Updates

I keep thinking about all the catch-up posts I owe this little blog but then get sidetracked with bottles, lunches, cleaning, and other miscellaneous baby and toddler things.

I know most of the people reading this blog know by now we are no longer living the 'hockey life'.  Which is part of the reason for all the time away from the blog.  In short, we've been busy with so many changes and adjustments I barely know where to begin. 

We knew heading to the UK a couple years ago, we were nearing the end of the road.  It was part of the decision to go there and pursue Scott's MBA.  Just another way to prepare for life after hockey.  Then I got pregnant with Owen and playing another year just made the most sense for us.  Life with two started to change things a bit.  We talked much more seriously about the reality of life after hockey.  Scott started his job search and luckily enough had an offer before his season was even over.  We started to prepare for the big move home, a daunting task with a lively 2 1/2 year old and newborn.

Fast forward 6 months and we are finally feeling settled at home.  We bought our first house and what a feeling to actually be planting roots somewhere.  Of course, there will always be a part of us that misses the hockey lifestyle but we are so happy to be raising our babies at home with our family and friends.  I think we are through the transition phase of Scott's first job, outside of hockey, finding a new daycare for Reese, staying home with the kids, etc.  There were definitely a few rough patches along the way with all the changes happening for all of us but we made it through.
