renewed

so i'm going to attempt to start blogging again. i've got a little more time on my hands these days, so i figure i could put it to good use. although i'm not 100% convinced that blogging is the most productive use of time! but it's fun and maybe, just maybe, someone out there actually cares to read about what's going on in my life. so, if you are that person...this is for you.
tony and i are in the middle of packing up all our belongings and moving to montgomery, AL. i'm amazed at how quickly we've been able to accomplish this. we still have the kitchen and bathroom to put in boxes, but everything else is pretty much good to go. i'm not sure how this happened, but we have way less stuff now than we did when we moved here. i'm grateful for that. not only because there's less to pack, but also because we've been trying to simplify our lives and packing has helped me realize that we are doing better than i thought.
currently, i'm sitting here with tony (who is NOT at work...hooray!) watching the braves game. last night was his last night at the hotel where he's been working. it will be very nice to see him the 4 or 5 times i wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom!
speaking of full bladders (which i seem to have all the time these days because of this baby girl!), we decided on a name...raena simone. it's exciting to finally know what we're going to call her so she can have somewhat of an identity. i can't wait to get to see her.
so my first post back was full of randomness. hopefully they'll get better...er something like that...
