Playing Catch-up for the Past... Well, it's Been a While

Hellllloooo out there in blogger-land!  It's late, I'm tired (this is very familiar...) so this will be a short first-post-back.

The past year and a half have been... well, busy, to say the least.  My (not-so-new anymore) job has been insane and awesome at the same time.  It's been a rocky year at work, but I think I'm finding my niche, finally.  I still spend many late nights at the office, have so many stacks of work on my desk that they could all support a skyscraper, and can't seem to find enough time in the day to get everything done.  But I work for and with some incredible people... so it's totally worth it.

Just a few highlights... in the past 18 months, I have...

Gotten a new nephew (Westen Paul, now 1 year old - this is during a recent camping trip.  Boy that kid loves dirt.)

And a new sister-in-law, Kali.  She's awesome.


I also went to California for Addie's first trip to Disneyland!  Sadly, I sucked at taking pictures of her with my point-and-shoot camera, they were mostly with my phone.  Lame.  But I was there the other day when she rode a pony!

 
You can tell that's a real pony by the look on her face.  She LOVED it.

The last year and a half has been filled with so many ups and downs, it was like an emotional ride up and down Mount Everest on a tube.  Scary.  But I lived. 

PHEW.
