Why? Because the writing got so embarrassing!
How many grammatical mistakes can I make in one post?
And seriously, how appetizing is my vomit on a plate?
Oooh, but what about this one! I actually referred to that photo of Penelope Cruz as Selma Hayek! And then I corrected it. After a month. I'M THE WINNER.
Anyway, it's been a fun adventure, this blogging thing, and I think I'm up for it again. Too much has happened since I've been gone. And just a couple of things stand out in my mind:
1. I finally found my favorite job. Seriously, for me, it's the best job in the world. The population I work with keeps me young even as they remind me that my brain is old and soggy. I come home smiling almost everyday.
2. We've had 4 failed inseminations. If I receive any pity comments about that, I'm so blocking you! The heinous tacky questions and unasked for advice have simmered down a bit so I thought I'd share this little part of our world. It was hard, but it's over and no, I'm not open to any suggestions from anyone. I believe the Lord is with us and that's all the matters. :)
3. Tevita has been around the world. Seriously, he has. I admire him. He's smart, funny, kind, and my best friend. I'm in love and our marriage feels tighter than it ever. For that, I'm grateful.
4. I rescued kittens. Two. Totally different breeds and personalities but so so hilarious. Tevita loves them too. These little animals have been a huge stress reliever for me. Furry bundles of terror can do that to a person.
5. I'm in Aotearoa right now. It's been so excellent to be home and to be reminded of how amazing my cousins are. Tevita and I are loving every minute with them and with each other.
And speaking of all things excellent in Aotearoa, I think I'll go have me an ice cream bar. So incredibly delicious.
Happy New Year!
