UPDATE FAIL. Sorry. I’ve been having a hard time this year. I feel like I’m finally coming out of it – later than expected – but it just feels like I’ve had to re-teach myself so many lessons. I don’t want to get into it too much. It’s just funny how amazing 2008 was, despite the 8, and here I am in ’09 struggling. I’ll figure it out, though.

I don’t even know where to begin; I’ve missed so much. The most exciting: I have a nephew and a baby second cousin (or first cousin once removed?)! Mason James Ogborne and Laura Lynn Bauer showed up as expected in March and are as adorable as ever. Jenny and I are going out to SF in May for a visit and baptism (!!!). I’m very proud to be Mason’s godmother along with the JennJester. Amazing!

I had a lot more to say but I’m not feelin’ it, sorry. I just want to go read Perfect Fifths, ha! There’s so much more I’ve missed but I’ll have to catch up later. Just wanted to get something out there. I’ll try to be better.
