Hey guys. How’s it going?
Wait, this doesn’t seem like a typical Jinxy blog! You’re probably saying to yourself… and you’re right. I just wanted to take a second and talk to you all. While these blogs are informative and discussing things that are on my mind, sometimes they feel impersonal. More “teaching and discussion” and less “what’s going on in my life”. It’s time to throw one of those in the mix.
I’m sure you can tell from the obvious slow-down in updates I’m having a really busy summer. Not filled with exotic vacations or a hoppin’ social schedule. Just trying to work hard and keep things low-key around here. We have big plans for the next few months and I want to do everything I can to ensure it will be successful. It’s something we’ve wanted for a long time, and we’re so close to making it reality. Nothing will get in the way!!! I also reconnected with an old friend this summer. Kind of funny, actually, we’ve been living in the same town for 2+ years and just found each other again last week. I get a little teary when I think about how close we used to be (best friends from 4th grade through high school, and for a while after) and then we just dropped out of each other’s lives. She accepts and understands who I am, and she’s happy that I’m so happy with my life. THAT is the type of friend we need in our lives.
It hasn’t all been chocolates and roses though. There have been family members with health issues or conditions that need(ed) addressing. There’s the balancing act of keeping everyone happy while at the same time making sure everything is properly taken care of. And then there’s the laundry! But that’s part of life (the downside, not necessarily the laundry)… we deal with the good and the bad simultaneously. We can’t pick and choose – well, unless we’re in some sort of denial about our lives.
I believe I lead a pretty awesome life. I’m very lucky to be where I am, and even more lucky to have the best husband in the world that I love to pieces. I have some amazing friends that’d drop everything to help me out (lookin’ at you, KC!). I am very lucky.
Enough babble from me. REAL interesting blog coming next week.
Toodles!
