a long-overdue post!

I guess I haven't really been keeping up with this blog as often as I had hoped I would. Sorry about that! Things have been going really well, though--I've stayed busy with work and finished up some large projects recently, I've spent a lot of time with all "The Littles" (I still spend every Saturday night at Greg and Kalli's for "Family Movie Night"), and of course I've spent lots of time with Berkley, too. :)

My dad and grandma came out for a visit last month and we all had a great time. Dad had not yet seen my new place and I was so happy that my grandma was able to make the trip--especially to see little Ellery (who is still a complete DOLL, by the way, and has thankfully clung on to that red hair). I gave the two of them my apartment to stay in and I had a sleepover weekend with the kids. Fun and comfort for everyone! Well...I'm not sure about "comfort" for me--I had to sleep on a bunk bed--but fun? Yes! ;)

So...what makes me finally write, you ask? Well, because tomorrow is a big day--I'm leaving for vacation! I'm flying to the East Coast for the first time--Boston, to be exact. Addie is already out there and we're both going to stay with Shane and Dana for about a week. I'm SUPER excited to be there, but I could certainly do without the whole flying part if it all. Oh well. I've flown alone before, it's just always a bit scary. I'll just focus, focus, focus on the destination. And being in Boston will be sooooo amazing! I can't wait to take it all in--the scenery, the history, the beer... ;) I plan on taking lots of pictures and experiencing lots of new things, so until then,
hugs and kisses to you all...
