Of course, I post so rarely that you all may or may not have noticed I was missing… Nonetheless, I am back. In [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=128630&highlight=jess) thread I mentioned that my husband and I were looking for a house. Well, a few days after that post, we found one! My beautiful, beautiful house! Because of the situation outlined in that post, my family ended up living in a campground for a month while the house (my beautiful, beautiful house!) closed. So, I was too busy to keep up with the message board before we moved – what with packing and all. Then, in the campground we were without internet service. And, since we moved into the new house (my beautiful, beautiful house!) I’ve been too busy to catch up with the message board – what with unpacking and painting and wallpapering and so on… In fact, I should be stripping the wallpaper in my bedroom right now. However, I am planning to take tomorrow off (literally my first lazy day in months!) and catch up with you all. So, I’m hoping a few kind souls will pop in here and tell me I was missed – even if they have to lie (hint, hint). I missed this board, believe it or not and am happy to be back. I’m looking forward to sitting in the library of my (beautiful, beautiful) house and spending a few hours finding out what went on while I was among the missing. Jess ---

Hey, **Jess**! Welcome back! I don’t spend as much time around here as I used to, but I still pop in from time to time. My big news is that **UncleBill** and I are getting married on Saturday. Oh, and I live in Miami now. ---

**Jess** - I sure noticed you were gone - had hardly seen you around here most of this year! I just figured you and hubby were, umm, catching up. 🙂 Congrats on the house - send pix, and hope to see you soon!
