Sadly neglected

Yes, my blog has been quite sadly neglected of late.

Life has been a whirlwind.

But things are settling down! (Or at least moving to a new/different level of busy-ness.) Perhaps the most important reason is my recent completion of my very last college course. That's right, I'm DONE. I should be receiving my diploma within the next few weeks, and I could not be more thrilled. Life has now switched to a completely different gear, and I love the change of pace.

In my newfound extra time, as I attempt to be productive and efficient, I have been inspired by the idea of a plethora of do-it-yourself projects. Due to brilliant blogs like Young House Love and Life in Grace, I feel like my head has become a veritable DIY factory, just ready to explode with ideas. Any favorite DIY-type blogs that y'all like to follow?

My job is expanding in exciting and exhilarating ways, and I am thrilled to be a part of it all. My newest project: grant-writing. My knowledge is mere bare-bones, but I plan to spend the next several weeks educating myself, and then dive into the overwhelming world of grant requests and funding proposals. I'm excited!

In the short-term future, we now have less than a week before these two arrive!

And just several days after that, we all pack it up for two weeks of vacation bliss.

"LET IT BEGIN, LET IT BEGIN!!!!!"
