My Return to the Blog World!

So last night I mentioned to my husband how I hadn’t blogged in long time! His response: “Uh I know!”



Point taken. Lol.


So here I am, trying to ease my way back into blogging. The truth is I’ve missed it. It was a way of documenting what has been going on in my life; regardless of how many followers I had or comments I received. I enjoyed it for myself.


Things are rolling right along in all aspects. I finished my temporary period here at work in January and after the first week, I became an official employee! Danny is back in school for the spring semester, he has his senior recital this April!! Smokey has gained a significant amount of weight during his transition into being domesticated! I know Danny will rarely if at all admit, but we both love that pudgy, little punk to pieces. Bella is still being a goofball over at my dad’s. Just the other day I was over there and I noticed how all the other dogs were missing their whiskers! And then Bella came up to me and she has all of hers! Bella has been nibbling all the other dogs’ whiskers off! Ridiculous, right?! Next time I go to my dad’s I will be sure to photograph them so that I can share them on here.


We renewed our lease in our apartment for another year. Hopefully by December we will be moving into a house. The only downside to being more than 20 minutes away from family is – just that. We are farther away so it takes just that much more to visit.


I celebrated my 23rd birthday this past January [17th]. We had a nice dinner with a couple of our friends at our apartment. The day before, Danny and I had gone to my dad’s and celebrated early with him and my sister. They got me a cake and a beautiful charm bracelet.

The cake was delicious!!

I have 3 charms: L-R: A kitchen utensil container thing, a heart that reads "Middle Sister", and a cross.

Danny gave the ok to get iPhone 4’s! I was like a kid in a candy store. I was ecstatic! He got one too since we weren’t able to do anything for his birthday. So now we both have awesome phones! The not so awesome part was closing our Sprint account. Our bill is only about $20 more with AT&T – and I have a phone I love!


Valentine’s Day is coming up just around the corner! I have no idea what we’re going to do. We don’t do presents, it’s usually just out to dinner. And even then. What aggravates me is that no matter where you go it’s packed! Maybe we’ll stay in this year. …. I guess we shall see what happens. Danny got a postcard thing from the florist we used for our wedding. She’s so thoughtful! She reminded him that Valentine’s Day fell on a Monday and she mentioned how it was going to be our first Valentines as husband and wife. And then she said she was going to be calling him, I guess to see if he wanted to put in an order! That would be awesome! I loved her arrangements, and not only is she thoughtful – but she’s very to the point. She asks you what you like and gives it to you. She doesn’t make her own arrangements based on what she thinks looks good. In one word – she’s “awesome”!

Just for fun: here's a recent picture of Smokey and Bella:



***I think I want to change my headline/title. But I haven't quite figured out what I'd like to change it to. For now it's just a thought.
