It has been a long time since we have posted on our blog, because things have been busy in the Bell household! Here is an update on what we have been up to the last few months:
At the beginning of November, we found out that we are going to be parents for the first time!! We are so excited and cannot wait to welcome our new baby in July 2009. We had a great time over the holidays sharing our news with family and friends. Here is a link to our 12 wk ultrasound we had in January:

Right after the holidays, Adam accepted a job with the Denton County Clerk's Office. He is the Assistant Department Supervisor of Administration. He has been in his job for 2 weeks and still getting oriented to his new responsibilities, but really likes it so far. I am jealous of his nice private office with a window and the nice new office furniture they let him order (no wonder our property taxes are so high...). Adam has been working hard studying for the Texas Bar Exam, which he will take in February right after he turns the BIG 3-0!
Our final exciting news is that we just bought a house! We close at the end of February, and are so excited to finally feel settled in a place of our own after living in an apartment for the last few months. It will be nice to un-pack all of those boxes that are sitting in our spare bedroom (I can't even remember what is in them anymore) and get settled into our house before our baby arrives. We bought a house in Little Elm, TX although its technically not even within the city limits. (Think: township, fields, cows...yes, we are going to be living somewhat "out in the country"!) However, it's only a 20 minute drive for each of us to our respective workplaces so civilization is within reach :-) However, the area where we bought is being developed incredibly in the next few years as the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex expands more and more. Soon those fields will be replaced with more housing, shopping centers, restaurants, and hopefully a Starbucks (or seven)! We bought a new house that a builder just completed, in a master-planned community. Here is a picture of our house. We'll post more pictures after we move in!
