So what's so cool about this blog thing?

So...I was nicely encouraged to start a blog by my wonder and beautiful sister-in-law, Jennifer. I really hesitated to do one because I didn't know if I really wanted to keep up with it and didn't know if I would always have something interesting to write. But after many days of contemplating, I decided why the heck not. So here it goes.

First of all I guess I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I am 22 years old and work for an attorney in Cockeysville, MD. I have a degree from Frostburg State University in Liberal Arts with a concentration in dance. I live with my boyfriend, Nick, who I met back in September 2005 while going to school at Frostburg. Nick was a Finance major and Accounting minor and is now pursuing his MBA in Finance which he will graduate with in May of this year. We have been through a lot these past few years and through it all I can truly say he is the love of my life and my best friend. Ok so that's enough about me...now for the reason I decided to do this blog...

















LANDON THOMAS CONLEY

This is Nick and I's 2 month old son and my reason for getting up each day. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Landon was born on January 14, 2009 at 8:48 p.m. at St. Joseph's Hospital in Towson, MD. Labor wasn't actually that long, I did most of it at home so by the time I got to the hospital I was already 5cm dilated and fully effaced. After a few hours of laying in a hospital bed (feeling good thanks to that nice epidural) and only an hour of pushing...he was here and he was perfect! The shape of his head...his face...and his little fingers and toes were all perfect! I don't think any other time in my life past, present, or in the future would or will ever top that experience.

As far as this blog goes, I will be mostly writing about him and all the cute and new things he does. I hope to write daily, but if not, at least a few times a week. He's always doing something new so I can't really run out of things to write about.
