Newness...

Here I am, returned yet again to the blogging world, after a 4-month break. This time it was due to the non-cooperation of my sweet, old Dell laptop. She "deigned to cease to become" back in January, and so I was without a typing tool for a while. But now! A new computer for work and play! And that means...writing until my little heart's content.

Our computer is not the only thing that is new around here... From my chair here at my desk in our home office, I see new paint...new carpet...new microwave...and somewhere a few feet away is a new toilet. As of last night we have started to live daily life in our not-so-new, built-in-1930, 1004 square foot house. Tiny, but oh-so-cozy. I have enjoyed my morning here more than I can say. The dreary day, mixed with dinner in the crockpot and coffee in my hand, has been delightful so far. After our recent 27 day roadtrip, as well as a week and a half of living with my parents (for which we are very thankful!) we are finally home.

I am excited to share new and exciting discoveries that stem from living in an old house and returning to my native soil. It feels so good to be here...
