UPDATE!

I just wanted to write a quick update to let you all know that I'm still alive and well (for the most part at least lol).

I've been kind of busy and lazy at the same time and haven't devoted much time to my blog. BUT, good news is, I'm going to try to revamp up my page a bit and maybe get some ads on here and upgrade a little bit. I've been reading about hounds/bloggers etc. that have made careers out of blogs like this and I figured I'd try my hand out it! I'm also going to look into doing some freelance stuff on the side as well since my job is closing and DH and I are NOT going along with them. So we'll see where this journey takes me....
