Sadly, it has been a while since I've posted an update, but I am pleased to announce that I am finally playing catch up! Look below and you'll even see a few photos that I've added to my Housewarming Party II post.
You may not always notice a new blog post, but if you go to my Picture of the Day section you'll find a photos and "mini blogs" to go with each photo. I'm better at updating my Picture of the Day section when the photos are taken with mine or Dan's phone - because then I just email them to myself. If I take a photo with an actual camera... well, then things get delayed because I have to upload the pictures to my computer first. I don't know why, but I have been such a slacker at uploading photos onto my computer from my camera(s).
Anyway, today we get to have an extra day in the year! Woohoo! The weather outside is gorgeous! Maybe spring will be here a lot faster than usual? I sure hope so! Well, no matter, I hope you make the most of this extra day in 2012!

Where I Belong
There is this new song by Building 429 that has been on "repeat" inside my head for several weeks now. Every time it gets played on the radio I crank it up and don't hold back while I sing along.
This is a song that I wish I had written. The lyrics move me to tears (joyful tears!) when I am caught up in worship. If you've put your faith is Jesus Christ, I'm sure you'll connect with this song.

Housewarming Party II
REWIND! I'm going to take a step back in time and blog about mine and Dan's second housewarming party.
On Saturday, January 28th Dan and I had our second housewarming party. The guest list consisted mostly of camp friends and co-workers.
That morning, Dan and I went to Corner Bakery to enjoy a free breakfast panini. Certainly not a bad way to start the day. After that we made a quick stop at the mall and later went home to set up for our party.
The party got started at 5:00 p.m. that evening. The whole house was clean and the food was ready. Our first guests arrived shortly after 5:30 and after that we had a nice, steady flow of friends joining our party.
Dan and I seem to take turns giving the official house tour this time around - somehow it ended up being mostly my job at our last party. Once again, it was so nice to have so many loved ones in our home at once.
Not sure how this happened (again!), but I completely forgot about photos! Thankfully, Kaylin pulled out her camera so we could get a photo just before her and Sarah left. That was when it hit me... I haven't been taking photos! Gah! Where has my head gone? From that moment on I grabbed Dan's point and shoot camera and started snapping photos like crazy! Not all of our guests were still there, but at least I got some of them. I'll update this post with photos - once I put them on my computer.
Our last six guests left at about 1:00 a.m. It was an evening full of laughs and fantastic memories! Shame it had to end so early. ;)
UPDATE: Here are some photos from our second housewarming party (finally!).
