Prepare for a Much Needed "Catch Up"

My heart is so very full this lovely Sunday morning.

My stomach is not however, and a good bowl of cereal is calling my name after I get some stuff written down.

First of all, I feel like I owe you all an explanation for my prolonged absence since the wedding.

FIRSTLY, I was honeymooning for close to a month. There was the wedding and the beautiful Honeymoon to California that followed (I guess I never really documented that did I... gosh I've got some catching up to keep me busy this summer. :)), then there was Christmas just a few short days after that. THEN Taylor's sweet Grandmother lost her blessedly short battle with leukemia and her passing/funeral took up a good week of our lives. Then the semester started back up again not even another week later than that!

But that was nearly four months ago... how do I explain not blogging very much between now and January?

Now, I'm not making excuses for myself, but this little rascal may have had something to do with it. ;) I won't go into serious detail about the craziness that is my being pregnant in this post (that'll come later), but all I can say is that my absence was almost completely made up of, 1. morning sickness, 2. not really having anything to blog about BUT being pregnant, 3. more morning sickness. ;)

Before I knew it I had gone almost three or four months without saying a THING on here and yet SO much had happened! So the semester is coming to a close (thank heavens!) and as of May 9th I will have graduated with a degree in applied sciences and a certificate of therapeutic massage... booyah! After that I will be taking some much needed time for myself to focus on this pregnancy, my marriage, my home, my terrible cooking skills, etc. It'll be amazing. I haven't had time for myself without an upcoming semester taking up my thoughts since... 1998 when I started preschool! ;) And of all the many things that will be tended to this summer, this blog is definitely one of them. :) I have so much to catch up on, such as...
