So we finally decided to jump on the ol' bandwagon and write a family blog. Tim made it painfully clear to me today that we are extremely behind the times, we being iPhone-less, so I feel this will be a great way to keep everyone updated with family happenings, baby, business, that sort of thing. Facebook can only do so much, and not everyone can sit there for hours at a time reviewing old posts.
For those unaware Tim and I have had a crazy but blessed year so far. We got pregnant with our perfect little daughter Olivia Rose last October. I had a stressful and very uncomfortable pregnancy with scares of placenta previa, gestational diabetes, extreme exhaustion and bad muscle pain. I am not one of those women who misses being pregnant! We both feel very fortunate and blessed to have had a big healthy baby girl after such a ride. Olivia is now a happy 3 months old, smiley as can be, and such a joy to have.
We have also embarked on a brand new business venture, Tim's dream for quite awhile. With the help and expertise of the entire Lay family, we have opened a boutique style skateboard shop here in Las Vegas. With my retail background and Tim's passion and knowledge of the sport we felt it would be a wonderful joint venture, especially as Vegas lacks that great down-to-earth local shop. Olivia gets to hang out with us all day at the store, which is more than I can ask for, and so far it has been quite fun and interesting. I am learning way too much about skateboarding, and Tim has taken an extreme course in retail. We are here all day every day so the house work suffers, as does my sanity sometimes. Everyone needs a day off at some point! But we had a killer grand opening full of people and even a P. Rod. appearance. Chanel from Fantasy Factory on MTV also signed autographs. Kids were really happy!
I am trying to get better at taking pictures, so some will be posted soon. Thanks for reading!
