I'm alive.... and my A, B, C's

I know I've been MIA far too long. I do miss being here a lot, but I started working full time three weeks ago. I haven't worked a 40 hour week in over 11 years. It is taking some getting-used to! It hasn't been too bad, but it leaves me less free time. (read: less computer time!) Coupled with an intense volleyball season by the the girl, and I have no free time at all! We're leaving for Atlanta on Thursday night for the last one, thank goodness. I've enjoyed it but will be happy to see the season end. Then in just over two weeks, we leave for Italy! I think right now I'm too tired to be excited, but I know that will change as we get ready to leave. Don't worry, I bought extra cards for my camera and will pack plenty of batteries!
