new and improved!!

well, as you have already noticed, i am doing some housecleaning on the ol' blog. please bear with me...i am definitely not an expert, but figuring things out as i go! i have figured out how to get a bigger slideshow and in the next couple of days or weeks (you should see our calendar!) i will be taking all of the side bar pictures (pics on the right side) off and hopefully onto a couple of separate slideshows...only with a few of my favs from the last 11 months...holy smokes has it been that long?! please keep checking back, we'll keep the ever interesting posts, awesome pics, and groovy tunes coming!!!! that is if i don't mess things up too bad!!! ha!
