I am here, promise!

Ok, I must admit something.  I am a much better blog follower than I am a blog writer.  I shared this piece of information with a few friends this weekend and the response was "well I used to follow you until you quit writing".  So thank you miss Katie for being my inspiration.  I intend to come back to the blog world in full swing.

I guess I have just thought that there were only a few people that read this (love you mom), and that no one really cared if or when I update my posts.  But I have to remember why I started this blog...ultimately it was for myself.  As a place for me to get away; an escape from my daily to-dos; a way for me to stop and smell the roses and remember the good times that happen to me and what inspires me every day.

A lot has happened to me since August.  I am transitioning into a new position at work, moved apartments, have been on a few trips, seen a lot of good movies (so we might have to skip the summer movie wrap up I said to look forward to in my last post and go straight to the Oscars since they are this Sunday).  I have also inherited some new TV addictions, (hello Friday Night Lights even though I was two years late, Up All Night, and Homeland to name a few).  I got a flat screen (Hello 2012!  I will keep it to myself and Casey that it was a hand-me down flat screen), had a few good friends get engaged and married, and a good friend of mine opened her own business.  Sadly, I also just recently endured the loss of my grandfather, which has been really difficult.  I have been thinking a lot about his life and what a great man he was, which has also inspired me to write more.

With all that said, it is late and I couldn't sleep, hence this post.  I wanted to just take a moment to welcome you back if you have missed me (although most of the 15 people that read this see me on a daily basis).  I promise to have a real post later this week when I have a few spare moments to write.

Until then, Ciao for now!
