so I am alive.....

Yes, I have not posted FOREVER!! I left for my trip so the week before I left was pretty much a write off. I was away, got back and then was away again. Came home with the kids with the new puppy Maximus (cutiest thing ever...i will post a picture, or two) and was then waiting for the new washing machine. Now I'm trying to catch up on laundry (2 plus weeks without one will really kill you), house train a dog and also try to find time for myself! Wish me luck I know. I did make a great cake the other day and did remember to snap a pic so when I get a free few minutes I will be sure to share!!
