NekMinit

What cracks me up the most about having not written on my blog in so very long is that the name doesn't even come up on my computer as I tried to type it in. Not so funny? It is when you're sitting in New Zealand still psyched about the awesome time you had with your family that you can't sleep nor can you remember the blog site address. Yes, the blog that you loved and then hated and then denied it ever existed.

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!
