It's all such an adventure

I kind of panicked a little and was kind of sad when I checked the last time I wrote. December. December?? Seriously. What happened? That right there is proof that time just flew right by me. I can't believe in the last 2 months I haven't sat down to write. Okay, I can believe it. Between 40 hours of work, commuting to and from, getting house chores down...I haven't squeezed in 5 minutes to tell you all...life is good.

I have so many things in progress that I am excited about.

I have been writing a blog for Michigan Insurance Group. Find it here.

A few of my sisters have joined in helping me put our handmade creations out into the world. We work on projects and share them on our Facebook Page. Find that here. It's just a hobby but I love sharing it with others and hope others can enjoy our creations too. So my crocheting creations have been keeping me busy or should I say distracted? I usually get in a row or two commuting to or from work because R drives.

Yes, that's another thing. We not only share a child, a bed, an apartment, a car, auto insurance and a cell phone but our job too. Our lives are rather involved can you tell? But, I just keep in mind that it's temporary. Even though we spend a lot of time together it's mostly spent hustling and bustling to get things done. I know someday I will look back on these days and smile.

E and M are growing like weeds. Pretty weeds! ;) E says new things every day. Which, sometimes surprise me, sometimes scare me and sometimes make me laugh until I cry. Like when she sings Ol Mc Donald. M is doing science projects about rotting food and getting straight A's. She played on her first basketball team and had a great time!

We are still so very excited to see what the future holds for us. We can't wait until the new Grand Haven location opens for work and the many opportunities that await us. We can't wait to have a home. I can't wait to decorate our home. :) It's all such an adventure.


I hope you are having many adventures too. Happy Friday!

Keep Loving.

The computer just sucks me in.

I'm drawn to the computer. I can feel it pulling me to sit down and write, design, explore, gather resources, ideas, compile my thoughts and design some more. Even after sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours at work I am still drawn to the computer. I am loving work. My biggest struggle is time. As always, there isn't enough time.

I've been trying to brainstorm and come up with a way to start a new entry, to at least keep all of you informed. But I struggle to pull myself out of the marketing, social networking, graphic design work world. Most days my creative juices are flowing and I can't stop creating. Boo who who for me right?!

If time is my biggest complaint I'm doing pretty good right? I agree. Except for days when the creative fruit is all dried up. *wink*

So now you know work is going great. I continue to thrive and learn something new everyday. I feel like my love for work has a positive impact on my family life too. I am happier in myself and there for happier with my family. I don't feel like I'm missing something major as I was before.

In the car ride this morning R told me that he doesn't tell me enough how much he appreciates how far I've come. *big smile* Oh the frustrating days of job searching in between serving tables the same food from the same menu every single day. I am so thankful he had patience and was by my side the entire way.

Reflecting on the not so great times really makes me appreciate these times. It is a great feeling looking back and realizing the mountains we've climbed together. Not every day is bliss but a productive day at work makes for a bit of celebration.

Keep Loving.
