A Buckeye Again
Ok, so as Maria pointed out, I (as well as some of you) am long overdue for a post. A lot has happened since I last posted, but I'll try not to write a novel, because I want you guys to actually read it :) So, here are some points from the last few months:
1. I am a buckeye again, the move went well, we're finally settled.
2. Derek's new job is going well!
3. I have been spending a very stressful month balancing job offers and deciding if I'm going to work 1 full time job or multiple part time jobs, what benefits I will have, etc. So far, I am currently working 2 days a week at WIC. I absolutely love it and it's only a 10 minute drive. I'll talk a lot more about that later, but we'll leave it at that for now. If you're not familiar with WIC, you should be, it's a great program.
4. I am an aunt now. Derek's brother's baby was born, he's adorable and his name is Riley.
5. Teddy loves the country, he loves running around. We even had him chase us about 1/4 mile back to the woods and back on the 4-wheeler, it wore him out and made him much more mellow for the night.
6. We got a kitten for outside. We've had it about 3 weeks. We realized today it is definately pregnant. So we will soon have much more than 1 cat, anyone want a kitten?
7. Broken Yoke came to our church last weekend, Friday night for a concert and Sunday to lead worship. It was incredible. I forgot how much I love Broken Yoke. Reba, I wish you could have been there with me!
8. It is snowing again. What is up with that?!?!?!
9. My sister-in-law is getting married so I get to be on the bridesmaid end of a wedding now. Can you believe I've never been a bridesmaid before now?
10. There are suprisingly a lot of Bluffton grads that live in this area. I see them at Walmart (It's the only place in town, really)
11. I can't wait for summer, I didn't get to go to the lake nearly enough last summer (1 time). I can't wait to ride the jet-ski! Anyone up for a summer get together? I'll supply the s'mores.
12. I haven't posted for a long time, but I'm running out of points, is my life that boring?
13. Derek and I are broke from moving, but we need to buy a new car soon. Our "good" car has a leak in the power steering fluid cord (I don't know the real term, I'm no mechanic) so it constantly runs out and leaves us without the ability to steer (minor inconvenience!?!) However, every mechanic says "I looked, there's no leak!" Then, our "old" car has had the heating and AC fixed about 3 times in the past year, then yesterday when the temp dropped dramatically the heat stopped working again...so Derek and I are forced to decide "Should we use the car without a heater or the car without steering?" Needless to say, we've been driving around cold lately.
14. Easter is in 3 days and I haven't colored 1 Easter egg...maybe Derek and I could do that tomorrow night, we have nothing better to do on a Friday night! I guess that answers my question in #12, my life is that boring.

I am glad you posted again!! Good to hear from you. I have heard of WIC and it is a great program. And I don't think your life is boring, and I am definitely up for a summer get together at the lake!!
Hopefully we can plan something that works for everyone.

I too am a blogger slacker. Break starts tomorrow though, so I'll update soon. I'm glad to hear that you both are settled in and that your jobs are going well!

Dang it. I signed in with the wrong name and now my posts are indistinguishable from Abby S. Oops!

At least now I know I'm not crazy. I looked at Chris' blog today and saw a comment from "abby" and thought "I do not remember putting that..." I thought I had lost my mind.
