Been a while

I know it has been a long time since I've posted. We are still alive and well. I decided that blogging is a winter activity. I just don't like spending a lot of time in front of the computer when the weather is nice.
Nothing has changed with us. I'm still working full-time, Dan is still searching for employment and constantly making improvements on our house. We almost have a bathroom in our bedroom! Dan is amazing!
Maicee is growing like a weed! She started walking a couple of weeks ago. I can't decide if she looks like a robot or a zombie when she walks. Maybe both. She turned 10 months old on Tuesday. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by!
I have finally gotten back into the habit of running! Yay! I love running! Okay, maybe not running, but I love how I feel after a run. And Maicee loves going in her jogging stroller. I normally go at night, that way I can take Maicee with me and I don't feel guilty leaving her, (since I don't see her all day). Sometimes she'll make car noises the whole run; sometimes she stares at me through the plastic window; most of the time she just falls asleep.
I am so excited for Halloween! I would say that it is my favorite holiday, but I say that about whatever holiday is coming up. I've been itching to put up my Halloween decorations, but thought it was a little too early. This morning while driving to work, I noticed the house at the end of our street has their Halloween decorations up. So I might put ours up tonight...

On a more serious note, I love being a mom. I love my beautiful little girl and her amazing personality. I love the joy she has brought to our lives. I love the wonderful dad that Dan has become, and I love the great job he is doing being at home with her. I wish our roles were switched, but I'm thankful to have a good job in such an unstable economy.
Okay, I'm done being serious. If the weather turns colder, maybe I'll post some pictures!
