North Carolina and more!

Well it has been a while since I posted any updates to this blog. So many things have happened since that it doesn't seem there is time to speak of each.

We moved to Cary, NC, which is a suburb of Raleigh. People are nice, and weather is fair, but very humid. So far haven't made many friends, which is a bummer. I guess I usually make friends at work and then branch out from there, but I'm at a small company.

Mike and I both got jobs in the Apartment industry when we first arrived, but he has since moved to the IT world. This is a good thing, because he has also started studying for his college degree in IT!! Experience AND a degree! If you don't marry a sugar daddy, make one! Oh wait..

Since we arrived we moved to a new apartment complex. We'd hoped to give Raleigh a year trial to see how we liked it and then maybe buy a house, but so far that's not possible. Instead we moved to another complex, same area, but less expensive so we can save up more. Still unsure if we will settle down here long term, but we're on another year lease, so I've agreed to give it that long. After that... who knows? Anything (not Utah) is possible!

We have a new addition on the way. Doctor says she's due around November 22nd - which is all guesstimates on their part, of course. We're going to name her Rachel Isabel Auffhammer. I've already decided that she is NOT going to be an 8lb baby when she is born!! I've also decided against stretch marks. While she is not really cooperating with me on the latter, I have no doubts that she'll be a good little girl and grant me the former!

For now, that will have to do as an update, because it's time to get ready for work, but it won't be that long before I update again.. and if it is, just email us! ... theauffhammers@gmail.com
