I'm still alive!

It has been a month since I started my new(ish) job, and the hours are kicking my butt! That is the main reason why this post is so very, very late. That, and I am getting used to having to keep clean a space that is twice as big as our last apartment. Between those to things, by the time it comes to 9 pm (which is my new bed time, because I am waking up at 4:30 most mornings) I am asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. 

I am having a hard time finding a balance between everything right now, I know that it will happen but the transition is more difficult than I thought it would be. We have been so busy hanging out with friends and family now that we are back in NH, it's been so lovely to be able to see our people so much. 

The past couple days I have been better at juggling everything and I have even been able to start some new knitting projects, including a sweater, shrug, scarf and of course a couple pairs of socks... knock on wood they are all working out so far. Also in my knitting world.... Conor put together some organizational cubes for me to put my yarn in. Years ago when I used to dream of our house I would picture my craft/knitting room and think of all the things I would put in it, and how I would organize things. Our new house isn't huge but in our "office" (really all purpose room, with computers) I now have a yarn wall. Yes, that's right, a YARN WALL. It's perfect, everything I dreamed of, oh and I am also so very proud of my stash!

For any non-knitters this might seem like a lot but it is a well stocked stash!

Oh and we got the new couch! It's comfy and fits perfectly, and will be great for entertaining(not that we are big entertainers, it's just what everyone on HGTV says so...) 


Our garden is producing a small crop of cherry tomatoes. The plants are getting so big and look like we will be a very decent crop for a container garden on our back deck! There are even two very small peppers! I would recommend a container garden to others who might live in an apartment or townhouse and want some fresh veggies, but do not have yard! We have 4 big pots and a giant railing pot, and have room for our small bistro set and a grill. 

 there are bigger tomatoes on the left and on the right are the cherry tomatoes!

teeny tiny peppers!


And we will end this post with a picture of Troeg enjoying his deck! He loves going out there to watch any people walking on the road or squirrels in the woods, and well he's pretty darn cute.
