Odds, Ends and New Beginnings

I just wanted to pop in for a sec and let everybody know we're going to be resuming things here on a more regular basis this week.

There's still a lot going on, especially with Matt starting college this week (YAY!). Then, to add stress on top of stress (good stress, though) we're beginning the whole process of packing things and getting ready to move in together the first of October. Since Matt's going to school full-time, I'm going to be in charge of a lot for a while, like getting all the utilities in our name, arranging for cable, getting our address changed on everything, and on and on and on. It's a lot, but I've got more time than him right now to do all this and I'm really, really looking forward to this new phase of our relationship.

Also, until he gets his feet on the ground in college, I'll probably be posting here more than him, at least for a while. With all his attention problems, I've anointed myself "Boss Bradley." But you can just call me Boss, which is what Matty is doing!

So, the title of this post is Odds, Ends and New Beginnings. The "odd" part of the title refers to some of the "odd" things that have been going on lately. I looked up the word "odd" in Wiktionary and it said "The original meaning is 'left over'." So, I want to write some about what's been happening since we recently took a break from the blog... the "left over" stuff.

The "End" part refers to some of the things that are coming to an end. We're going through huge changes right now and that means some things we're use to are coming to an end. We want to write some about how we're dealing with those endings.

Then "New Beginnings" refers to how we're thinking about our future together and all the new stuff that's happening.

So, the other thing we want to say is a HUGE thank you for all your encouraging and supportive messages while we've been on a break from the blog. We've truly missed you guys and apologize for not responding to all the private messages and emails we've gotten. We hope to be back on track with some normality soon.

Anyway, we're glad to be back. Thanks for bearing with us.
