Where has the time gone?

Has it really been 5 years since I even looked at my blog. Or a blog.  Well, where to begin.  I got married 4 years ago.  I met my husband while working in retail in FL.  It was a whirlwind romance and now here we are.  We moved back to VA almost 2 years ago to be closer to my family.  I'm glad we did because not only was my niece born 2 years ago, but we lost my grandmother 7 months ago.  It was unexpected, shocking and the most difficult thing I've ever had to go thru.  My grandma was more like a second mom to me and my brother. I am so thankful I was able to spend more time with her in her last months.  But, she is healthy and in a better place now so I try to focus on my family that is here, mainly my neice.  She is a mini-me.  Its like the fun part of having kids but then sending them home when they start acting up.  Its kind of awesome.  I'm not sure if I will have children of my own.  I'm not sure I want to bring an innocent life into the madness of the world today.  It wouldn't be fair to them I don't feel like.  

So for now we have our 2 cats to raise and take care of.  We are starting to look at our options on buying a home and settling down.  I happened to stumble across my old blogs and realized how much I missed writing.  Hopefully I'll remember how this all works and I'll find time to post!
