Back to Life
Well once again my blogging life has taken a backseat to real life. Not that this is a bad thing necessarily. But I can't believe that an entire season...nearly two.... have passed since my last entry. Spring was just beginning to blossom and now fall is on the horizon. Well, at least in the mornings. I love leaving my house for work and feeling that crisp air on my face. I am a fall lover. No two ways about it. So, to welcome myself back, here are five things:

1. The recent long weekend filled with just enough time spent being social and energetic with family and friends ( 3 gatherings just on on Sunday) as well as cuddling up with my sweet man on the couch with pints (and yes I said pints) of delicious gelato and movies.

2. My application to grad school smiling at me on my desk. I am both nervous and so excited to be back to school again. Oh-and even better-finding out that I can take the MAT instead of the GRE for admission which means NO MATH! The sweetest words in the english language for yours truly.

3. The anticipation of my new niece or nephew that is growing inside of my sister-in-law's belly as we speak. 3 months from today I will be an auntie and Godmother again if all goes as planned. I can't wait to rub my hands all over his or her teeny face.

4. My new kitchen table (well, new to me anyway) that makes my home seem more friendly. I sat at it last night with a friend for the first time and it felt so warm and familiar. here's to many more gatherings with loved ones at that table.

5. My upcoming annual long weekend with the girls in P-Town. I look forward to much laughter and catching up with old friends. And then a Tuesday spent with just myself. Reading, yoga, scrapbooking....I can't wait.

So that's me and my five things. It feels good to be back!
