Someone noticed that I haven't been posting, and actually remarked about it.
So I promised to post.
And here I am, posting.
I have been legitimately busy, and threw out a post in June just to keep the blog alive.
I have a lot to write about, but in the meantime, here's what we have been up to:
In May, I found a whole new family I didn't know I had. Geneaology is awesome.
We also started a HUGE remodelling project that we mistakenly thought would be rather small. We were fools, I tell you, fools.
Eclair got old and graduated. She also went to girls camp. And she also turned twelve.
Screamapillar also graduated...by the skin of her teeth...
More family awesome: Cousin Jody went to the temple!
Cul de sac of Fire! happened, it was very messy.
We had a wet and wild family reunion.
We picked too many pears. I canned 21 quarts last weekend and didn't make a dent in the overall pear situation.
BUT THE BEST
AND MOSTEST WONDERFUL
THING
HAPPENED
IN JULY!
Thing Two proposed to his Beloved,
and even though he is nuts and comes from a crazy family, she said yes.
because I'm pretty sure she is nuts, too.
WEDDING IN NOVEMBER!!!
more details on the rest of that stuff later....
