so it's been awhile


A long long while. I was pretty much going to scrap this blog, as I have pretty much scrapped the idea of selling my handbags (it takes sooooo long to make one), but my sister told me I was lame, so here i am, writing again.

Basically, i'm going to writing about, well, my life. i think i mentioned my reluctance to write about myself for all the world to see, but since i enjoy enjoy reading other blogs so much, i figure, why not.

To get you all up to speed...lots has happened since the summer. A new job, a new place to live, a trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, an unsellable home and a new plan for the future. Are you exhausted yet? I know.

Actually, i'm really excited and happy about all the changes that have happened since july. The first is my super rad new house with my sister, Linds. We love it, my commute is about 12 minutes (i'm thinking about starting to bike it), i get to live with my puppy again and the house is just so cute! I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

I have a new job. Not the best job in the world, but it's a job and it'll do just fine. I have to say that there is some craziness that goes on, and not in a good, fun way, but i'm trying to coast along til it's time for grad school. I'm making a paycheck for the first time since June of 2008, so this is a good thing.

In July, Ben and i took the most amazing trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. And Fort Collins too, where my very good friends let us stay with them and take their car on our long journey - yes, they gave us their car for five or six days. They are really really good friends. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy....
