a quick update

Hello hello! I am alive and well, just extremely busy. A quick update -- we are moved into our new house and surrounded by piles of stuff everywhere we turn. I still love it and I can see where I want it to go, but it's a little overwhelming right now! Both sets of our parents have been extremely helpful though, both financially and with sheer manpower. I don't know what we would have done without them. Plus, thankfully a few projects are almost done -- my built-in craft desk and shelves, painting and new hardware in the bathroom -- which will make things a lot easier. I will finally be able to start moving all of my craft junk into my room, and we will be able to hang up our towels and get back to a normal bathroom situation. I have been taking progress pictures of my craft room from the very beginning, so that will be a lot of fun to post when I am finished. I wish I could take house pictures to show it off as-is, but I'm too embarrassed by the huge mess! Soon, I promise. Nathan is going in for minor knee surgery on Friday, so that will keep us at home for awhile and hopefully I'll be able to get a lot done over the next couple weeks.

Other than that, I'm just working working working. I had some freelanced websites roll out last week...and some checks roll in. Every little bit helps. Nathan's mom sent us some chicken wings last week that I though I'd cook up for dinner, and I got Nathan to show me how to turn on the grill. It is SO much more convenient to grill now that we have a real back patio! The wings turned out really great, and I think we'll be grilling a lot more this year...especially me. If you know any good, easy (or Weight Watchers-friendly) grill recipes, let me know.
