We have moved into our first house in a different state, Robert has a new job, Albert has turned 5, I have turned 30, and I could not find my in order camera to document any of this bloggety blog worthy news! I just found it this weekend in the glove box of my car, Regina. Now, I am ready to get back to blogging!

Our New Home
We are very excited to be first-time homeowners. We have a two-story, colonial style house in a wonderfully fun neighborhood. This weekend, we finally bought a lawnmower and cut the weeds. Our yard will definitely be an ongoing project for us, which is exciting. Robert wants a lawn to take pride in that is good for football playing. I take after my father and really just need to garden. In the dead of winter, it is easy to find me gardening inside with indoor plants. Now, we have almost an acre of land to cultivate to our hearts’ content.

Shortly after we moved in the house, I ordered a
beautiful peacock feather door button. Robert also bought and hung a new basketball net and raised the goal to the appropriate height. The new doorbell and basketball net add a bit of character and shine to the house, don’t you think?

Albert’s Fifth Birthday
My first little kitty turned five years old on April 6th. He is no longer the little ginger fuzz ball I adopted so many moons ago. He is a long cat with an even longer tail. He is a big kitty who can jump from the (indoor) second floor balcony to the landing and from the third step from the top all the way down into the foyer. However, just because he is older and longer does not mean that he is going to put himself in danger. Therefore, each Monday when the garbage truck and the recycling truck pass by the house, you can rest assured that Albert will be hidden underneath the bedspread in the master bedroom, safe from all scary trucks. The same is true when we dare to vacuum in the house. Really, under the bedspread is just safer. We gave him some new foam bouncy balls as his birthday present. They are his absolute favorite toys, and he is good at catching those things! Sometimes, he will even bring them back for a couple more tosses.

Blogging Resolution
Now that I have my camera, I resolve to post more often here to keep everyone updated. My current goal is to post twice a week. Upcoming posts will include my birthday; wedding pictures, poems, and vows; more pictures of our new home; and, as promised in the first post, personality profiles of Benny and The Cats! You stay tuned and I’ll keep posting.
