First Timer

So, I guess I am a little behind on the times, but I don't fully understand "blogging" quite yet which is pretty sad considering my husband is a web developer. Anyway, here goes my first real attempt at blogging. Justin and I have been married for nearly 5 years now, but it feels like less because one of us always seems to have something going on that keeps us apart more than we would like. Fortunately, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Justin is still working full time in Atlanta at CompuCredit where he is an internal web developer. He is also trying to get his real estate investment company up and running on the side. He is such a hard worker and very determined so, there is no doubt that he'll be a successful investor any day now. I got my real estate license about 8 months ago, mostly to facilitate Justin's real estate needs, but after my classes I was revved up to use it for my own career development as well. Then I got pregnant which is great, but it has hindered my progress somewhat. It's cool though, there will be plenty of time for that later and in the mean time I have the best job in the world...being a mom. Jackson's second birthday is next month and he couldn't be a cooler little dude. He is talking a lot now which is fun. Mommy often has to act as an interpreter, but he is doing really well at making intelligible sentences now. He knows his alphabet, numbers 1 - 13, the basic colors, and some shapes. We are so proud. His current passion is completely centered around trains. You can't talk to him for 2 minutes without hearing something about "Thomas & Friends". So, here we grow again. Our small family will soon have a new addition. Our second son is due this June and the excitement and fear are now starting to set in. I know that having more than one child is a do-able thing, but at this point I just don't see how it all works out. Jackson is almost 2 years old now and as cute as can be, but he is a lot of work, so to think of having another little guy just blows my mind at this point. Anyway, one of the many concerns regarding a new baby is name picking. We have a name in mind, but we are open to suggestions, so feel free to make some! Well, I guess that wraps things up for my first blog. Feel free to give me some "blogging" pointers. Like why do I need a title for this blog and a label?

YEA, welcome to the blogging world!!! That was a perfect first blog!

My advice is to post often so you don't get out of the habit. And so people continue to check your blog and don't forget you have one.

Now we need to get Carrie to blog so I can see Boston grow up from a distance.

It'll be nice to keep up with you guys through the blog. Good luck with all of the resposibility of the second kid, but I know you two can handle it. My suggestion for the name is Ben or Benjamin or Xavier Spartacus. Actually, that has a really nice ring to it: Xavier Spartacus Cersey. Yeah... nice.

So, from one blogging rookie to another I must admit that at first I was skeptical but this blogging thing has actually turned out to be quite fun. So, stick with it. Also, thank you for calling on my birthday and sorry I haven't called you back yet but I will and soon. Have a great day.
