Update # 1 & 2

One of the first reasons, I've been MIA is because my brother and his family moved back to California at the end of October. Now, this is kinda a big deal because he's typically been out of CA since he's been in the military. He and his family were in South Carolina the past 2 years, and now they live about 30 minutes away. It's pretty awesome! 

{This is my side of the family. The only person we're missing is my nephew, who lives in Louisiana.}

Soon after they moved here, Joe and I went on a 7 Day cruise to Mexico with another couple. We celebrated our 2 year anniversary there and had an amazing time! We went snorkeling, zip-lining, and rappelling in Cabo; horseback-riding and exploring the beach in Puerto Vallarta; dancing, mini-golfing, and karaoking on the cruise ship.

Is This Real Life?

Am I really blogging again?  Am I really writing this post? Am I really going to try to do it regularly?Yes. Yes. And YES!

Okay, so maybe it sounds like an empty promise given my past failed attempts at doing this regularly, but I do want to give it another chance. In all fairness, life has been pretty crazy since November, and it is just now slowing down. I'll post a few updates and then we'll be all caught up. Sound good?
