Hello? Blog? Is this really you? My, how it’s been a long time. Actually I’m starting to feel that way with a lot of things. But guess what? I’m ok with that. I’m sure if I looked back at my older posts, at least 40% of them start with something like “I know it’s been awhile since I last wrote but….” followed by some horrible excuse for not blogging as if the world won’t turn without my most recent post. No excuses this time. Don’t get me wrong, I totally miss the writing and drawing.
Some other things it’s been a while for? Wasting time on numerous, well…time wasters. Like facebook. Like drama. Like feeling gloomy.
Ready.
Set.
Go.
Last major spurt of blogging evolved around moving. Downsizing our lives and living for just the two of us. A smart, yet very unfulfilling idea. Life just hasn’t been quite right for some time. On paper, everything was great. Perhaps life was just derailed momentarily.
Well folks, the train is back on track…
In the last three months we have sold and bought a new home. One that is outside of city limits; therefore putting an end to any leash laws, barking complaints, and animal at large tickets. A pasture for the horses, so no more midnight jaunts for the rebels. And for us? More legroom.
Brent was promoted (twice) and is now the supervisor for a crew working out at the mines as a subcontracted company. It’s the perfect hours, perfect everything. He’s worked so hard for everything he’s accomplished, and I couldn’t be more proud. And on his down time, he’s still fighting fires!
I’m still am EMT (and loving it), and a teacher (loving that even more)
It’s a lot harder to unpack with a full time job, but in between class and ambulance calls I empty a few boxes. So what if dinner was served on paper plates for a while, and our shoes were never in pairs. This house is already more of a home than anywhere we’ve lived, and to finally say life is perfect feels so good.
September- Rendezvous. Mom and Pop came up. Got a new Indian dress. Spent the last days of summer riding horses. Started teaching. Brent’s promotion.
November- Moved in. Celebrated a month of Thanksgiving. Found out the wind is a lot stronger way out yonder. Especially when you have zero landscaping….and now no roof to your porch. Went to Florida for a national teacher’s conference. That’s right…Florida….in November…while it was 18 degrees in Wyoming. Boo Ya. Now we’re getting ready for the Holidays.
AH, Liz! I'm so glad that you're doing so well!
