One year later

Best laid plans of mice and men. .. er, women. Meant to post somewhat consistently, but here it is one year later. Oy. Lots going on though, so I guess the best explanation is I was just too busy to write it all down.

Anyway, herewith my abbreviated update:

• We've continued in our quest to make the house more livable inside & out (see other posts)
• Graduated one child from high school
• Moved one child into high school
• Lost one job
• Awarded a grant which replaced said job
• Got one promotion
  
• Saw aforementioned grant end with no replacement
• Hiked more of the Arizona desert
• Visited the local sites (museums, etc)
• Finally got the pool Ph stabilized
  
• Had loads o fun along the way with family in California and visits from family here

Not too shabby, eh? Told ya we were busy.

I'll start posting the work on the house separately so you can take it in bite size pieces.
