Back from my hiatus and broadcasting from...

Roanoke!

So much has happened since my last post I can hardly decide where to begin.

The house we're renting in Roanoke in case you were curious.  It's small but has a huge fenced in yard for the dog! :)

We've unofficially moved to Roanoke and pretty much love it here.  I say unofficially because we're still in the process of selling our townhouse.  Also, we haven't exactly moved all of our stuff; a good bit of it is still hanging out at either my parent's house or at the townhouse.  But as they say, home is where your dog is, and the dog (and most of our necessary stuffs) reside in Roanoke.

I'm back in school after a just over two year hiatus and loving it too.  I'm currently taking pre-reqs for an accelerated (btw, two 'c's and one 'l', I misspelled it and feel like I should make a point of knowing how to spell a word that's part of the program I'm trying to get into, what would we do without spell check?) BSN program that I'm wait listed for.  I guess I was re-reminded how much I truly do love school.  I was telling Jeremi before I started how excited I was to buy school supplies and set up my desk in the other bedroom.  Yes, I'm lame and perhaps a geek too.  Nonetheless, I've learned soooo much cool stuff and hopefully I'll be learning so much more.

A few things we've been into aside from attempting to organize the house, move our stuff, and adjust to school/Jeremi's new job...

- Went to our second Michael Buble concert in Pittsburgh which was fabulous!  I included a clip because at the point in the concert when he comes to the middle of the floor, we were soo close!  Have no idea how well it'll load and what it'll look like since I'ver never done this before.  Also hit up the Church Brewery while we were there, which is one of the first "fancy" places Jeremi and I went to when we first started dating; so that was some nice nostalgia. :)

Jeremi and me at the Church Brewery in Pittsburgh.  It's a little blurry, but Jeremi's actually smiling. :)

- Finally went on our first canoe adventure of the year, which turned out to be a little crazy.  The last couple of miles of the float it started to rain, then poured the rain.  We paddled like crazy in an effort to get out of the water in case it was gonna storm.  Naturally, the rain subsided when we neared the take out.  I was plum exhausted given I have no upper body strength and had to help Jeremi load the canoe on the car.  (Yes, poor Jeremi, due to my lack of strength, he did more lifting than me.  Luckily, he's quite the trooper.)  And we're planning on going canoeing this weekend so they'll definitely be more adventures to share.

Caesar's gotten so big as you can see!  You can only imagine how much his movement rocks the canoe...

- Celebrated our second wedding anniversary!  It's crazy to think it's been two years already!  Didn't do anything too exciting since we had just come back from Pittsburgh the weekend before.  Stayed in and cooked steak and crab legs, which were super delish, and broke in our china!  I was particularly pumped because we had yet to use it and I really do love it.  (Seems weird to love china, plus it makes me feel entirely too girly.)

Sorry it's been such a long post, but wanted to catch you lovely folks up.  That's all for now, but I promise to make better efforts to post more.

What I'm reading: Four different sample chapters on my Kindle.  Jeremi, being the awesome hubby he is, offered to buy me a book (I usually cheap out and read either the free ones or the ones less than $5).  I got excited at spending as much as $15 on a book (Isn't he quite the splurger?) and haven't been able to decide what to get...
Favorite New Song: Better Man by James Morrison.  Love love love it, so it's on a constant loop in my head most of the time.
Looking forward to: Another canoe trip and my upcoming bday! 
What I thought most while typing this:  It's sad that I typed this during my 10  minute breaks (Yes, I'm back to the 50/10 if you know what I mean) and during my lunch break.
Random aside:  I would like to share my blog with more people, but I still find it scary.  I just don't see how people can post on facebook and say, "Read my newest blog entry."  I'm just not that person...  So, share with others, but don't post on facebook about it, or if you do, know that it would totally freak me out... (Yes, I know, I'm so weird...)
