It's been awhile...

Oops. So, I started this blog with the caveat that I'm not very good at journaling and didn't know if I would keep up with this. Apparently, I'm pretty good for 2 months (more than I can say for journaling). :) Here's the deal... I decided after my last post that my next one would involve pictures showing the progress of our lawn (which is growing and green, by the way). Since I haven't gotten around to taking pictures, I never bothered to log on here and say anything else...the best laid plans and so on and so forth... Lame. Instead of waiting until I got around to taking pictures, I decided to just log on and write about nothing if I needed to, because honestly, the guilt of not getting around to this is weighing on me.

Here's the good news about waiting awhile for a post, a lot has happened since the last post. The bad news? When I get on here to write, I can't think of anything in particular. It's like when you were a kid and one of your friends would ask "What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?" Umm....well...(cricket, cricket)...can't really think of anything... Does that mean that nothing embarrassing has ever happened to me? Uh, no. In fact, now that I'm thinking about it, I do recall an incident in college when exiting a Chem 101 lab (in full dorky freshman lab gear...coat, goggles, the works) I tripped up the stairs of Fulmer Hall (yes, up) and ended up sprawled out on the ground in the courtyard outside the building...good thing it was lunch time so the courtyard was full of students eating lunch. That was fairly cool of me. :)

Anyway, there it is. I did it. I posted something! The other good thing about not posting for a bit is that nothing bad has happened. Seth and I are just plugging along with life, and really I'm very fortunate to be able to say that. I know there are a lot of people that have daily struggles with health, finance, family, work, etc. and I really have it very good. Especially on this day, Veteran's Day, I want to say thank you to all of those who have served our country (including many of my extended family members, friends, and my dad). If it wasn't for all of you, I wouldn't have the opportunity to have this life, in this country, in which I am truly blessed.
