Just a Small Update

June 12, 2015

Man, I got this new blog all set up and then proceeded to go silent. I know I say this several times a year, but sometimes I just feel like my life is not interesting enough to write about. Definitely not on a daily basis, usually not on a weekly one either. So I just don’t post anything at all. Which is a shame, because I think looking back, it will be interesting to read about the every day, mundane stuff, not necessarily the big events (ahem, adoption). We generally don’t have trouble recalling the exciting things, but real life happens in the monotony of every day stuff, and when you don’t really keep a record of it, the small things can be hard to remember.

I’ve been feeling  perpetually behind on things. Cleaning, organizing, even running errands to get stuff done. I have a to-do list every week that I’m usually pretty good about completing, but lately things have been left on there for weeks, and it’s driving me crazy. Not really something I want to blog about every week. And have you ever noticed that the more behind you get, the less you feel like actually doing something about it? Is that just me? I’m losing motivation quickly here. The beautiful weather isn’t helping either. What I really want to be doing is gallivanting around outside doing fun things.

Our adoption is moving along slooooooooowly. It feels like we’re at a snail’s pace here. But that’s only because there is nothing for us to do but wait. And wait. It’s looking more and more like we won’t travel this summer. Hopefully we’ll get there in the fall. We’ll see. We appreciate your prayers.

So, that’s my update on life. Hopefully it’s not too much of a bummer. I promise to be back soon with something a little more uplifting ;).

    I love reading about “mundane” life from other peoples perspectives! it’s what makes up the majority of our time here on earth, and I think there is so much to be learned from it! So please, post about your life:) Because I miss you! and I hope things will move along more quickly!

      Aw, Carrie Berry, thanks! I love reading about other people’s mundane lives too :). Mine seems extra mundane and not very noteworthy (blog-worthy). I miss you too! Maybe we could all try to meet up at Laura’s in the fall? Or even Christen’s??

Every six weeks we take a week completely off of s Every six weeks we take a week completely off of school. Last week was our week. ❤️ And even though I thrive on routine and a schedule, getting up early to leisurely read my Bible for an hour with a latte in hand was the reminder I needed to slow down and listen to what He has to say to me.

So I did what any reasonable person would do and told him I had no interest in dating him 🙈. To his credit, he just continued to be the very best friend to me. Until I decided enough was enough and told him in a very cryptic and roundabout way that I liked him. He responded by standing up and walking out my back door 😂. Against those odds, we’ve made it all these years. He’s still the funniest, kindest person I’ve ever known. And I still have the biggest crush on him.
We paused our history unit on the US Constitution We paused our history unit on the US Constitution to learn about Martin Luther King, Jr. on #mlkday. We watched a read aloud of I Am Martin Luther King and did some writing about his legacy. But we spent most of our time talking. They had lots of really good thoughts and ideas and questions and I sat and listened and answered. What a privilege to not only teach them, but learn alongside them. It was a good day.
