You know what happens when you run out of time to blog?
I do.
You get panicky with each passing week, thinking you’ve missed sharing the important stuff with your far away friends and family.
Then another week goes by, and then a month, and then two months, and then you think there is no possible way you could ever catch up on all the important and fabulous things that you have been rocking in your life so you avoid blogging because you get panicky and sweaty and worried you won’t do your months of memories justice.
Then, for me anyway, your fingers itching to type something that isn’t a theory, a thesis, a close reading or an analysis outweighs the panic and you just write instead.
So – yeah – I’ve been a little absent, but it’s great news because I was doing this awesome thing I have been trying: living in the moment.
I’m pretty certain I last left off telling you how fabulous my family reunion went – which it totally did. I am still proud of myself for that level of awesome. So to sum up my adventures AFTER that I will say this:
*Never fly United if you can avoid it, their customer service sucks.
*The pacific North East is gorgeous but the jury is still out on if the humidity is worth it.
*The sacred grove is the most peaceful place I have been on this earth
*My husband’s childhood memories of his family cabin could never do justice to actually being able to see it, feel it, sleep in it, sit outside the fire there and walk through the very woods and hills that he traipsed through when he was a lad. I think connected to one another’s favorite memories of growing up brought us even closer – and I didn’t even know that was possible.
*P.S. – the food there ^^ will make you gain a bagillion pounds but it was delicious. End of Story.
*The weddings we attended filled our hearts.
*The car is a serious trooper; it nailed a deer and survived. Bonus? Doug is no longer a deer hitting virgin. Welcome to being a true Wyomingite my love!
*Japan is a long damn ways away and that goodbye hurt.
*Pumpkin Spice donuts from Cowboy Donuts in Rock Springs are the closest you can get to heaven on earth.
*Watching Mr. Manning wear orange and do his magic in real life from the 50 yard line is a very close second to sex. (Sorry Ma, I know you raised me better than that, but it just is.)
*Grandparents growing old never gets easier.
*Full time school, full time job, full time wife, church commitment and home maintenance is not for the weak of heart. Word.
I’m sure that’s not enough to cover what I have been doing, but it’s a starting point. I will just have to move forward from here!
P.S.S. (because I already had a P.S. waayyy up there) it felt good to write and not analyze or prove a point.
