Hello Again!

Well it looks like the blog is pretty much as I left it... can't believe it's been almost six months since I posted anything! My problem is, ideas come to me when I'm driving or on the bus to work and by the time I get home, all inspiration to blog has left me!

So what have I been doing for the past six months? More of the same, actually. Life is pretty much the same as ever. Work is crazier and more hectic, personal life is still up in the air. I say that because, although Eric and I are engaged, we're still really no closer to actually living in the same house in the same city and being married. Having said that, he's been looking in to the possibility of early retirement. Wow - how old does that make me sound? LOL!

Actually, the more he researches it, the possibility of him taking early retirement in July 2008 is not so "out of left field" as we thought and it's actually quite a viable possibility. Might be easier than convincing his bosses that allowing him to relocate to the Pacific Northwest, which they seem to be resisting at the moment.

As for me, well I don't think I ever mentioned it on my blog before, but I'm still waiting to hear some resolution on the class action lawsuit that the homeowners in my subdivision have against the builder. I wouldn't even try to sell before that gets resolved (probably couldn't even if I wanted to) so I'm staying put for now and in the meantime making the most of my house and getting a lot of enjoyment out of it and the garden I've worked so hard on.

So perhaps all the delays will work out for the best, in the end. Eric and I just have to be patient.

And in the meantime, we have our regular weekends together where either he comes here (most usual) or I go there (occasional), our nightly online chats, regular emails and phone calls.

We're in this for the long haul :)
