Goodbye Summer

I have done what I swore I wouldn't do with this blog...not update it! It's not for lack of effort though, I just haven't been inspired to write about anything in particular. But, for the sake of not letting this go by the wayside, here is an update on life:

The big change in the last few months has been Bree's triumphant return to school. She is going back to get a degree in Graphic Design. The long summer days of hanging out relaxing have come and gone and craziness has returned - though, not as crazy as it once was. Her schedule has been a big adjustment...for both of us; she is pretty jam-packed everyday and doing homework just about every night and all weekend. Needless to say, she is pretty overwhelmed, but also really excited and having fun.

Work has been going really, really well for me lately. It has been an exciting, stressful, tiring, challenging year and a half of growth for me and I am finally feeling like I am fully hitting my stride. I should really devote an entire entry to the first year at the first job...

Changes that Bree and I have made in our lives have been paying serious dividends. As past entries allude to, we have really been trying to prioritize our time and commitments and making some major shifts as a result - it has been making life much more enjoyable for both of us.

The family is coming into town in October, which I am REALLY excited about! We are going to do some man work, hiking, hanging, and maybe, just maybe - FOGO!
