still here... :)

Can't believe how long it's been since I posted!

This past year has been CRAZY busy! So much has happened! I loved making a book from my blog the last time and would like to do that again so I am going to try and post more often - I'm afraid there will be a lot of "catch up" to do though so bear with me if you're checking in - Just be warned that I might be writing about Christmas in July... ;)

The BEST NEWS of late is that I am back to being a stay at home mom! I am so excited! A little nervous as we really don't have excess money or anything to allow for it - but my being gone 40 hours a week just for a few hundred bucks was NOT worth the loss of time at home. Not only are the kids and I happier (and Eric because I'm actually cooking dinner regularly again) but my house is loving it too! I am finally decluttering the last year of piles...

Eric just switched jobs - but not really - as he is the same thing (Wildlife Biologist) but just has a different management area - his big move is in moving his stuff across the hall to another office. :) He will have different focus species - no longer big game - and a diff. location for field work - but we aren't moving or anything. He accepted the transfer in order to make more money - a small raise which will help my transition to being home.

I am so blessed. My life is so good - Heavenly Father loves me and gives me so much to be grateful for. :)
