Been Busy...with Excitement!

I know it has been awhile since I've posted. I could throw out lots of excuses, but I won't. I will, however, promise to post pictures of my recent business trip to the Big Easy (New Orleans for those not familiar) to attend an Ace Hardware Convention.

 
But I also wanted to announce, like my sister,...drumroll please...last week (while in New Orleans) I bought my plane ticket to the Philippines! Yes, after like 6 years in the making (I don't hold anything my brother-in-law), my sister and I are off to the island nation to visit the city she called "home" for 18 months back when she was serving a mission. We leave the end of May and will be there for 2 weeks (thank goodness for a wonderful boss who also likes to travel and therefore readily approves any and all of my adventures)! I'm so excited I can't wait!
