I thought I knew where to begin after my extended absence from my blog. I started this blog in hopes of getting some thoughts out and having a place to let off steam from time to time and here I go neglecting it for so long. I hope soon to be able to feel the inspiration to blog…at least every other day. We shall see. I’d also like to figure out how to bring in some more traffic. My wonderful friends read it and for that I am thankful
Where to begin is really the question at hand here. Most everyone that I know reads this knows what life has been like for the last few months, for any new readers I will get a condensed version. (As condensed as I ever get that is).
Over the last few months, life has seriously changed. I posted minor details in a post below somewhere but basically, The Nerd got out of the military and accepted a job in our hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina. We drove 2200 miles from Arizona to North Carolina and began our journey in settling down again. The trip was actually fairly fun and we stopped at a few places along the way like The Oklahoma City Memorial and were even welcomed into some friend’s home that we were “meeting” for the first time outside of the internet. It was definitely a road trip to remember.
After a month or so of being here we found a new home. For now, we are renting with plans to buy in the next year or so when we find just the “right” fit.
I am slowly unpacking, decorating and buying to fill up the new place…keyword being slowly. We have a formal dining room now even…that was difficult. I’m not even sure what to do with a “formal” dining room, so it has become a new place to have to decorate and the table ends up still as the catch-all. Go shopping? The bags land on the table or floor and there they stay until the time is taken to actually do something with it.
Speaking of shopping…I never knew that “settling” cost so much money. I guess we’ve always just gotten by with what we had because we always had different houses and never knew what would fit. Moving everything constantly and finding the heartbreaking evidence of something cherished shattered into a million pieces doesn’t give you the want to go buy something nice and later have it ruined.
Anyway, I’m rambling as I tend to do all too often. That is the gist of what has happened the last few months. I’ll get some pictures up by the end of the week of how the new house looks once it is all clean and ready to go. We are having a sort of house warming party this weekend so by Sat night I hope to have it in tip top shape finally.
In other news, The Nerd and I got new computers so I am hoping to be able to do more with this one. I need to get my other one hooked up and ready so I can transfer some pictures over and get my music collection. Before we left Arizona, we had downloaded approximately 4,000 songs and I got more into a music mood so I need to continue that. Any good new music out there? We got XM/Sirius when we got here and I keep up on the top hits right now mostly and occasionally I will find a good one that is obscure.
Like, did you know Seether had recently rerecorded George Michael’s Careless Whisper?
Well, that’s my update post. I hope to be able to get back into this and blog about the daily happenings in NC and in the life of a Klutzy Shutterbug. I hope to also be able to dust off my camera and start a photo a day for 365 days too. I have lofty goals.
