Things have been a little quiet around here lately, and I’m really going to try to be better about posting more regularly again. Last week was crazy busy, but in a good way!

For one, I’ve got one big change in the works, and another potential big change that may or may not happen. First of all, I’m moving! We found a really good deal on a house that’s undergone a complete renovation and is twice the size of our current apartment, so on December 31 it’s goodbye tiny apartment, hello house with a big yard. I love working out in the yard, so I’m really excited to finally have my own little patch of grass to play with! 

As for the potential change, I’d better wait to share too many details for now … but a hint? It could mean big changes on the job front. 

Other than running around signing leases, getting moving boxes, and packing up the closets, there’s a lot of excitement going on that’s typical of this time of year. My birthday was last Monday, and it was hands-down one of the best ever. I had two incredible surprises on my actual birthday, including an unbelievably decorated apartment when I woke up – complete with waiting presents – and a surprise visit from my parents, who drove 6 hours roundtrip to take me to lunch … and I had no idea they were coming until they walked into my office at noon! My birthday also featured a whirlwind visit from my special someone the weekend before, and so many friends and family members took time out of their days to call, stop by, or drop me a line. It was a great day!! 

This week looks to be just as busy! I’ve got two work-related social events this week, an intense appointment related to the potential job news, Christmas shopping to do, two days volunteering for domestic violence training at the law enforcement academy next weekend, and a night out with a few friends & acquaintances to celebrate Stratti & Aaron’s temporary return to the Ozarks. Crazy! 

I’m really going to try to be better about posting more regularly than I have been, but if there’s another big lapse in posts, well, you’ll know why!
