And Thus Life Went On

After almost three months of silence, I think it's time to find my voice again. It's funny how you lose the will to write sometimes, and not even for any real reason. Life just becomes overwhelming and everything you were in the middle of doing seems unimportant compared to the new things you could do instead if you wanted. At least that's what happens to me. Sometimes blogging takes a back burner to just enjoying moments as they come and trying to figure out this life of mine in a way that makes sense.

But then the itch comes back. It starts behind my ears, whispering about how funny this or that would be if written just so. Then it moves to the my fingers and they start to caress the key board of my Mac lovingly, trying to remember the feel of "tap, tap, tap" and the joy of creativity. Finally, it settles in my brain, nagging at me until my ears and my fingers and all the rest of me can't rest before coming back and recording and retelling and embellishing all the parts of my life that make me smile.

And that's how I got here again after a long break and a lot of change and just a few emotional outbursts. I hope you're all still well and willing to welcome me back with open arms, and that you're ready to hear the news (if you haven't already).

In September, this happened.



And now, this is growing.

(8 Weeks Ultrasound)
And this is happening.


So that was my giant distraction, and now I'm back, and we are going to have a baby on or around June 10th, 2013. We couldn't me more thrilled/excited/nervous/blessed. Truly.

Thanks Sandi! I'm glad I'm back too! I need to catch up with you! I feel like I've been a very terrible blogging buddy.
