It has been a long time since I last posted! I just haven't felt like I could take the time to sit down and share anything. I have even kind of given up checking my facebook page. I have just been very tired this last 5 months. My job as a preschool teacher is wonderful and is over until next fall. However, I found myself so drained each day that the last thing I wanted or could do was to sit down and write something amazing or clever or "meaningful."
I think one of my biggest hangups about blogging is that I feel inadequate and awkward when it comes to writing and sharing my thoughts. I am married to an amazing, creative and linguistic guy who's posts are super meaningful and interesting. I also have two friends, Chelsea and Stephanie, who are writers. So naturally their posts are also interesting and creative. I am a math person and a sports person. I don't have very many creative ideas that just come to me. I don't tell stories very creatively. So basically I am embarrassed to post because I worry that people might judge me by what I write and then they may not like me and that would be bad. Because I really care what people think about me and I want everyone I meet to really like me and when they don't I get sad and it hurts my feelings. Whew! Now that I got that all out, I think I can post again. Thanks for letting me vent!
Well, first of all, thanks for the compliment! I'm flattered that you've dubbed me a writer.
But secondly, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, we're your FRIENDS, you silly! We love you, we love what you have to say, and we love the way you say it! AND we like knowing what's going on in your life. So please, please, don't ever feel like you can't blog on those accounts. Now, the busy-ness on the other hand....

Yay! You posted again! I hope you'll keep writing about the little things -- it's what keeps us connected. The point isn't being profound or poetic or even grammatically correct. It's just a way for us to communicate since I'm not a good phone person. I'm excited to spend time with you at VBS next week!
