just so ya know...

hello.

so i finally decided to give a little update and say why i haven't been blogging as of late.

i feel that sometimes i've lived a little too much of my life through a computer. although i love that i can give my friends updates on how my week is going and what's going on in my new life, i just haven't been feeling up to it lately.

this winter was particularly hard for me. (i speak in past tense because green things are growing, which means SPRING, baby!) these past couple of weeks, i've been trying to make an effort to get up, get moving, clean, run errands, be a part of a Bible study, serve somewhere, make phone calls, send birthday cards, make hummus, cook more food, study a lot, make more time for prayer, love on my husband when he's around, get a haircut, go to the dentist, go to the doctor. when you're "in a funk" or "depressed" or whatever you want to call it, the simplest things can so hard and just plain overwhelming. i haven't done everything on the list just yet, but i'm forcing myself to start doing the everyday things i've neglected since our move. i have to. blogging just hasn't felt really important, fun, or authentic in awhile so hence the rest.

hmm...

i love documenting our lives and memories. it's a lot of fun to look back on these things.... i wish i had more of a drive but i really just don't right now. so maybe i'll start up again next week. maybe it will take until i've conquered the depression 100%.... or maybe it'll be when tim and i have some kids.... i'm not sure, but for right now, i have to focus on my healing up... after a 3 month long complete lack of motivation, i have a lot to keep me busy.

i get to go home for my sister's bridal shower this weekend... and i'm really looking forward to it. then next week, my in laws are coming to visit and miraculously, i'm off the entire weekend. i pray you are all well and much love to ya.
