Kevin mentioned the other day that I never blog anymore, and that’s really a shame considering I started off last year so strongly. I am forced to assign at least part of the blame on Twitter, though, since I do most of my update-y type stuff there. Twitter has definitely become a replacement blog. And Facebook. I spend waaaaaaaay too much time on Facebook.

Really, though, I have been incredibly busy in the last few weeks. The holidays are always busy, and this year was certainly no exception. I had a blast having my mom in town for two weeks, and we managed to cram a whole lot of stuff into that time. Heck, I even managed to see both coasts of Florida in a 24 hour period. We also had a great Christmas; lots of down time watching movies and just hanging out.

Speaking of Christmas…..Kevin got me tickets to see the Eagles at the end of the month, and not just any tickets: FOURTH ROW seats!!!!!! I am unbelievably excited about that. And we’re also heading out next weekend for a little time for just the two of us, which we both need. It’s been a while since we’ve had a stretch of time with just us, and we need it.

Other than that, we’re about 5 months out from our Africa trip, which will go by in a flash. It’s almost time to start the Visa application process, and I certainly know how tedious that can be. We also have to start thinking about making doctor’s appointments for the dreaded shots and such. To say we’re looking forward to this trip is the understatement of the year.

That’s about it. Check Twitter, Facebook, and my Lifestream for more frequent updates. And maybe remind me why I need all this social media….
