I have been AWOL for the last couple of months, which I guess makes this a zombie post? Life had been crazy busy with work and family obligations, a couple of health issues and one big project that I will write about next week. But mostly I’ve been trying to slow down a bit and enjoy the lovely fall we are having.

It has always been my habit to jam pack every single day from the moment I get out of bed until it’s time to return. My To Do lists are epic and, most of the time at least slightly aspirational, as no mere human could possibly accomplish all the tasks I set for myself on a given day. I’ve lived that way for as long as I can remember but things have changed in my life in the past year or so and I am enjoying the slower pace that comes along with having other people in my life.

Last year, I was lucky enough to meet the love of my life.

He is kind, funny, smart, loyal and devastatingly handsome.

Because I am me, it took me a very long time to believe that this amazing man was interested in me, but over time, I realized that we were pretty amazing together.

Last week, on the anniversary of the day we met, in the exact spot where we met, Mike asked me to marry him. It was the singularly most romantic moment of my life.

Getting engaged quite unexpectedly renewed my urge to write something for this blog  because I was so anxious to share this amazing moment with all of you, who have been with me through the struggles and joys of the last seven years.

So this blog will be returning from the dead. Maybe not with the manic zeal of the old old days, but with a renew dedication to sharing the things that matter with each other.

There are good days ahead, my friends.
