I'm way overdue for an update, I realize that. So here goes ( Read more... )

 I suppose it's time for my quarterly LJ update. Most folks who read this probably read my "real" blog or keep up with me on facebook so you probably know all this already, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway ( Read more... )

 I start CPE in a week. I'm still processing all of that. I have a new book bag and a lunch box and now all I need is some pens and a box of crayons. Don't judge. I'm nervous, but not to the point of being cranky/angry yet. We'll see how much snapping I do over the next week ( Read more... )

I have had a really good birthday this year. I got to see lots of my family which was nice. I also got a new toy - a bow and arrow! I'm still not very good, but I'm going to figure out how to aim this thing eventually ( Read more... )

Today is my first anniversary. Wow. It's hard to believe it's been a whole year since I got married. There are moments when I'm still not entirely sure I've fully recovered from the wedding! It has been a wonderful year. We've had some challenges, but we've also had some amazing blessings and I couldn't have asked for a better person to share it ( Read more... )

We met some of our neighbors the other day. There are no words for how exciting this was to me. As a kid I always had this dream straight from a sitcom that this is what adulthood looked like. Kids riding bikes through the streets, a white picket fence, and cookouts with the neighbors. Well, short of the white picket fence that is now exactly what ( Read more... )

There really isn't much for me to report at this point ( Read more... )
