Yes, I'm Still Here

I know, I know, it's been eons since I last blogged, but I thought it was time to let you all know, that yes, while you think I fell off the planet, I am actually still here!  My real life has been pretty normal and uneventful these past few months.  Well, maybe not completely, but I've been laying low until a few weeks ago.  Anyone want to take a guess at why I've been laying low?  Work? Graduate School? Well, yes, those two things have taken up quite a bit of my time and energy, and by the time I'm finished with those responsibilities my energy is sapped. Normally, Winter seems to take me straight to the couch, but this year, it's been more than the cold, dreary days of winter that has me wanting to cuddle up and slip into a deep slumber.  I have come to the realization that my oh so sacred sleep is forever changed.  But, Kevin and I are ecstatic for the reasons why.  Yep, that's right people, because the two of us are just not enough with our playful golden retriever, there's a new kid coming to town!!!!!! While I will spare you details, we are happy to report that we are welcoming a new little bundle of joy in August this year!  So far, so good, I'm 15 weeks along and everything seems to be going smoothly. I'm a pretty private individual, I don't require any spotlight, so it's taken me awhile to let the cat out of the bag so to speak, but it's a blessing to know how many people are happy and excited for us! I am forever grateful to my friends and family who have continued to keep us in their prayers. So, while the topics of conversation might change slightly, this is still My Real Life!
