Catching up ...

Wow - I can't believe it's been so long since I've written. It's been a crazy couple of weeks, but then it always is crazy. We've had a lot of weekend trips lately, which makes things even crazier because there's more to do during the week.
It's been a good couple of weeks. We celebrated our first anniversary as husband and wife. We had a great time - we went back to Asheville, NC where we got married. It was nice to relive the moment and remember what's important in life.
We've had our battles the last couple of weeks too. My husband is starting to work from the house more. It's nice because he's home a little more during the week. The downside is he's turned our living room into his office and yours truly flipped her lid a few days ago when I couldn't even find a place to sit on the couch for all the paperwork! I ranted for 2 hours (off and on!). So the next day I came home to find a rather large new desk in our 3rd floor guestroom. I'll tell you a secret ... I HATE the desk. It doesn't go with the room and it's way to big. But - you pick your battles. I don't have to sleep in the room and I'm just so darned glad to be getting him out of the living room when he's home.
My husband is on a week long hike this week. That's something I've had a hard time with in the past. It's hard to accept that they deserve their time to themselves, even after spending so much time at work. He called today and I can hear in his voice that this week is what he needed. He's out on the trail, no ones around to call him, no email, no demands. And he's facing a physical challenge. I've found that supporting him when he does these things does us both good. He's happier when he's home, and honestly, I am so busy this week with work, it's nice to have peace when I get home.
Anyway - I feel like I've just rambled on this time, but that's what's on my mind right now. I'll start writing again more regularly. It was nice to hear from a few of you who have posted recently!
