Heeeellllooooo, you guys!!

I have to apologize for leaving you all high and dry for the past month!!  I just wanted to stop by and assure you that I am still around and that THP will hopefully be up and running again very soon!

Some of you all have contacted me wondering if everything is okay and I assure you that it is!  The past 6 weeks have been filled with lots of bad times but also, more recently, some really exiting times too!

Christmas Baking Extravaganza 2012

When I first disappeared I was out of town dealing with a family emergency.  My father was in the hospital for a while but thankfully he is doing much better right now and we were able to spend a wonderful family Christmas at home in Pikeville.

My return to work also happened to coincide with the busiest time of year for us –  I’ve been trying to dig my way out of a (literal) mountain of papers.  Thankfully things have slowed down a little and are starting to return to  “normal busy” around the office.

Brunch at New Albanian Brewery, Christmas baking + bloody mary drinking (do it!), go Cards!

Now for the exciting part…..

Tony and I just got an accepted offer on a new house!!!  We are over-the-moon excited about the prospect of this house because we’ll have a lot more space including some acres and a creek!  We’re in the process of trying to sell our current home right now so cross your fingers for us!

Hopefully we’ll be moving into the new house just in time to plant the spring garden.  We’re so excited that our dreams of owning some land and a little slice of nature are coming true.  I’m not a city girl by any means and I’ve been living in Louisville long enough!  This house will give us the best of both worlds – a job in the city and a home in the country.  Perhaps the best part is that we’re only adding 7  miles onto our daily commute so we are thankful to still be close to all of our favorite conveniences.

I’ll be back soon but for now I hope everyone has had a great start to 2013!

City or country living?
