Decided to Give it a go after all...

...wow, almost a whole year without a new post. That's gotta be a record.

Well, here goes nothing:

- I've been happily married for over a year now (aw yeah baby)
- A good friend, Jessica, is finally getting herself hitched this September (yay!)
- Another good friend, Rachael, is having her first child this year (double yay!)
- My best friend, Tammy, celebrates 6 years of wedded bliss this March (woo hoo!)

In other goings on, my house is a shambles at the moment. We are converting an open space in the basement to a storage room so we have exposed studs and ripped up carpet. All the stuff that we HAVE been storing in that space is now all over the house...and I mean ALL OVER the HOUSE. Not only do we have stuff we've 'pack-ratted' (yay, I just coined a verb!) over the years, but we inherited all sorts of holiday decor, power tools, etc from my in-laws. Oh yeah, and the stuff we were storing over at my mom's is all finally back at our place, too, because she just sold her place and the movers are packing her life up so we had no choice but to take ours back. We donated an entire Jeep Liberty full of stuff to the Salvation Army and still managed to walk away keeping 1.5 Jeep Liberty's worth of crap.

I call my husband a 'squirrel' for a reason, but even I will be amazed to see him put it all back in that tiny space we'll be calling our storage room. Oh, and did I mention it will also serve as my craft room? Riiiight. Good luck with that, Nean.

So there you have it: my current status in a nutshell.
