Let&#8217;s see, we&#8217;ve vacationed in Ireland and Italy, visited Disney, bought a house, bought our first new car, adopted two dogs, and are now expecting our first child.  Add to that finishing up my masters&#8217; degree, lots of family visits, working on the house, and trying to have at least a small social life, and it&#8217;s been a whirlwind.
