It's been so long!

It has been 5 months or so since my last update. Since then, I am excited to announce that my super smart husband, is officially a CPA! I logged in to get the final test results while we were in Chicago and I had just dropped Matt off at a conference for the day. I was too anxious and made him call me right away. Tears flowed and we celebrated that night with a trip to Navy Pier and dinner at Bubba Gump's.

In June, we also celebrated me completing my Master's degree. Even though it took an additional 3 months to receive my diploma, it is a great feeling to be done with school!

We are currently 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant and are expecting our little bundle of joy this month! The baby's nursery is all ready thanks to the helping hands of daddy, Grandpa Walker, Great Grandpa Walker, and Grandma Melka. The nursery is a buttery yellow with white wanescoting and is decked out in a bedding line called Snug as a Bug.  We are very anxious to greet this little one with a  loving family.

Being 9 months pregnant, it was not feasible for me to start teaching this fall, so Matt has found me a part-time job, working from our home, answering phone calls for Barking Dog Communications. It is definitely a blessing to be able to earn a paycheck while in my PJs!

Matt has been busy with work and it is expected to only get busier as he goes into government season. He was also promoted in July to being a Senior Accountant. With the promotion comes greater responsibility and more stress. He is working diligently on maintaining a work/life balance.

We celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary this Sunday and I can hardly believe that it has gone by as quickly as it has. It seems like just yesterday, we fell in love while playing the Nintendo Wii. But I fall deeper in love with him with each passing day. Yesterday, I fell deeper in love with him as we went for a walk around the block and talked about our days.

It has been an exciting year already and it is only expected to get better as we welcome Little Baby Walker so soon!
