Hello...hello...tap-tap...anybody there?

So I have sort of slipped off this side of the planet and let moving into our new house and trying to keep a d+ average in school get in the way of blogging. Such a slippery slope the space between a d+ and d-.

Anyway two more weeks of school and then I promise to update all on our crazy life.

p.s. our dog has anxiety - separation anxiety and is now on doggy Prozac. Can owning a dog get any better?
