I'm Still Here...

No, I haven't gone anywhere, I just haven't posted in like forever. I apologize (again) to anyone who regularly checks my blog to see if I have anything new. It's funny how I get upset that the blogs I frequent when they haven't updated....

Life is just weird these days. I don't want to complain because I know that we are very fortunate with all we have, it just doesn't seem normal. Who would have thought 6 months after returning from an adventure of a life time, we would be so home sick.

We have been busy getting our new place ready for us to really live in it. We finally had a few friends over to see the finished floors and paint downstairs. Now I just have to get in gear to finish the upstairs. I know new carpet is a LONG way off, so what is the hurry to paint. Except I hate the ceilings and the blue walls.

Since the old house is vacant (tenants left Jan 2 and never paid Dec's rent...uugghh...), we decided to reclaim some of our things we left behind. Mitch has graciously agreed to bring over the cabinets so now my craft room is starting to take shape. Now we just have to construct Mitch's office so he can feel like he has a space too.

I guess having to pay 2 mortgages takes more than a financial stain on anyone. Here's to hoping we both still have jobs come next month.

I hope to get back to my regular days of blogging soon. We don't have reliable wireless Internet which means if I blog, I don't even get to see Mitch let alone spend time with him. My 2 hour commute is starting to drain on the kids and I.

OK I am going to end this post before I make myself anymore depressed. We truly are thankful for all we have and our family and friends. We are glad to be home, but we sure do miss Himeji!!
