Meet the One Brick Shy Family...

First, I would like to welcome everyone to the *New and Improved* One Brick Shy!! This use to be my husband's blog, but he stopped posting on it about 3 years ago. So, the other day I got a wild hair and told him I wanted it. And voila!!

Now, on to introductions....

There are currently 3 members in our family: Well, there is me. Before becoming a mom, I worked as an Assistant Teacher in a behavior disorder classroom in a daycare. Now, I stay at home and wouldn't change it for the world. Next is my wonderful husband Jarod. We have known each other for almost 20 years, but didn't start dating until almost nine years ago. We have now been married for 15 months. And last, but by no means least, our 12 month old daughter, Zoe. She is the light of our lives!!!

I always knew I wanted to stay home with my children. Luckily, 2 weeks after we found out I was pregnant, my husband was hired for a job that paid enough for me to be able to stay at home with our beautiful baby!! It is not easy. We are on a very strict budget to make it work. But it is worth it for me to be able to be home with her!! I hope you will join me as I explore my new roles and the effect they will have on my slice of the world.

Lastly I will leave you with a couple of picture. The first one is of our little family from the day after Zoe was born. I know I look pretty rough, but after 27 1/2 hours of labor....well you understand!! LOL!! The second one is from Zoe's one year pictures.
