Update!!

Well, I'm back a month early, and I'm okay with that.  I've had such a desire to write lately, and after writing 10 unpublished posts in the past week, I decided the break is clearly over. lol

First things first - Happy Birthday to my BFF, Malo-riah!!  I am so very thankful for you.

• If I had the patience, I might have waited 2 days to start back on my official "bloggiversary." lol
• This break was good for me... far less TV and more reading, and I feel more at peace and closer to God.  He has really been working on me in the area of LOVE and taking responsibility.  More details on that soon.
• I also had a major revelaton after reading one tiny sentence about Paul... that will be my next post... get excited! lol
• And now, a mini picture-filled update...
