General public and dedicated (ha!) readers, it's been over two months since my last real update. Hmm. That feels too much like the beginning of a confessional.
Anyway, it has been an absurdly long time since last I told the world what's been going on in the Shive house.
February: I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I know that February included Valentine's Day. I had a girl scout meeting that night, and we had a bunch of fun. I baked a couple dozen heart-shaped cupcakes and bought frosting and sprinkles and candies, and the girls and I decorated and ate the treats, then we played games. We had to wait until we'd covered the official business first, but that didn't take much time at all--it was party night!
When I got home, Jay was just finishing up dinner. He made us a delicious fondue that we dipped bread, apples, and tiny sausages in. For dessert, we had strawberries, apples, bananas, and pound cake in a dark chocolate fondue. SUuuuuuUper good.
Jay and I started watching Dexter on NetFlix. It's dark, but interesting and I like it. So does Jay. We're actually watching it right now!
Of course, I can't forget about Snow-pocalypse! Or Ice-pocalypse, if you prefer. That was five unexpected days off school. And five days when I read waaayyyy too many craft blogs. But I love them! And I live vicariously through their crafts, which is good because we don't have room for me to put the crafts I'd make or anywhere to make the crafts.
Um... that's all I remember of February.
March: We have plants! Yeah! Jay and I finally went out and bought a metal table, a green bamboo planter, and two leafy and brightly colored plants. They're super cute. And they brighten up the whole patio.
My sister's wedding is coming up on Saturday, so that's a big deal. We're all working to make it as nice as possible, especially with the highly restricted timeline. It's going well, and I think it's going to be beautiful.
Also, I took my certification exams! I passed two of them for sure, but I'm still waiting on the results of my third test. I feel pretty confident that I did well, but I won't know for certain until they post my results. And let me tell you: this is a difficult wait.
So. I think you're all caught up with some of the important stuff. :)
