Alive

Just so you know, we are still alive and very happy to be such.
In fact, life has been so fun, we have neglected to update this blog very often
or at all
So please continue your patience while I work up the courage to cram about a month of events
into a single post.

It will cover such fascinating details as:
- buying a new master bed
- buying a new washer
- buying a new truck
- buying me an unholy amount of new clothing
- having heart palpitations about the amount of money leaving our account
- visiting family in San Antonio
- having family visit us in Copperas Cove
- hosting a "welcome home" bbq in our backyard for Matt and all our soldier-y friends
- Bennett learning the phrase, "Hey! Wait for me!" and "Hey! Wait a minute!" (my favorites)
- Matt and I becoming very church-oriented as we are thrown into primary, cub scouts, the primary program, young mens, and boy scouts.
-going through huge amounts of attic, under-the-bed, and closet junk.
- escaping on a wonderful, much-needed Bennett-less vacation to Austin, where we lived it up
- Me actually being in a picture because we finally have somebody else in the family who can work a camera.
- Matt getting "deer fever" (did you know hunting season is about three months long? THREE MONTHS LONG...ugh...)


So look forward, my friends.
one day...one day...
