I find it funny that just two posts ago, I wrote about begin a writer and hoping to blog more consistently. Then almost 3 years of silence with just a post about pumpkins in there. This is what my journals always look like, too. “I’m going to start journaling regularly” they invariably say every few years. I used to journal regularly… when I was stuck in school every day with pen and paper. But since then, I tend to journal only when I’m stressed or sad. Future journal finders should take that into account when reading them. I don’t want you to think I had such a bad life, overall.
When I got married, my husband asked me to keep a journal for us. I began writing several times a week. Then I went down to just Sundays and then I fell back into my “when I feel stressed” mode. So, definitely take that with a grain of salt because my marriage overall has been wonderful! I’m sitting at my desk looking at our journal right now.
So, here I am with an update. I’m sure you were all on tenterhooks (all 3 of you) to see what I’d say next. Sorry about the long wait. I will admit, I even though was pretty busy (as you will read), the hiatus is mostly due to slow internet. It was nearly impossibly to upload pictures at my old place, which I’m pretty sure I’d mentioned before.
Old place? Yes! We have moved! But not, as we had hoped for so long, away from Texas. That is for another post. Our new place is just outside of town on a little under 10 acres.
Other than that, what else has happened to us since 2019? Here’s a quick list, but some of these will be their own posts later:
- moved
- visited Michigan 7 times
- survived a pandemic
- seen all of New England in one week
- began to homeschool full time
- survived the end of Legacy Academy
- returned to choir
- kids joined choir and orchestra
- several concerts including the girls’ first symphony
- changed music studios
- resurrected crochet club and MEK
- taken on renters
- added two in-laws on the Hamilton side
- added two nieces to the family
- got my first smart phone
- took a hiatus from news
- discovered you tube and podcasts
There have been other adventures, but these are the ones that stick out to me right now. Look forward to telling you more about them!
