Hello everyone!
This was kind of a spur of the moment decision, but I'm tired of dealing with Blogger. I want more design options and I honestly miss the days of Wordpress. I had Wordpress for a while and then I kind of let that blog die. I shouldn't have, but at the time it wasn't affordable. Now it is, what with my full-time job of awesomeness! Ok, so the new home will be setup SOON, but not yet. The domain needs to get itself ready for visitors and I need to tweak some things. I am going to attempt to import my previous posts, but I don't even know if that will be possible. I'll keep you posted. Promise!
The new home will be exciting and official, hopefully for a long time. I look forward to seeing you all over there. Until then, enjoy this little VEDA video I made for Day 9...HOPES AND DREAMS PEOPLE!

Year One.
It has been a while since my last post, but I thought I would poke my head in and check on things. Not much has been happening recently. Since I began working full-time, I've had a severe case of computer-itis. Computer-itis, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, is basically aversion to using your computer at the end of the work day. I've been spending a lot of time on our computer at work, therefore the absolute last thing I feel like doing when I get home is dragging out my laptop, despite its portability. I mean I could use it while lounging on the couch, but I just have very little motivation. When I get home, I usually reach for a nice glass of wine, cozy up to my husband, and then we get to talking about our days at work. Oh, we also tend to scrounge up whatever we can for dinner, especially since I have not been in the cooking mood as of late.
However, tonight I had some bills to pay. Sad, but true. So, I thought I would see if I could suppress my computer-itis and update you all on life. Well, the most recent happenings. About a month ago, Husband and I celebrated our one-year anniversary of marriage. I still can't believe that we've been married for a WHOLE year. It just boggles my mind. I've heard from many friends and family members that this is a good thing. It feels like a good thing. We've had some minor ups and downs over the course of our first year of marriage, but we have come through stronger and wiser. I love him just as much as the day we got married and am looking forward to our many years ahead.
We celebrated our anniversary by taking a trip to Asheville, a place we have been many times and fell in love with long ago. It was also our honeymoon spot. We stayed for a little less than a week and as usual, our stay was wonderful. We had lots of good food, did some shopping, and enjoyed some of the local micro-breweries. That last one was mostly for the Husband though. He loves his beer. I love my cheese. Enough said.
In our second year, we plan to tackle some more house remodeling projects. This will be a test of our strength as a couple, I'm sure. We are going to remodel our two main floor bathrooms, merging them in order to create one really nice bathroom. There is just no purpose in having two tiny bathrooms - and I do mean TINY. Beyond that we might update our kitchen some and add some more storage in for clothing and other random objects that seem to float around our house. Oh and paint. Good lord, we are finally going to paint. Hallelujah.
Shield your eyes and ears, because here comes the mush.
I wish I could express just how wonderful my husband is, but words just cannot describe how I feel. All I can say is that I am truly grateful for all that we have shared together and delight in the fact that we will share so much more. He chose me to be his wife and I chose him as my husband. There is no question that saying yes to him was the right decision. There could not be a better choice. It is the single greatest choice we have made so far. Being his wife is a blessing and something that I will always strive to appreciate. I never want to take him for granted. I hope to be worthy of him and his love for the rest of my days, whether they be long or short. I will always love him.

Starting Fresh.
I haven't written anything in ages. It feels a bit weird, foreign even. I took a break from internet life and focused on things at home. It felt good. I know I didn't really say anything about it, but I really didn't feel the need. I knew I would return, eventually. I just didn't know when, so why bother with a specific date or time, when it was unknown? It just didn't make sense.
A lot has changed since then. My last post was in October, yes I had to look it up...no judgements, please. The post was about my job and the wonderful lady who trained me. She was my mentor, for all intents and purposes. I miss her.
I am still loving my job. My initial role and responsibilities have changed, or rather morphed into something better. I've taken on many new challenges and am slowly, finding out that I am capable of a lot more than I ever believed I was. I cannot tell you how satisfying it is to know you can do just about anything you set your mind to. It's just amazing. Period.
Work hasn't been the only part of my life to change, my home life has also changed drastically. Husband and I bought a house. Yes, a house! It's our first home and I love it. It is a brick ranch style home with three bedrooms and bathrooms, a modest yard, a full basement, and lots of potential. I'm talking about move-in-ready with the potential for change down the road. It isn't really a fixer-uper by any means. But, oh the potential!
The packing and moving process was awful, though this is kind of standard, from what I hear. We learned that we have way too much crap, not stuff, crap. Most of it needed to be thrown out or donated. But, at the end of the day, we have a home. It's ours. It is our safe haven, where we can relax and make our own rules. That might sound childish, but those of you who have spent most of your life living with roommates will understand, especially when you are a couple. I am beyond grateful to have a place to come home to at the end of the day. A place where I can just be with my Husband and mischievous, little cat. It's totally enough for me.

Hello, Friday.
It's Friday, that happy day that comes but once a week, marking the end of the week and the beginning of the weekend. We all rejoice in the weekend's glory, knowing that Monday will come too soon, forcing us back into our usual routines. I mean, there's only so much time to do everything. Most of us are just trying to make the most of our time.
I'd like to say that I long for Friday afternoons, but I don't. Well, not the same way the rest of the world does. Friday isn't very different for me. Sure I appreciate the weekends, like most people. I especially appreciate them when I can simply relax and just spend time with my husband. But that doesn't happen very often. Instead, we spend our weekends tackling all the chores that we can't seem to find time to do during the week.
This weekend will probably prove to be no different. At the very least though, I get to work alongside my husband, while we tackle all the domestic chores. Who knows, perhaps we will find the time to go out to a movie this weekend, just the two of us. There are so many that we've been meaning to see lately.
