Only took 2 1/2 years to come back...

I love reading old posts of mine, but I hate that they have reminded me that I haven't been here for 2 1/2 years! And I'm not into waiting until a New Year's resolution to get back into a good habit. My need for journaling has prompted me to revisit this old blog site, mostly because when there is so much going on in my head that I want to journal about, it helps me to type instead of write...simply because I can keep up a little more.

Over the last couple years, one child has turned into two, I started my own business that is relatively successful so far (we'll see), and my hair has been a variety of colors. Bobby and I just celebrated 8 years of marriage, which felt less like a celebration and more like a 'Wow! We've endured what?' I've watched a million wedding ceremonies, and also watched marriages fall apart. I've seen babies born, babies adopted, and babies grow up. My baby girl is now 4, my baby boy is now 1, and I'm...well...I'm 30. Yikes. It was a birthday I was actually looking forward to, hoping in a way to leave behind some of the stuff that came with my 20s. However, some of it followed me, some of it became worse, and those stubborn fine lines around my eyes got just a little more defined.

So I don't really know where I'm going with that other than to say that a lot of time has passed, and at the same time, it all feels like yesterday. But here I am again, hopefully to record more of my journey, more of my life, and most of all, more of my healing. This IS me.

Remember...

Life's too short for sensible shoes.
