MIA

I haven't been writing much lately for two reasons:

1. I've been really busy. The days totally get past me and are over before I can catch my breath.

2. My brain is feeling kind of congested lately. I had the flu, then a cold. I lost my voice (which was very disconcerting since I am a singer and I don't think that's ever happened to me before so I was freaking.) I feel like I have just been waiting to feel better. And now I do, but it's very recent.

But as I said, my brain feels congested. And full.

We're starting to look for a house and I'm terrified. I think I've convinced myself that we can't afford it even though I'm sure we can. We've been living on a pretty strict budget and I figure that as long as we don't spend more than what we've been saving every month, we should be ok. We aren't going to go over our budget. I'm not going to let that happen. But it's taken awhile to figure out what that budget is. It's a big step and it's already had some serious bumps along the way for us but I know it will be worth it in the end.

I so look forward to having a place that we can make our own.

A real home.

 We just have to find it and survive the process!

Happy weekend all!

P.S. I've been taking pictures - I'll upload them over the weekend!
