Aack! It's been almost 2 months since my last blog :( But I have a good excuse, I promise. We finally closed on our new home and have spent the past 7 weeks "moving in". We had a move in day, but that was followed by "buy new furniture day" (which was followed by "wait for new furniture to be delivered week") and "hanging up the pictures day" and "i don't feel like doing anything day", not to mention a few trips home (i'm so happy we can finally do that!!) and a few visitors here. I still don't have pictures hung up in the basement or the bedrooms and I'm still without a rug in the living room (not to mention the totally destroyed walls due to the moving and bad paint...but that will have to wait until the fall), but it finally feels like we're moved in (note to self: don't let anyone look in the closets...they are not "moved in" and will probably stay like that for a very long time).
I was super lucky and was able to get a part time job in the Education Office on base just a few days after we got here and I'm really enjoying it. I'm still actively looking for a full time university job, but I am also enjoying having the time to work on the house and take trips.
We're loving Dover and the surrounding area...there's tons to do: DC & VA are so close (i've already made one trip to see A & V and I'm so excited that I'll be able to see them so much more now), home is only 2.5 hours away and the beaches are only 30 minutes. Speaking of beaches, I should get packing. Mr. L, Lily and I are headed to Ocean City, MD have a little vacation...can't wait.
It's nice to be back in blog-land...though I'm not looking forward to catching up on all my favorite blogs...I'm pretty sure my Google Reader said something like 300 missed entries since I last checked. Eeek!
