Apparently I've enjoyed married life so much I forgot I had this blog! Or else I just got really busy with life. A little of both actually. What have I been up to?
I have continued doing a bit of blogging over at Willows and Roads. Although a glance there tells me I've barely posted anything and mostly have saved drafts of things I've meant to post. Oh well.
We are remodeling one of our bathrooms. Fun!! Not really. And Catie and my wonderful dad are doing all the work. But I'm looking forward to the end result.
We went on a vacation to 3 of the 5 states I had left on my list. Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. And we managed to spend only $40 in the state of MS and $15 in in AR. Most all of our funds were spent in New Orleans, which is a fairly liberal city for the South. So I felt good about being able to check things off my to do list without feeling like I was spending my money somewhere I didn't want to.
We also had births, deaths, weddings and new pets in our family in the past year.
I also got promoted shortly before our wedding, so I've been busy as ever at work.
I got a little addicted to Ancestry.com.
I raised some funds for the pancreatic cancer network and did a walk.
And then there was that whole Recall thing. Yeah. Politics have been pretty all consuming for the past year. And every time I think I'm burnt out on them. Surprise! I'm not.
And in the middle of all that, there has been just a lot of living life. Good times and bad with family and friends.
And as for Catie and me, our life is remarkable in that it isn't. We just really enjoy being with each other. We have minor disagreements of course. But it is hard to remember them or what they are about (probably driving, directions or feeding the pets). She is my best friend. And life is pretty sweet when you get to hang out with your best friend every day.
