So, I guess it takes one of 2 things to get me to blog:
1. spending at least 8 hours a day by myself in a foreign country with no other personal contact
or
2. the breaking of my furnace so as to trap me in my bed, under my covers, in my bedroom with an electric heater waiting for the furnace man to come for several hours.
The rarity of the two scenarios equates to the rarity of my blog posts.
But this "real life" stuff that occurs between my sporadic public cyber displays has taught me many things:
Real Life Revelation #1: Marriage is way better than it's cracked up to be
One year wedding anniversary celebrations
Real Life Revelation #2: Skydiving is much more terrifying in retrospect
My reaction to the event: pure disbelief that God let me survive
Real Life Revelation #3: My grandmother and sister's daughter like my husband more than me
Thanksgiving in D.C.
Real Life Revelation #4: My junior high teachers/counselors were wrong: friendships do last
Florida trip to visit Katie
Halloween Murder Mystery Dinner
Real Life Revelation #5: Jess has at least double the leg length of my own
Real Life Revelation #6: This really isn't a personal revelation, but a revelation in behalf of all those who doubted and were brought to the truth of the matter at my Quidditch Cup Birthday Party that Cassie, Chelsey and Liz (partial disbelievers themselves) threw>
The world of Harry Potter is not just for children and Quidditch can
be enjoyed with or without brooms
All you need are a couple of excellent friends who will commit crimes of theft in your behalf (for legality purposes said friends will remain anonymous).
You know who you are Cass.
The sorting of the teams
Slytherin Team Meeting
Real Life Revelation #7: Columbus Day Celebrations have been the best kept secret for the last 21 years of my life
Real Life Revelation #8: Trent sings like an angel
Real Life Revelation #9: By far the most rewarding DYI creation: Halloween Costumes
Magic School Bus anyone?
Warren Jeff's Crew(Notice: Kel really knows how to give it to the camera.)
Tumnus and Lucy
That's at least 4 month's worth of blogging.

Good girl Annie. I'm proud of you for biting the blogging bullet.
Revelation #29 Keeping a golden snitch in motion is a doozie.
P.S. I think Nie Nie copied your white lit wreath. If that isn't a self-esteem boost, I don't know what is. (One thing I didn't see was where the lights went from the wreath. I wonder if they were carefully draped across her mantle as beautifully as yours?)
I wish I had as good of revelations as you. Loved this post! Friendships do last! Don't believe everything you hear. :) Love you!
As a junior high teacher, I guess I need to stop shattering young girls' dreams of being "Best Friends Forever." I stand corrected.
hahahaha okay Annie we both about died laughing looking at your Columbus day costumes! SO great! And we are happy to see you back in the blogging world, even if it is for a small moment. We'll be awaiting the next one in a few months! :)

speaking of crying- i experienced my first crazy emotional pregnancy syndrome today. haha i had to leave lucy (my sister's dog that i've grown attached to- i'm by far her favorite and i love her!!) i put her in her kennel when we were leaving for the airport and i started bawling. if i have that hard of a time leaving a dog, looks like i won't be vacationing for a long time unless i bring my baby with me!! haha love yoU!!!!! can't wait to move back so we can play more!

Love this post. I am happy that the revelation that trent could sing really well made it because I was totally surprised and was clearly over confident in how well I knew him. jokes always on trent and I.
also, I'm happy to see that I am apart of a lot of these memories. The only pic missing is one of the tricycle.. wee ooh wee ooh wee ooh.
