- So first, the pink elephant in the room, I HAD A BABY. Many of you will be shocked by this. Believe me when I say I understand. But WOW is it the most fun EVER, if also the most exhausting. Little girl Riley was born May 21st and has been rocking our world ever since. She's smart, independent, oh-so-social, and beautiful... see for yourself:
- We moved out of our apartment and into "this old house". It's cute, country, and about 70 years old. Literally. Like anything else that's 70 years old, it has character. And, there's plenty of room for us to host the frequent guests that we seem to attract, and we love it.
- We got a DOG. Finally! His name is Webster, and he eats EVERYTHING. Including fish hooks. Or, at least one fish hook. It truly was a case of "hook, line, and sinker". But an emergency vet visit and some intestinal coaxing and Web "passed" his barbed-snack. Phew.
Dont let that pic fool you, he was about 10 pounds in that picture, taken this past April. He's about 65 pounds now.- I'm still working at UNC at the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. I have a new office and a new title since last I wrote about it, but the gig is about the same, and I'm really enjoying the team I get to work with and the people I get to rub elbows with.
- I graduated from Gonzaga. Yay! Next step: Pay it off! I suspect that will take somewhat longer.
- The adventures of Love Chapel Hill continue. There arent even words. I am blown away everyday when I think about how this whole crazy thing has evolved. Reminds me that to whom much is given, much is required. That's a whole different blog post there... but maybe for next year :) For now, you can take a look at where we've been HERE.
...And, I just spent the last 45 minutes reading all of my posted tweets from the last year to see if there's anything major I'm forgetting to report (because my list is feeling small). Alas, that about covers it. I've said it before, but I'll say it again... I WILL TRY to do this more often. Honestly.
