Blogging Break

I haven't gotten to do much blogging lately. With the move last weekend, and a heavy load at work, it has just been too crazy to write. I am hoping to get some more work done at the new house this weekend so we can feel more "settled in." It's difficult to navigate boxes all day every day, search for bowls, that tube of toothpaste you just KNOW you have, etc. I figure with any luck we might be able to start parking in the garage, say, around April. (big sigh).

If anyone has the desire to come help unpack boxes, gimme a call!

Home Sweet Home

I managed to snap a couple of pics of the new house today at lunchtime. This was the first day in the last week it hasn't been awfully rainy and nasty. These aren't the best pictures, but I do what I can, people. All for you. :)

If any of you are sitting here thinking, "gee, I wonder if all the bedrooms are upstairs..." well...you are RIGHT. I'm hoping that going up and down these stairs forty-seven times a day will help me get in shape! We'll see how that goes.

Some News

Scott and I are the proud owners of a new house in Brandon, MS! Woohoo! (Cheers, applause, confetti...I think). We have been busy this past weekend packing and moving some things to the garage of the new home. We are both exhausted and SORE from using muscles we haven't used in a while. ;) We are hoping to fully move into the house late this week or over the weekend. Levi has given the new house his seal of approval, primarily b/c the home has two sets of stairs and a fountain in the front yard that he is particular enamored with. I can see lots of trouble in our future, but it will be an adventure!

Pictures and updates to come. Stay tuned!

Welcome 2009

Let's face it. 2008 was not the best year for the Hills.

I mean, some of it was good...


And some of it was bad...




But some of it was really, really ugly.

So, on January 1, 2009, here's to hoping for more joy and blessings than sadness or grief this year.
