Tax Day and Dooms Day

Filed my taxes today....last day to do so.  It's a rarity for me to file my taxes on the last day, but it is done; enough said.

It's been 4 months since my last post.  My grandma Nanny (mom's side) passed away in February and I was able to make it back for the funeral.  It wasn't a surprise when my mother called about her passing, but it was sad nonetheless. I know she is in her heaven and with God.  

My brother Randy graduated last week and is officially Dr. Randall Kipp. I'm so proud of him and happy!  He's brilliant and hopefully now that his schooling is done, he and his wife Kristin can start planning on having a baby!

My boyfriend and I still live in California and love it!  Lately he has been obsessed with a tv show called Doomsday Preppers.  We have been building our "bug out bags" and emergency 72 hour kits the last couple months; we've even staked out a designated "bug out location". This summer we will test our survival skills. Well actually, I will test out my survival skills as he is pretty capable and knowledgable on how to survive in the outdoors.  We have also been talking about adopting a rescued Beagle...we have a couple in mind and the adoption applications have been sent. Next step, wait to hear if we will be selected....my fingers are crossed!
