So again I've been away for a while...it comes and goes in phases, but where last time was because I had moved to SC for the first time and was in and out of the hospital for sick time, this time was because we were engrossed in the house-searching process, buying our house, then moving into it! Yes, that's right, we finally bought a house and moved our butts into a place of our own! I love it, too...it's so nice to be able to control your own house temperature, invite people over, watch tv that you want to watch, and breathe without being buried in dust and fur.

Anyway, my free time seems to have returned for brief bouts...and I'll be posting loads of new pictures of the house and yard soon!
