really, really belated...

I am soooo behind... there have been TONS of things going on here, but I've been too busy to blog at all lately. Unfortunate that my only diary/journal keeping consists of a blog... which means that rather than cheerfully blow it off, I feel guilty. >.< Therefore - a short and sweet list of recent events, which will be expounded upon in later entries.

1. The Awesomest: Chris has graduated!! As of July 23rd, Chris is a graduate of BYU-Idaho with a B.S. in Computer Information Technology. Real celebrations to commence upon the arrival of his actual diploma... :) 13 semesters, 2 schools, and a heckuva lot of hard work = Chris' brain being melted into a puddle of goo. But I've gotta say... I've seriously never seen him in such a good mood. Ever. :)

2. The Wildest/Nicest: Big fat party to celebrate Chris' graduation... lots of food, lots of family... lots of cleaning. :) Thank goodness for generous families who are willing to help out!! Having all of my family, and just about all of Chris' family in town for the graduation (we missed you, Julie and Natalie!) made for lots of Transformers geekiness, and lots of games of Munchkin! We loved having so many people around, but finally kicked them out with threats of walking around the house naked... :)

3. The Most Surprising: I'm actually making some money with this photography thing. Seriously. I know that's probably not something appropriate to blog about, but I'm just kind of in shock that my occasional fun-but-probably-useless hobby has turned into a real live business (I have business cards, a business account, and a mileage book. Doesn't get any better than that, eh?). I just got home from shooting a family reunion in Island Park today, and go back for another on Friday... then to Jackson Hole for a wedding on Saturday. crazy, crazy!

4. The Most Inconvenient: Stupid Kathryn... I lost my wallet. o_O As much as Chris loves me and is willing to help out with getting things replaced/cancelled, he refuses to take my driver's license photo for me... damn. The saddest part of all of this is that my wallet was holding my last bit of Kinjo identity... my student ID card. For the last two years, I've refused to change my student ID to Kathryn "Duncan." Sadness. I feel like a part of me has died...

5. The Most Relieving: For the first time, since we moved into the house in April, EVERY SINGLE ROOM in our house is CLEAN. i can't believe it. up until now, we've had to just keep the trafficked areas clean, and closed doors to the office and our bedroom. but i finally got the chance to deep clean both rooms (which included unpacking the last MILLION or so boxes in the office, as well as reassembling our massive Ikea desk all by myself!)! hallelujah!! I'll post pics sooner rather than later...

6. The Even More Surprising: Chris and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on July 27th! Surprising because I can't believe he's put up with me this long. :) Kudos to him for his patience, long-suffering, and talent for putting up with simultaneous play and torture!

7. The Most Annoying: I hate that we have discovered a bunch of awesome TV shows on Hulu that fuel our procrastinating, sleepless nights... to find out that every. single. one. of them has been cancelled in the first or second season. whyyyy?!?!

8. The Most Illegal: I discovered bittorrent. Enough said. *wicked grin*


Wow. Well, my short list turned out to be long... no surprise there, right? And I'm sure I forgot a few things... Just shows how much of a slacker I am in my blogging duties......
