So yeah
I didn't get better at blogging this year like I'd hoped. I may have actually posted less this year that I did last year. :p Life has gone on. It's been a harder one for sure, but yeah, still breathing! It's not like I have nothing to say. More like I don't know where to start. Sadly, I don't feel awesome at the moment, so I might have to come back with a plan or idea. Right now I think I'm going to go cuddle with some monkeys, close my eyes and dream of my J. :D

she lives
Hola blogger friends!
I'm just checking in! I know, I know - it's been awhile. There are so many good things on the horizon though that I think I just may start finding time to sit at my desk and share a little more. Between upcoming vacations (of epic proportions!), cool and exciting changes at work and training for the Other Half Marathon (13.1 miles eek!) I may just find myself with things to say that are worth sharing. Plus my first grandbaby (Brandon & Christy are excited!) is due in October and Kirsten is turning 16. Fun stuff! :)

Brandon & Christy
I have decided to post pics from Brandon's wedding in Montana here instead of on facebook for the most part. I don't love that everything you post on facebook becomes their property. My pictures are mine. I also don't love when people steal images (yes that's right, when you right-click on a picture someone else took and copy it you are stealing. It's not nice.) I'd say yes if people asked, I just prefer that they do. Brandon and Christy, you of course can copy anything you want, and Robin, I have an understanding with you too. ;) lol
It was an awesome weekend, I loved being able to see my oldest monkey so happy and enjoyed every minute I spent with them. I love 'em to pieces, and wish 'em the absolute best.
And there are lots more pics, including more shots of all the family who came and the drive through yellowstone. I just wanted to get a few up here for them before I head to work.
...and the pics are bigger than the blog, but I don't have time to fix it. Oh well. :p

baby it's cold outside
I'm past ready for this winter to be officially over. It's been so cold here it's made the walk to work every night something I seriously dread. On the upside, when it's as bad as it was today it gives Maiah and I the excuse to hide under the covers and watch a million episodes of Blues Clues. I'm all for hibernation!

2012
Whoa, all of my posts for 2012 fit on the front page of my blog- there were like 6 of them. o.O
I'm so sorry that I spent the year in quiet mode. That's how I deal when things get rough, and it was that kind of year. The divorce is now final, and while it's sad I really do feel like it was the healthiest thing I could do for myself & my family. It hasn't been easy, but it will be a good thing. I've learned how to let go of all kinds of hurt. People who'd been unkind, ungracious, mean or ungrateful toward me have received absolutely none of my energy. I'm trying really hard to focus on the things that matter, and surround myself with people who care. I don't have a lot of real friends, but the ones I have are precious. I'm hoping to write more this coming year, and to pick my camera back up. This is still my favorite place to share. It's mine, and I like it that way. :)
Happy New Year!

Trying
...to wake Kirsten up to go running
...to get into some sort of sleep schedule that works so I can function enough for my kiddos and still work enough hours. And have a little me time. I miss being able to play more. I seriously miss my friends.
...to reassure Maiah that when I leave the house it's not for forever. She has such a hard time when I leave for work every night. She's so sweet, and I'm really worried about her in the upcoming months - well really for the rest of her life. I don't want the divorce to cause her issues (truthfully, probably already has) and am really trying to find ways to reassure her and show her how important she is (all my monkeys are) to me as the changes start happening. I'm grateful that Vern & I get along well enough to have taken things slowly, but it's time for some of the big changes, and for the reality of how things are going to be to set in. Crossing my fingers and praying something fierce for the sake of my monkeys.
...to show all of the important people in my life what they mean to me. When stuff gets hard I go into this internal mode. I just deal, you know? Really don't want to shut people who matter out of my life just because I'm having a moment.
...to wake Kirsten up! Been trying since just after 5. C'mon girl! It's only gonna get hotter the later it gets.
...to save. To move. To save for the move. Yeah.
...to get to where I can run for as long as I used to before having to walk a minute. It's frustrating to lose something like that. December 1st will come fast enough, so I must keep running. And Lauren, hope you've started! lol :)
...to feel strong. And find my confidence. And find some pudding. Yeah, pudding.
...Okay, I need to go do something to get that girl moving. We could be halfway done with our miles by now.
