SO. It's been a while...

So. It's been a while.  My bad.

It's not as if exciting things have been happening.

It's not as if I haven't had funny, sad or wonderful stories to tell.

I was busy. Forgive me?  Ok, cool :)

Here is a little sneak peek to my life the last few months I'd like to call, 

"THE TOP 10 THINGS I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU"

10.  I have been busy with school this year.  Like, busier than I should.  Mostly because I haven't used my time as wisely as I should this year...more on that later...

9.  Weird things happen to me and my husband.  For example, I got "surprised" by a former classmate on my birthday, which you may know was back in September.  Story to come later in another post.

8.  We refinished our laundry room, which I have to admit I'm surprised I'm counting that as exciting.  But, I guess your list of what is exciting changes when you get older.

7.  My big brother got married to his love in October.  The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful, as was the bride, and I am thrilled to have a new sister-in-law.  Jenn could not be sweeter and really fits in well with our family.  We all love her!

6.  Zora got squirted in the eye with dish soap.  And, as it turns out, that's more traumatic than we thought.  It was the weirdest accident ever.  Will update later. 

5.  Unless something happens with #1, I am going to COSTA RICA with the Senior class in March!  I could not be more excited.  Great group of students; awesome sponsors.  It's going to be a blast!

4.  I almost stole a library book...story to come.

3.  I directed a variety show and a Christmas performance with my drama class.  Both were a wonderful success!

2.  Speaking of which, I am directing a play again this spring...and am happy to announce that it will be "Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Jr."  I praise God for all of the excitement surrounding this title among the students!  I can't wait to get started in January. :)

1.  My favorite reason why I haven't blogged...Z and I are going to be parents! [someday...] We are adopting!  As I was asked yesterday by my Creative Composition class what my favorite part of 2011 has been, the decision to adopt was without a doubt my answer.  So, instead of doing anything else [like blogging], I feel like I just want to research baby things, read baby books, and work on setting up the nursery for our impending babe.  Explains the time issue this semester that thankfully I've gotten under control. :)

Thanks for bearing with me in my absence. :)

God bless you as you prepare for Christmas!
