So over the last week I have had one grandma ask how things were because we’ve been “quiet down there” and one friend tell me “well start posting about baby stuff!” Both comments for very different reasons….and no Marisa we will not be on your blog tour….I’m so not that cool or up to date with the world of blogging….I’d be a very boring stop for people….even after this post and future posts to come! And yes it was great to actually talk to my grandma who I haven’t talked to in a long time. And yes, contrary to cyberspace impressions we are all alive and doing well in the wonderful state of Florida…If you know us well and hang with us often you know that we’ve been all over the place for the past 3 months and will continue to be….well forever now that this baby is coming!
I find it very hard to blog while overwhelmed with blessings and controlled chaos all at the same time! It has been a day to day kind of year in ‘09! We have had many visitors in and out since February…deal with pregnancy unknowns (no sickness though…thank God)….new jobs and scheduling..family in town…..cute nephews to hold and play with!…broken cars…fixed cars (thanks to teri, God and on this last one, my smart husband!)….procrastinated work….tiredness…..excitement…pregnancy tears….normal tears…doctors appointments….hoping it is all for real….marriage…..booming business..Sunday afternoons at the park…contemplating moving..walks in st augustine…less tiredness!…contemplating staying…and now the sudden on slot of complete and utter craziness in scheduling….
To say it briefly…life is great! But a great life with many blessings comes with many challenges and much work. For all of this I am very grateful, and well…overwhelmed….
So quiet, yes….holding it all together…absolutely, by God’s grace….excited about future changes still to come…yes.
Love to all who are far and have been wondering where we are!
i love you.
even if you don’t want to be on my blog tour.
