Absence makes the heart grow stronger.

I've been away far too long.

But I promise I've been busy. Like super busy. Like making to-do lists 50 times a day busy. Like peeling off the fingernail polish I just painted because I'm anxious busy. Like sitting down at the computer to write but feeling flustered busy. So in other words, I've been bussssssy.

I'd like to say I have photos of my recent adventures. But I can't. Mr. D did manage to snap this iPhone pic on our recent trip to Chicago, so if you're not into reading all of these words, I don't blame you. I'll be back with a more visually interesting post soon.

Instead of taking photos, I've been packing, arranging, fretting, planning, pining, and scheming for our upcoming move to North Carolina. Because Mr. D is such a smarty pants, he's continuing his education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. And because I'm his wife, I'm tagging along.

Can you believe it? I can't.

It's two weeks from today, and I still haven't wrapped my head around it. We're really moving across the country? We're really driving 19 hours in a car with a cat? We're really leaving all of our friends and family for a place I've never been in my entire life?

I guess so. And, honestly, I couldn't be more excited. (Ok, I'm a little scared too.) But I'm ready for the adventure and looking forward to the change in scenery.

Plus, can you imagine all of the great blogging material?
