Hey guys. I'm fully aware of the unannounced months-long hiatus. I'm really sorry about that. I just wanted to drop in to explain.
A couple of things happened. Firstly, our blogger account says it's full and we can't upload any more photos. That's a simple fix: I just need to create a Flickr or photobucket account and continue with business as usual. I just haven't gotten around to doing it.
Which brings me to the second thing. I've turned a corner with my thesis work. In short, it's crunch time (and it's only going to get worse). And I just don't have the energy for blogging right now. We also haven't been picking up the camera as much, or trying as many ambitious cooking projects. Again: crunch time. We've been eating a lot of TV dinners, frozen pasta and take-out.
Lastly, my computer situation is kind of up in the air. I replaced my work and home computers both at the same time, and moving all my life's most important files over (everything from our precious family and food photos to the all-important lab data) is nerve-racking and time consuming. I'm also using a tablet for my day-to-day web browsing now rather than a laptop, which is far less than ideal for blogging.
In any case, this is the situation: I will obviously be blogging less often. But I will make an attempt to pop in from time to time and keep you updated on all our various adventures (even if they are a little less exciting these days). But I'm not going away. After I graduate, Brandon and I are moving to Seattle, and there are going to be a great many new adventures there. The move will take place some time around August, possibly later, but no later than December. Once in Seattle, I hope to start blogging with a vengeance again. After all, we'll have a whole new city's worth of restaurants to try!
I appreciate your patience. Wish me luck on my thesis, and I promise we'll resurface after I finish grad school. Believe me when I say; I'm really looking forward to it.
