    We’re Here!

    Well, we made it! I’m sorry for not posting yesterday–I had an extremely full day and absolutely crashed into bed at the end of it. It began with the Hubster working hard on our new deck while I worked inside the house, then he helped me catch a train and I began my trek north. I met up with a friend in Toronto, and together we took the train to B-town where we were met by Big Dad and Spart. We enjoyed a lovely evening with the fam, then attempted to turn in early in preparation for the big mother drive today. I rolled out of bed at 5:45am and…

    An Update*

    Hi. I’ve been away for a little while. I just… needed a break. So, I took a break. From everything. From the house, from the blog, from work. I just relaxed. And it felt so good.

UNTIL IT HAPPENS IN MY HOUSE. …sort of. So, I’ve had the flu. Sunday was awful, yesterday was mildly better, and today I hoped it was gone–only to be beaten back down again by a new wave of symptoms.

    Ooooh my lovelies. It’s been quite a week. Let’s catch up a little, shall we? As I hit the send button on my last post the Hubster and I flew out the door to head off to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was everything I imagined it would be and more. I can’t quite explain the effect that beautiful harmonies have on me, but this choir just moves me. I was crying before they even finished singing their first song–which was completely embarrassing because we sat right next to the soprano section and one of the women actually glanced over and smiled at me while I was crying. haha…
