Wait, I'm still in 2012

I know it is January 16, 2013.  However, my blog is missing some very exciting and unique blogs from the end of 2012. 

Here's a little history...

December 29-30, 2004, Chad and I learned that Dickerson #2 was on the way.  I know some people are already thinking, "Wow she doesn't even remember the exact date she found out.  She must not realize that there are women all over the world who would give anything to 'find out'".  Stop.  Yes, I do realize it.  And yes, it was amazing, and I did write the date down somewhere.  The point here is that we had recently purchased our current home.  Whoa...back up...we had just begun making payments on our current home that we hope to own sometime before we are too old and disabled to utter the words "we own our home".  Back to the story.  At that point in our lives, we had three bedrooms and one child.  We very affectionately referred to the other bedroom as "the office".  It was awesome.  It had a great closet, filing cabinet, desk, desktop computer, etc.  It essentially was our home office where we did really exciting things like check email and balance our very stretched "first time home buyers and first time to pay daycare" budget each month.  So after recovering from shock, in the early months of 2005 Chad and I began to make preparations for Dickerson #2.  We quickly realized that the room we considered to be the home office was going to become a nursery.  In all the planning and downsizing and making room for baby, we gave up the desktop and purchased a laptop computer.  Pretty exciting, huh?  Well, it was so much fun and excitement that we haven't done it again for 8 years! Yes, my home computer is 8 years old and slower than molasses on a cold morning.  So, I hate to update the blog because the computer is soooo slow and it's difficult to upload pictures, etc. 

Now, there is a point here.  I have ordered a new computer.  It has card readers so that it will be much easier to insert pictures of my fabulously cute, funny kids.  Well, I'll post pictures of the real Dickerson kids who have been known to be fabulously mischievous, funny kids. 

The new computer should be present and working at my house by the end of this month.  Hold on tight because the blog will have much more activity in 2013.
