so i havent written in a very long time and for that i apologize. i wish i could say i have been busy busy busy. but its not entirely true. for lack of a better explanation....i just stopped feeling the desire to blog. i have felt uninspired...but have been reading other peoples blogs daily. i have been collecting so many ideas and sites and have just been too lazy to post them. so i shall begin now.

we are getting ready to go camping this weekend. it is the hanna family reunion which occurs once every two years. so i am very excited. i was raised in a family that is very close so this means a lot to all of us. my cousins aunts uncles and extended family is some of my closest friends. so i cant wait to spend the weekend with them.

this is as close to a vacation that i am going to get this year too (even though being honest i havent "gone on a vacation" in several years) but i sure want to go on one.

joanna goddard of a cup of jo blog posted a great post about her family vacation on the hudson river..and i will not lie..i am itching to go on a similar vacation...
