So, this is where it all begins.

I’ve tried writing this first post more times than I can count or remember.  Let’s see if I can make it happen.

I think we’re going to start this off by a brief explanation of the things going on in my life right now.

First and foremost, I have the most amazing fiance ever.  He has a blog, too.  We’re getting married December 19th-ish, but not really doing the whole wedding thing.  This seems to upset a few people and if you’re one of them I’m sorry, but not really that sorry.  Our site for all of those shenanigans is over here and you should definitely check it out, if not only to admire the pretty site-making that I definitely did not do.

I think I’ve put enough links in there.  Moving on!

Next, we shall talk about our new house- it’s perfect.  Built in the 1930’s, cute as can be.  It has an arched door and a cute little backyard with a big pecan tree and a gas stove and EVERYTHING.  It just scares the bajesus out of me when I’m by myself.  But we found a remedy to that until fluffy face is back with me for good..

Our puppy!  (We’ll keep her after he comes back, too.)  Her name is Thalia (Tall-e-uh) and she’s, uh, special.  Besides the fact that when frightened she performs backflips, she’ll run through the house then throw her head to the ground and slide across the floor.  When being left alone for an extended period of time, she starts to lick walls and doors.  She also doesn’t have the lying down motion worked out very well; she just sort of falls over.  Yes, folks, our dog is special.

So, that’s about it.  Or at least that’s it for the whirlwind that’s been going on lately.  We shall see when I update this next.  Until then, kids.
