My name is Abby, and I AM a slacker.

There. I've admitted it. They say that's the first step, right?

I actually had 3 posts in "draft" but I got tired of fighting with my photos on Blogger. Then, the marvelous Blogger update came along and all is well.

I will admit, I wasn't sure how different life would be after dating for 8 years. All in all, it's been pretty wonderful. We've certainly had our ups and downs, but I wouldn't change any of it.

We've been hard at work on our house. Bryan has turned into quite the handyman - learning to work a tiller so we can plant azaleas and day lilies. (I wish I had taken pictures - the amount of effort it required to control the tiller was quite a sight.) He also pulled up all of the nasty old linoleum in our basement and put down brand new vinyl tile. It looks really good!! I am so thankful for his willingness to learn to do some things himself rather than pay more money to have someone else do it.

I am just now beginning the "lazy" part of my summer. I've already done a bit of nannying, a local reading conference, and a Stephen Covey training at school. The next few weeks will be over before I know it, and I'm hoping to savor every minute. :-) We have lots of adventures planned - I hope I'll have the "oomph" to keep blogging!

Stay tuned for a future post on our foster fur child - Winnie!
