They say time flies when you're having fun! A host of random thoughts.

 I can't believe I haven't written in so long!  Time is funny here.

Here's a quick summary of all that has happened- the good and the bad:

• Chris went to Georgia for work for almost a week.
• We all went to Massachusetts for a week so I could go to class- and I got to see my friend Krista and my sister Keri and her husband Bob.
• We went to Ithaca for a couple of days and I got to spend time with a bunch more people I love.
• We were here for two ocean related tragedies- and witnessed one of them happen.
• The house has been getting closer and closer to completion and we've enjoyed just about weekly visits to watch the progress.
• We met our new doctor and he's about half my age (well, not quite, but almost).
• Tucker found some new friends at a new day care.
• The air conditioner in the living room died at the start of the hottest week so far... and it was out for four days before we were able to get the new one installed.
• We found a good contractor for our eventual condo remodel- see the point about the A/C.
• I've been working diligently to set up all the details of my new private practice.

I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting because, as I said, I haven't written in so long.

And, here are some things I'm learning in this new life phase:

• Learning how to NOT be busy is hard sometimes. And also, you can get better at it with practice.
• I do prefer heat to cold, but I also do like my A/C in the heat.
• There are not a lot of options for red couches.
• Walking on the beach makes people happy and friendly.
• We are tiny, tiny specks in the face of the vastness of the ocean and the way less powerful than the weather.
• I overthink things.
• Wilmington is known as Hollywood of the East or Willywood. 

And some things I'm eagerly anticipating:

• Well, of course, the house.
• Being unpacked- not the process, the end result.
• A whole floor of the house JUST for my sewing room.
• Exploring Wilmington... there is a LOT to explore, apparently!
• Hosting friends and family in our new place(s).
• A fenced yard for the dog.
• Meeting new people, adding new friends to my world.

I don't have a lot of energy for profundity but will try to be better at updates!
