Hello! I know...It's been ForEVER!

I have missed the wonderful world of blogging and regular internet use, not to mention staying up to date on what's going on with everyone! A lot has been going on in the past month and a half:

packing, moving, living with mom & dad, closing on our new house!, Thanksgiving, 4th Anniversary, CLEANING and FIXING our new house, driving back to Newnan to watch the movers move our belongings out of the old apartment (like nails on a chalkboard, I tell ya), setting up furniture, finally having our first night in our NEW HOUSE!, cleaning and fixing some more, Christmas shopping, teaching Mia Maids, subing in nursery, teaching Relief Society, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, lots and lots of trips to Lowes and Home Depot, New Years, teaching a room busting with a massive load of 5 year olds in primary all by myself, a couple of sleepovers at my place, and last but not least: replacing my older sister's 20 years of polished aerobics instructor experience with my own meager attempt at teaching her old body sculpting class at Oxygen Fitness Center, where I now work on Tuesday evenings!!! Don't worry, she still teaches Buff Bellydance and Step & Sculpt on Wednesday night. I mean, talk about BiG Shoes to fill! But I am TOTALLY excited about working at Oxygen with her and being midget twins wherever we go!

We are slowly but surely getting settled into our new home. I'll have to take some pictures as we get more of our stuff up and on the walls. And HEY...don't tease me about the raunchy landscaping...Pitiful, I know. It's not my fault the previous owners didn't take care of jack! And then it sat there vacant all summer long since it got foreclosed on. So our yard is the only one that is still green in the dead of winter: green with weeds! Oh, don't you worry...Come springtime when I can do something about it, something will definitely be done about it. But it has been fun having to put some elbow grease into our

home. It makes it feel like it's genuinely ours.

Here's a picture of Spencer and Hershey in the front yard playing...We love our neighborhood, too! And you can bet Hershey loves having a yard to run around in! The weather has been fairly warm here lately and I've been able to just prop the door open so she can go bask in the sunshine out on the deck in the back...pure bliss!

Well, I just wanted to make a quick post to update just a little. We still don't have the internet, so I have to go over to mom and dad's every few days just to check the basics on their slow internet. I'm lucky I was able to get these pictures to upload! But regardless, I will try to get back into the swing of things! Much love to all my friends and favorite people!
