takes him away on the weekend, but so far it has been worth it. Now, onto even more exciting news - I got a new job! I start next week, and although I should be working on getting everything finalized here at work - I'm writing on the Internet! I will put in a year at the customer service position at The Oxford Club, and then move into my own niche in the company. I am so excited and thrilled! I will also have off weekends, holidays, and be able to take a vacation whenever I want. When they told me I would have a lunch break, I screamed with excitement - I don't even know what that is at my job now. I eat as I work, while answering the phone, scoring a tournament, or sitting behind the front desk. I am however very sad to leave. I would have been at Chestnut Ridge for 8 years come March. And, I am going to lose all my golfing opportunities, free clubs and balls. Hopefully the future will be kind to Jason and I and allow us to join a country club! If I decided to stay at CRCC, Jason and I were going to try and have another baby - that has now been pushed back a bit so I can start my new job. That is one thing that made this decision so hard.
As for Zachary, I am ready to get him on a schedule. Up at the same time everyday, and falling asleep before 9:30 (even though he goes to bed at 8!) Right now, he sleeps till he either wakes, or when I wake him. There is no consistency in his life, and I hate it.
I am also happy to report that I am amazed everyday as I watch him grow and learn. He can count to 15 (missing a number here and there or repeating them), and knows all his shapes - from a circle to a trapezoid (thanks to Jason!). It amazes me as I think back that this time 3 years ago, I was pregnant. 3 years! Amazing how fast time has flown by. I want to have another baby, but don't want to take away from all of the 'firsts' and great experiences that I am sharing with Zachary. Being an only child, I know that I want Zachary to have a brother or sister though. I know my parents were unable to have more than me - guess I'm just special like that! Something I always missed out on though, and I know that is one first Zachary will be ready to experience.
On that note, I will do a better job keeping everyone updated!
