I pose this, of course, because it has been over a month since I last posted anything. It is slightly odd that I would have to bring myself to write, to consciously say to myself: "Hey you, you should blog tonight." Anyone who knows me knows that I love, even have a passion for writing ever since I was young. I remember vividly sitting at my desk in the room I shared with my sister Megan writing stories, and wanting Megan to write stories with me. I still have get so much joy from writing, whether it be poetry or books, or thoughts. I would always say you can't lie on paper. Why would you bother? It would often make my emotions tangible, as if putting it on paper could ensure the reality of what I was feeling, even if it was just for that moment... So why... why do I have so much trouble with the blog? It comes down to the audience...statisically (according to Kathy, but probably very accurately) I am in the 1 percentile of the facebook world- yes, I do not have facebook. Nor do I want it. Though, I admittedly had a moment after watching "Social Network" that it crossed my mind. My point being, I would second guess doing it simply because why would ANYONE want to know my thoughts on fried versus baked, or the make shift toy chest, or the nonsense nothing that I am writing now...but it hit me, it doesn't matter. I will write for me, like everything else I have written. So cheers!
My mom advised me years ago, we're talking high school, to pick the people in your life that their opinion of you matters, and then stick with that. Since then I have been careful to select those people. I feel like the list may be small, but it will be those people that will always have your best interest at heart. I hope for my children that in the friendships they make they will be able to feel uplifted, happy, and leave feeling better about themselves, but mostly I hope they will have the courage to walk away from ones that don't. I am not saying to be a fair weather friend by any means, because there will be times where a friend needs you to lift them, whether it be just to listen, or just to care, and I am more than happy to be that friend, but to realize how you feel about yourself when you leave. There is something to be said about the kind of person that has the ability to make someone else feel better, when so much of the world wants you to feel worse...I hope I can be that person.

In Anticipation of...
All of the above. Wow... I remember back in December thinking... "Ok, we have 6 months."
That is plenty of time to enjoy the company of family and friends, time to lally gag around, and shoot the breeze in whatever capacity we so choose. Now, we are here. it is mid May quickly approaching a time that we will be moving our little family to the east coast. I had been packing a box a day for a week, but because of the need/use of many items I found I would run out of things to pack. As Sam and I were calandaring the other day I said to him: "Hey! we can have a set time to pack every day!" Sam looked at my with a very Sam look that said..."really?? But said: "I'm not worried about packing, I can pack a whole house in a day..." I returned his same look. "...I won't," he added wisely, "but I could."
We have been talking means of moving, transportation, expenses, places to live, and many other things that go into moving, and it is A LOT of talk, we can talk scenerios till we turn blue in the face.
While this move will be taking us across the country we have been looking at cars as well. We have been to about 8 dealerships in 3 days, and I'm looking at cars on the road in a whole different way. Here, we are both pretty tired of the process, and know it is coming down to decision making time. But, as we found ourselves sitting with a salesman today as he offered us a way to just drive off with the new car, I believe if the room had been any quieter you could hear Sam and I gulping simultaneously. Uhhh...What?! Today?! Ha! I don't know about that.
In anticipation of the big upcoming events in our lives we will keep you posted. In the meantime...we will love the company of family and friends, lally gag around, and shoot the breeze in whatever capacity we please.
