hello dear blog

dearest blog, oh how i've missed you.  feels like so long since we last connected.  months have passed and so much has happened!  where do i even begin??  and who knew i needed you as badly as i've recently discovered i actually do?  the creative outlet (because, you know, the creativity oozes from my pores :)), the ongoing journal for history's sake, the pictures to cherish....all things i now know i miss and will surely regret if i don't get back on the blogging wagon again soon....so, i carefully plan my return to you.  the wheels are turning.  templates, titles, topics~ all are being considered.  not sure how it will look yet, but at least in the nearest future there are some days in the life of my youngest that are definitely noteworthy, here in this very corner of the blog world.  so, while the absence was necessary, i plan to carve a few moments back into my insane rather full schedule to restore our blogging relationship...more soon.  fondly, Shana
