Because I haven't posted in forever...

I know it's been a while...Things have been crazy. But a good crazy. November was a really tough month for me, but I'm doing much better. It's been a learning time. I'm so thankful for those of you who have helped me through it...especially my VA friends that I got to see over Thanksgiving. You guys rock! Anyway, there's just way too much to post about. I promise I'll post for real soon, but for today I'm going to do Holly's Lists of 8's instead! :) And then it's back to cleaning, laundry, baking, packing, and wrapping Christmas gifts! :) I fly home in 2 days! :)

Yay! I've missed reading updates on your life. When are you going to be up here? And will you be making your way to NoVA again? If not, I'd definitely make a drive south to catch up (finally!). Hope you're having a lovely evening! <3
