Well… maybe not *really*, but today, as I was reading friend E’s blog, I noticed that this blog is on her ‘interesting reads’ list. Very cool and nice to know that she thinks what I have to say may be interesting! But at the same time, I realized that YIKES! I haven’t updated since I promised I would in that first post! Oops!

To remedy this, I’ll give a quick update on recent & soon-to-be happenings w/ me & the fam.

• I have once again taken up trying to learn Japanese. This is primarily with the help of my friend Mac. I can now say good morning (おはよう！*), introduce myself (わたしはアナです。*), and say that I’m cold (わたしはさむいです。*). I also know how to politely reply when meeting someone, say thank you, and ask a question. That’s about it so far, but I’m hopeful that I will be able to progress if I keep it up at the rate I am currently studying.

• J2 stated for the first time this weekend: “He [J1] hit me!” And so it begins… ^_^ Well it began a while ago, ever since Jae started protesting about having a toy taken out of her hands, but this is the first time we’ve heard it verbalized.
• We’re moving in 2 weeks. In town, don’t worry! All I can say is thank you LORD! I am so ready.
• My husband is still job hunting. He plans on subbing in the fall and has some other things in the works, but if you know anyone who wants to hire a worship minister, please keep him in mind!
• I have been working fervently (most nights) on various fiber crafts: dying and fiber preparation, spinning, and knitting. I’m having a grand ol’ time doing it, and have created items I am very proud of thus far!

I think that’s about it for now, but I will update as I think of new stuff, or as it comes up. I have big plans to make it look slick around here, but I’m experimenting and doing all of my tweaking before I put the theme up this time (unlike on my yarn blog, TGLY; it’s still a work in progress over there!).

TTFN!
