Long time no blog.
December. was. busy. I know it sounds like an excuse, and I'm sorry, but I've really only just now started to catch my breath. And on top of all of that, I've also got the boys birthday party in the works, and all of the last minute prep before baby's arrival.
Also, I just feel so freaking amazing lately.
What an amazing life I have. Do you ever have moments like that? Where you're just overcome with gratitude for your incredible amazing life and you wouldn't change a single thing about it because it's perfection in every way? That's how I feel lately, and honestly, it's hard to find the motivation to blog while I feel this way because I don't need the daily reminder that I have things to be grateful for. I don't need the grounding force that this blog once provided. I'm too busy living my amazing life and enjoying every minute of it and if ever there was a reason to be absent from your blog, that's got to be at the very top, right?
One excellent thing that this blog did once provide, however, is a great place for me to look back at the special little moments in my life. It forced me to slow down a bit throughout my day, and reminded me to take photos of my own kids, and not just other people's. I'd like to make an effort this year to jump back on the blog bandwagon, because I definitely do have moments where I miss it. And I know that one day I'll be happy I did because these memories and these thoughts are so terribly priceless, and the person that I am is changing so incredibly quickly that sometimes I feel as though I'm unrecognizable from one day to the next.
Some things I'd like to get blogged before baby's grand entrance into this world are:
- our friends' new baby arrival!
- Christmas (and new years?)
- baby prep
- one big pregnancy recap
- letters to each of my boys
It's ambitious, I know, but I've been very ambitious lately on a lot of fronts. Blame it on the nesting impulse that's guiding every decision I make right now (and preventing me from some much needed sleep, to boot.) I've got a lot of things on the go right now, and if I don't course correct this blog before baby arrives, I may never! I fell off the wagon before Theodore was born too, and look what came of that! I never even blogged his birth story. None of you even know how that kid came into this world. One day he was just... here. If only! Maybe I'll throw that on my list of to-do posts, too. A long (long!) overdue birth story for Theodore. We shall see.
For now, thanks for checking back in and believing in me that one day I'd return, and thanks for being so understanding of my absence. I hope you and the rest of the world are absorbing as much joy from this life as I am right now, and that you check back in again soon (to find some juicy new posts that I absolutely am going to get done!)
