hello!

it's been a few days - have you missed me? i've been quite productive - it's so lovely.

saturday, i shopped for, and then completed, an 8x8 scrapbook album for my mom's mother-in-law, commemorating a cruise they took together last december. fun project - i kept it simple and finished it within abour 4 hours.

sunday, we gathered with matt's family at his mom's after church. got to spend some quality time visiting with his grandparents, and hanging out with the cousins. what a fun bunch. when the cousins get together, we never fail to laugh until our sides hurt.

i got to use my camera on my little neice kassidy at the in-laws' yesterday, and i'm definitely longing for another lens - a faster lens. i love the pictures my current lens takes in low-light, but the second you point it at a moving target - and boy, does that girl move - it's nothing but blur! so, i'll be saving my pennies again. good thing the one i want isn't too expensive.

i found *the* desk i want this weekend. too bad they're sold out. i'll be stalking target.com until i see them restock - or begging my talented, well-equipped hubby to build me a replica. ;)

so, i keep promising pictures, and i swear i'll make good on it this week... oh, and, by the way... thursday is my 1st blogiversary (one year anniversary of the conception of my blog!) so please be sure to stop by... i think we'll do a little somethin' special in honor of the "big day". :)
