I miss blogging

I do. But it's hard to know what to write about, because I have landed myself in trouble on numerous occasions in the past. I'm sure everyone is sick of my vegetarian recipes by now, but I don't really know what else to say.

Well, I guess I can write about how quickly our lives have changed in the past 3 months! As you may have read from one of my previous entries, I'm in grad school now. Finally. I'm getting my MA in counseling from Liberty University. Most of my classes are online, which is great. It's a little annoying that people tend to discredit online programs. It requires a lot of discipline and so far I have learned a lot. Also, I don't think I could actually get a masters any other way. I've been so stinking sick lately with my RA that being able to take my classes in pajamas on my sofa has been a major blessing.

The other big news is WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!! Jon would like to make it very clear that nothing is final until we close, which won't be until November. (however, things are looking very good and I'm almost positive we'll be moving in.) We are building our home about 10 minutes away from where we live now. We've had a blast picking out the flooring and other design aspects of the home and can't wait to move in! It is a 3 bed, 2.5 bath town home... which means NO EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE! Seriously, I have no desire at all to have to re-shingle a roof, maintain a yard, etc. I don't know why anyone bothers to own a single family home at all... I am too lazy to do all that work. I'm also psyched that our house is under warranty for 10 years, so we will have almost nothing to worry about once we move in.

Jon is doing amazing, by the way. He is healthy as a horse. Still on blood thinners, but he's doing well with those. He has been riding his bike to work, which is 3.5 miles away. He is crazy. I'm so happy that he is doing ok and that he is still here with me.

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back with a recipe and or/boring life update soon.
