Ah, the excitement!

I've GOT to quit blinking! Almost Memorial Day now, through the worst of allergy season, and onto "end of year" activities for Scouts, DAR and most importantly, almost our first anniversary!!

Lots of stuff has been going on at our house - Darrin's learning the art of lawn and house maintenance, including the excitement of a flood in the basement after the recent downpours. "Add it to the list" has been a very common term!

I've been working my tail end off (and Darrin's too!) trying to get our house into "home" mode... and I think we're almost there. When you have a new house, the little things like a clean kitchen or a new tablecloth can get your heart racing... this time it was dining room chairs! And a huge cabinet. And a new light for the dining room. All sorts of new projects to poke at...

Prince Caspian was great - the first movie we've seen in the theater since Harry Potter. Hopefully we'll be doing a little more of that once all the tax returns and our refunds are in the bank.

Hopefully this summer won't pass without visiting with friends! We'll be in town most of the summer (except for C.A.R. Mid-Southern in Williamsburg and a trip or two to Newport News). Our next big trip is planned for Labor Day week -- Mom, Dad, Trice, Darrin and I are going to France with the SAR!
