{really, I'm back}

i'm a bit under the weather with a cold - aches and all.

so, i'm on the couch for day #2 and am going to HAVE

to drag myself over to the computer as i have no choice.

in the meantime, i've been dreaming of christmas.  i was 

suppose to have all of next week off session wise, but 

because of the weather of late, i will be shooting every day, sometimes

up to 3 sessions, except for thanksgiving day.  last night,

i got to see the beautiful christmas decor at HG's and it 

totally put me in the spirit.  well, when i feel better it will.

sooooo, i pulled up last years december posts to take 

a quick peek of how i decorated last year.  not a single

picture posted.  how did i do that???  made me sad. 

then, i scrolled through a few posts and it made 

me realize how important this blog is to memory keeping.

so, no pictures to post today, but i'm here.

and, plan to be back.  

"tiptoeing back in?}

wow.

 

june 2013 was my last post. 

 

i've missed it SO much, but everything

else has held a greater priority it seems.

 

but, i had to dig through the archives to find

a particular post a few weeks ago {confession:

how i set up my Halloween décor last year to make

things easier, lol} and got caught up in reading and

looking through old posts.  SOOOOOO.....

 

do i dare say that i am back?  several of my

friends have fallen off the wagon as well.

life is just TOO busy.

 

but, i am going to put forth some great effort here. between

a massive amount of work {i don't even want to detail the mounds

of that right now}, to an unexpected revamp of the evening schedule

for some frequent football practice, to many unexpected health issues of

family members and very untimely deaths/funerals, busy school days,

a house that has imploded,  two cars that are in dire need of servicing,

etc, etc, etc. - i am determined to be back. 

 

just in time for the holidays. 

 

there.

 

i've tiptoed back in and am going to

post a random picture to seal the deal. 

 

 

a final nod to summer as we are about to

be hit by our first artic blast.
