Here I go again...

So I know that I have not blogged for a VERY long time... 4 months to be exact and the main reason is life has been a whirlwind of things going on and A TON has happened... but I promise from here on out, I will be better :) I'm sitting here at 1:30 in the morning waiting for my stupid Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake to finish cooking. I made on earlier only to have it fall from the fridge onto the floor at about 11:30 pm. Make another one? I had to, because I promised to have its deliciousness for family dinner tomorrow :(... That frozen cookie dough in the fridge is sounding much better at this point.
