now you may exhale...

I know you've all (all 2 of you) been holding your breath for a post. I've been a slacker...well, a slacker with limited access to the internet, so I have a little bit of an excuse. So there's been a lot that's happened over the summer.

Big Event #1: Ruby turned 4. We had another Hello Kitty themed party---I guess last year was a big enough hit, it demanded a repeat. My parents along with 3 of my nieces drove up for the big weekend, so along with Xio, Aaron, their kids, the Painters and the Stotts, we had a rockin' good time. Ruby wanted dinner at Red Robin...so we managed it, but I don't think we'll do it again. Ever. Too chaotic. I wanted to just have a regular old birthday at our house, but, oh, that's right, we don't have one yet.

Big Event #2: Adam and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. Definitely a momentous ocassion! I love Adam---he has always been so thoughtful and kind and loving and fun. He makes me feel beautiful and desirable and safe. Thanks for the awesome IPod Touch, Babe! p.s. I love you

Big Event #3: We made an offer on a house! After much deliberation as to whether or not to rent or buy, we took the plunge. It's a scary ride. We should hear back pretty soon, so say some prayers and keep your fingers crossed we get it. I need some civilization, people!!!

I'll post pictures of the summer soon...hopefully...but as you may know, it's better you don't hold your breath...
