I am alive.

I know, you were all really worried. After two crazy weeks of training my replacement at work, packing up our moving truck, going to Washington for Christmas, driving across the country, and trying to now unpack, I somehow lost my will to blog. I suspect there will be some backlogging going on in the next few weeks (mostly for my own benefit).

In case you were curious, below is a picture representation of our drive out East. I would like to take this moment to thank the many Hampton Inns and Arby's establishments we frequented along the way. Without them, I can honestly say I would not have made it. Who knew horseradish sauce could bring a 7 1/2 month pregnant woman so much joy?

Through it all, I managed to only get us lost once. Impressive considering we stayed on the exact same freeway all the way until we reached New York.  I got lost in Illinois, in the middle of the day. Driving never was one of my strong suits.
