AWOL



Excuse my prolonged absence...I have excuses! haha  The whole entire month of July was super duper busy..and I can't believe it's already mid August. YIKES!  
Like I said before, the first week of July I spent  in Indiana with friends.  I unfortunately didn't get to see everyone I would have liked to, but I enjoyed my time there and made some memories with the ones I did have the privilege of spending time with.  I got back home on the 11th and had two full weeks of work in front of me along with PACKING!  YAY...we moved AGAIN!ha!  (In the last year we have moved 4 times.  Started in Indiana, went to Illinois, from there to California, back to Illinois, and now to our current residence, which I plan to keep "top secret" hehe.  It's been a wild ride to say the least.  One busy year, and..one busy month.)  Outside of working I was busy packing and preparing for our move.  We left Illinois on the 23rd of July and arrived  on the 24th.  July 26th was our TWO YEAR wedding anniversary which we celebrated with getting our very own first washer and dryer hehehe (we are grown ups now, no more apartment living), we did some shopping for fun stuff for our new place, and we had a nice dinner a couple towns over.  


Between traveling, working, my friends wedding, packing, unpacking, running errands, cleaning, painting, luncheons, parties, and just regular old life I feel content that I am finally sitting down and getting back to what I love.  
We have been in our new residence for about 3 weeks and have unpacked just about everything.  I painted most of my office, with hubbers helping here and there (thanks!!), we also painted our "non-formal" living room, and I painted one of the restrooms down there.  I have had my fair share of painting for a while I think...we will see how I feel about some of the yellow-ness that was left behind on one of the dining room walls haha.  I am really happy and soo thankful for where we are.  It's a gorgeous place to be, and we are surrounded by lots of great people in our community.  Excited to be able to reflect this time next year to see where things are in our lifes again.  Looking forward to a great school year for both my husband and myself.  Hoping that we get to continue our traveling habits, as we have since we have been together (smiles), and that some of our friends and family will be able to travel here to see us too.  

Here's to getting back to blogging, and getting my life in balance again.

oooooo....and how could i forget..hubby found a kitten for me...originally thought it was a girl, so i name it henry...later found out, he's a boy..i kept his name though! CuTiE

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
