I have been going back and forth for months, trying to decide if I should just close my blog, or try to update it more often. It's a constant source of guilt that I haven't been keeping it up. Kameron and Brenner have all these great memories blogged and printed into books. Then Micah comes along and... (crickets).
Every day I think, I need to get on there and do some blog posts. So many significant things have happened in the past year, but for some reason, it overwhelms me just thinking about trying to get caught up. I feel like I'm a terrible mom if I don't continue with it, I want the boys to have those memories in print for them to read someday, but I just have to face reality that I can't right now. And I'm tired of constantly feeling bad that I haven't kept it up.
In this phase of life, we just have way too much going on and I need to just take it off my plate. 2013 was a big year with Micah being born, having to say good bye to Barrett and just all the life that has happened!
So here is a snapshot of what is going on with us right now and will hopefully provide insight into why I can't keep this up!
Travis is working full time, going to school full time, leading a men's group that meets once a week and applying and testing for firefighter jobs.
I have started working part time and mostly from home, homeschooling Kameron in Kindergarten, trying to raise 3 young boys, managing our house, and am going to be leading a portion of our Children's ministry at church temporarily.
We are also involved with our small group that meets once a week and either going to be selling or renting out our house in the immediate future.
So it's just a lot. Then trying to just do normal life in there somewhere... be married, be parents, be friends, be family... :)
So I will leave this post up for a while so people see it, and then will be closing my blog. :( I'm so sad, but maybe when life slows down a little, I will pick it back up!
