New Beginnings...


Well, I was not quite finished copying/pasting all of my old entries into this brand new blog...when - lo and behold - my precious (!) husband decided to move all of "that clutter" off of the desktop and into some hidden (read: nonexistant) folder. Anyway...all gone. We were able to recover lots of my work documents - thank God - but warbleme from Spring of 2006 until Spring of 2007 is gone forever. Moment of silence.



Ok...so back to the present.


There is so much that happened between Spring of '06 and now that it overwhelms me to try and put in all down...I will bullet it for now. When I have time (and energy), I will go back and detail some of these significant events.


  • Spring '06 - we moved into our house in the 'burbs and settled in quite nicely among the vinyl siding and postage stamp yards

  • Summer '06 - the housewarming party to end all others...we had a BLAST. Guarantee you Stonebridge has not seen a party like that since (even the cops came...classic)

  • Fall '06 - I found out I was pregnant on 11/11...and proceeded to freak out. Took a shower, went back to bed, cried a bit. Eventually I got used to the idea and Lee I were ecstatic

  • Winter '07 - In February (the 20th, to be exact), we went in for our 20-week ultrasound to find out if Baby Huff was girl or boy...and found out that she had a heart problem. The weeks and months that followed were pretty horrendous...but we kept getting better and better news (this is one of the stories I will have to detail later)

  • Spring '07 - Lee and I moved to Tifton - into my old neighborhood! Such a strange turn of events, but Lee found a great accounting job here, and it was really important to us to be close to family...so here we are.

  • Summer '07 - Moved up to Atlanta in mid-June to await little one's arrival...Annalee Timbs Huff arrived via c-section (planned) on June 29, 2007. 6 lbs, 12 oz - 18.5 inches...Born on a Friday afternoon at 430pm (happy hour baby, I like to say)

  • Summer '07 - Annalee had heart surgery at Children's Hospital of Atlanta on July 5, 2007 to correct a Coarctation of the Aorta (again, I will detail this later). She was in the hospital only until July 9th...we brought her home to Tifton July 12th.

  • Fall '07 - I don't remember it - totally sleep deprived and hormonal.

  • Spring '08 - We found out at Annalee's cardiologist appt in April that her heart looks WONDERFUL...she won't go back to the cardiologist until April 2009 (good for mama's sanity), and she is such an adorable little angel...we cherish every day

  • Summer '08 - I began working parttime (3 days/week) at an advertising agency here in Tifton...I know, can you believe there IS one?? And it's GREAT...I even get to write some which I love.

That brings us pretty much up to speed. I will detail more later. Glad to be back, my friends...
