too many words.

Already behind.

Well I have good reasons, I swear!

I kept meaning to update starting last Saturday, but this whole last week got so crazy, I didn't have time to do anything besides work!

Oh yeah. By the way, I got two jobs that equal 40 hours a week (20 hours each). Yay!

It was so odd to go from having absolutely nothing going on in my life, just lazing away the summer and being bored, and the next day BOOM. I have two jobs and one freelance project with deadlines all on the same day. I can't complain, though, because it was such a blessing for everything work out so immediately. Just busy!

But now, everything has calmed down; deadlines are past and life has returned to a normal paced, regular work schedule. 

So now I can update this. I have been thinking about what to post for the last week or so and have has so many different thoughts and ideas. Have you ever had so many ideas that you become overwhelmed and decide not to post at all? That is another reason for the delay in this post. In the end, I made a promise to post and so here it is! 

So first: I have had two big adventures since my last post. Backpacking (just a one day practice run for our big trip in July) and shooting! 

***After trying to upload some pictures***

Apparently the picture uploader isn't working. So..........imagine some cool pictures of wilderness, hiking, a tent, and then me and David shooting a rifle. I guess I'll upload them later. 

Well. I know words are way more boring than pictures, but you will just have to deal with it until next time, I guess!

I have been thinking a lot lately about family and technology. It is really amazing how a family can be spread all across the country, but we can still see each other and communicate through skype, phones, email, facebook, etc....

Yet, even with all these amazing features to connect us, sometimes we forget to make the effort. I am literally the worst about this! So, I want to 1.) apologize to my siblings for hardly talking to them 2.) invite all of them to come visit me anytime!!!! and 3.) make a goal to contact at least one sibling per week and catch up on their life. 

Maybe you will join me! I am sure some of you have family or friends that you have been meaning to connect with, but haven't made the time. Just do it! Even if it's a sentence on their facebook wall or through email. It's really fun to remember and nourish our close relationships. 

life updates:

1. David started classes this week. So far so good!

2. I still need to practice the piano

3. and I still need to clean the kitchen. 

4. nothing too much in our life right now, I guess...
