Hello Blog,

How are you? It’s been a while. I didn’t mean to neglect you, but I was out of the country for a while and I’m just now getting back in to my routine. I went to St. Thomas - one of the US Virgin Islands. Yes, it was amazing!! I’ve never been to such a tropical place before (at least I don’t remember Hawaii, and I don’t know if I count Florida). I will tell you all about it this weekend - snorkeling, rum, new people. It was just what I needed!

We also got a new car - Nathan traded in the Wrangler for a Cherokee. Pretty cool! It’s going to take some time getting used to driving it as I typically drive compact cars, and I haven’t regularly driven in this city in over two years!! I did drive back from the grocery store last night in the snow - whoa! Freedom is calling my name. Nathan made a good decision.

Oh, and snow - yup it’s snowed two or three times since I’ve been home, but I guess it is still winter. Typically February flys by, so before we know it spring!! Well after March and April…ha ha

My mom might be moving in to her own apartment very soon!! This is wonderful news. So I might take a short trip home to help her with that, and set her up. I’m ready to make curtains!!

Today we are heading out to do our Give a Day Get a Day service for Disney. We are volunteering at the Anti Cruelty Society, and I’m excited. I promise we will not bring home any animals, but hopefully we will get to play with some. I’m also excited to spend some quality time with my husband. I really miss him.

Okay pictures of my trip soon!!
Thanks for hanging in there while I was off galavanting around, Blog. I really appreciate it.
