Had a lovely time at the two New Years parties I made it to (Katie's and Lo's), and was also happy to have a double header of neighbors for breakfast and friends for board games yesterday. There are lots of things I'm looking forward to doing in 2014! I don't make resolutions, but this year I have a bunch of goals...

( Things I want to do next year: )

Big news today!
So I was feeling a little left out of all of the fun and drama of buying a house -- the vast paperwork of loan applications, the biting on nails feeling of waiting for appraisers, the roulette wheel of what your seller will do next -- so we decided to buy.

I just returned from the midwest (my home, and then Jamey's). I'm really busy and I have a lot to do! Thus, it must be time for a meme.
