time and time again

i can't believe i haven't posted in so long! it reminds me of being younger and hearing adults talk about how the older you get, the faster time goes by. dang it...they were right again! :0) sometimes i wish i could feel the anticipation of things the way i did as a child. and there has been lots to anticipate this year...of course some of the things we're anticipating are also whats keeping us extra busy. we had a big change this year because we decided to trade the cornfields of the mid-west for the mountains of the west. this was a plan we put into motion the end of last year and it took a little while to get things lined up but timing is everything, right? so there was lots of house shopping and planning a move...on top of jobs, freelance, programming classes. so here we are....7 months since my last post! life has calmed down some and we're happy with our new home. so onward we go!
