Remember Me, Me, Me?

Wow, February was my last post. This is embarrassing.

Well, the truth is that I got sidetracked, and then didn't know where to pick up. This spring into summer has been pretty crazy for us. We sold our condo (YAY!) It was a stressful process as we had a terrible buyer who made our life hell during the process. And we bought a house. All within a 2 month time frame. It was stressful, and it was FUN! And totally worth it, because we are in a house that we truly love and appreciate each day. We loved our condo, but it was time to expand a little, stretch our legs, get a little grass under our toes. And while it was a bit of a transition going from city living to slightly a more suburban neighborhood, we just love it.

We also added a new member to our little family... Introducing... Riley! He has been the sweetest little addition, and we love having a dog.

(Yeah, I know, the t-shirt, I don't usually dress him in doggie clothes, he just has a t-shirt for when he gets cold :)

So upon the urging of my mother, who pesters me just about every time I speak with her about getting back on the blog, here I am.

I have been keeping up with all of my favorite blogs (although my commenting sadly has slowed to a hault due to my google reader...) and I caught a tag and little note from my friend Paved with Good Intentions telling me to get back up and posting! So that is where I will start!

E! Where have you been?! Riley is so adorable!

I spied you at your friend's wedding on Becker's blog. I wanted to say something, but, like Nanette, I thought you'd abandoned the blogosphere!
