yes, I am still alive.
Work has been going well...I am a bit ashamed to say it but I enjoy this job more than Covance. I truly do miss my 'kids,' but it was the exact same thing every single day. Here, my schedule changes from day to day, and it's kinda nice. We have been a bit slow for the past few weeks, but it's a nice break from the daily overtime I was getting before the holidays.
My biggest at-home project is now wedding planning! Although the big day won't be until May 2012, Andy and I are getting a head start on things by visiting reception sites and going to a bridal show downtown this past Saturday. My mom, Andy's mom, and Andy's sister are also meeting up in GR soon to do some dress shopping.
Have I mentioned here before how much I love this man? It's seriously like being in love with my best friend. I can share anything, anything with him, I'm not afraid to show my dorky side, because he's as much of a dork as I am. I bought my own compound bow to go hunting next year, and I've turned him on to horse racing. I sit and sew while he plays computer games. I can think of only one argument in almost two years of dating, and much of that was influenced by the inability to show emotion through texting.
Andy also has a few cousins that live in town, who we've been hanging out with a lot lately, which is actually really nice. Corinne is attending Western and lives with her boyfriend, and Stefanie just graduated and will soon be moving out to Montana to be with her fiance. For someone who doesn't have a sister, and no close friends in town, it's really nice to hang out with girls around my age.
Also have been busy with some needlework projects;

slowly trudging along. Those leaves and flowers are killer.
