This month has been really busy. I have been slacking on my duties here.

I have been a little preoccupied with the nice change in weather and taking a photography class. This winter was really long and lately I’ve been feeling a little bored. Business is good but after doing similar projects over and over for the past 2 1/2 years I needed to shake it up a bit. So I signed up for a photography class.

I’ve been wanting to get a nicer camera for a while but was a little intimidated about learning how to use manual settings. This was the perfect time to dive in since I have someone to ask when I get stuck. The ‘new’ camera is great, I love it. The class is a perfect outlet for me right now and gives me an excuse to take pictures.

In other exciting news, we’re going to Australia in September! Yay! I’m trying to focus on being excited about seeing Australia and not the 17 hours on a plane + 10 hour layover it will take to get there. So that’s exciting. I figure if I make it through the trip there without totally freaking out I can pretty much fly anywhere. My flying anxiety has been getting better over the past couple years and hopefully this trip will help.

The new house is still great. We’ve done some more decorating and painting. It’s coming together nicely. I’m absolutely in love with Hyde Park. I don’t think we could’ve found a more perfect place for us to live right now.

So things are good.
