Wow - it has been forever since I have posted..so long that my few readers may have lost interest and I seriously forgot my blog password and almost decided to forget blogging. Life these past 7 months have been stressful, challenging, hard, and interesting. There has been many life changing events happen and craziness that caused my mind to be a blank slate if I even considered posting a blog.
But the move is done, that was 1 of the big things that happened. We relocated hours away to Eastern Washington and although the house we were trying to buy fell thru and we now find ourselves renting and hope to buy soon...life has drastically slowed. So much so that I even have had troubles fighting boredum. But really ... I cannot be bored. There is no excuse for that!
I promised myself that since I WAY OVER-extended myself these past 2 years that once we moved and my previous life and responsibilities were over, which they now are...that I would SLOW down. Concentrate on being me, being a mother, being a wife and enjoying those roles. Don't fill up on a million responsibilities that aren't mine to take on.
This next year...I plan and hope to accomplish a year focused on being a good mom and wife, getting healthy and losing this weight, and focusing on my schooling. Those are the big ones! The most important. I have used for the first time ever the sentence, "Let me think about it and I will get back to you on that." Rather than committing to what was being asked of me. For me that was a huge step. I always say yes and I tackle a 100 things that people want me to do and because I try with every fiber of my being to be a person of my word I end up putting the truly important things, like my family and my health, on the back burner to do what I said I would do.
So....my new journey begins, 4 more weeks of summer break before our new life really starts. New school for my girls. We have started over and that has been a lonely challenge. I miss the green trees and cooler temperatures and mostly I miss my friends. A girl has to have her friends...thankfully with todays technology staying in contact with them is easier than ever but oh how I miss those hours of talk over coffee, seeing my friends face to face and getting the best hugs ever.
If you happen to think of us, send a prayer our way. Adjusting to new things and a new life is hard but oh, the possibilities!
My Lindsey girl just learned to ride without training wheels!! She got it down fairly quickly to our surprise. These past 6 months she has had no interest in even trying and then suddenly yesterday she wanted to try and struggles to get the balancing right - then today got it and went. By the end of the week she will be an old pro!! I am so proud of you Lindsey!
Sweet...
This is Lady! And she is every sense of her name. Lady is 10 years old. This is the same look she had on her sweet little face 10 years ago when she was 6 weeks old - I had picked her out from a bunch on fun crazy little puppies all trying their best to be the one to be pet and played with. And here she was, sitting in the back just watching. She hasn't changed much!
The theatre group that I am apart of A.L.T.A. - www.altatheatre.com just finished our last performance of The Foreigner. This year was a great success!! We end with our last 3 shows sold out. It was many nights of great laughs and I thought I would show you the set that I have worked on for the past 3 months. Of course it was not just me - A.L.T.A. has a great crew of talented people.
