Wow. I CAN'T BELIEVE it's been more than 1 year since my last post! The excuses for my absence compromise mostly of two HUGE changes in the life of my family.
Firstly would be this darling boy:
Lastly would be our new homeschool adventure!
I'm sure I'll write oodles on both subjects, but for now it's time for a different topic...
I'm 30! My self-centered and childish twenties have come and gone and all of a sudden I'm supposed to be a genUine, mature, wise, adult. Compared to the newlywed pictures on my walls and dressers I look much older, but I'm still sadly making SO MANY of the same selfish mistakes as that youthful child. So, in honor of the twangy Tim McGraw here's a list of my aspirations:
Next, and most importantly, I will place the Kingdom of God first and foremost on my priority list. Because when I take the time to allow Him in my life, everything that's TRULY important falls into place.
And lastly, I won't let inconsequential strife bother me, cuz I'm getting old and I don't have any more time to waste!
Firstly would be this darling boy:

| Here's our cramped little school room- I keep reminding myself day after day to be grateful we HAVE a school room and all the clutter can be shut away! |

"In my Next Thirty Years..."
Just like Tim, I'm hoping to REMEMBER my next thirty years. My amnesia is not due to the consuming of alcohol however, but to a serious lack of sleep... so I'm hoping to get some zzzz's in my next thirty years. Yep, that's the first goal on my bucket list- sleep.
I will find a way to control my temper. Often I wonder if our entire block is completely accustomed to my temper tantrums as they hear the crazy, frazzled, stay-at-home mom screaming about some little mess or other slight interruption of my groove. (This embarrassment has everything to do with sleep deprivation, so yeah, I need more rest!)

| Our little DD is QUITE the troublemaker. |
I will live in the moment at all times. Constantly juggling so many tasks and priorities has left me an anxious wreck. I'm constantly worrying about the next project instead of breathing in the beauty and delights of NOW.
Next, and most importantly, I will place the Kingdom of God first and foremost on my priority list. Because when I take the time to allow Him in my life, everything that's TRULY important falls into place.

Yay for the blog post! I love the glimpse into your life I get when you do a new post. You look EXACTLY the same as you did when you go married, btw. As does Bryan. So basically you guys still look like two 15-year-olds walking around with 4 kids, which I'm sure raises a few eyebrows ;-). That picture at the end is priceless...I love that little family of yours! Miss you guys!
So glad you posted! Love this. I could work on all of these things as well! Love your sweet family.
