Here I sit with too much time pondering about what to do with the time that I am wasting. The decided thing to do is to blog. Then comes the question, "What on earth do I blog about?" Nothing happens in our life worth blogging. I'm not saying that our life isn't worth talking about because we do stay busy, but it is always with the same old things that I always blog about. Instead of blogging, I just go to everyone else's blog and read about their exciting lives, and also time is wasted on Facebook looking at other people's lives. People that I hardly ever talk to or that I haven't seen in forever. So many engagements, pregnancies, and trips to halfway across the world. I can say that I obviously am not engaged, DEFINITELY NOT pregnant (and right at the present, don't really want to ever be again, but that will probably change), and we can only dream of going on vacations across the world.
Now after naming all the things and think that nothing else in my life is exciting...I am completely wrong. After a day in my life of happy smiling kids one minute and whiney, crying, ornery kids the next. After having a runaway 17 year old, having my husband doing all he can to take care of our family (Thank you soooo much honey!!!) and taking care of more than his share. After working all day on the computer to figure out how to make an online presentation and learning so much about different programs on the computer it is awesome! After sunshine for 1/4 of the day and clouds and rain the rest of the day. After going on walks and having a dog follow us home...and so many more things, who can't say our life isn't exciting? No, maybe there is no big event going on in our lives or we aren't going on a trip halfway across the world, or even 1 hour away, but we do have a wonderful life full of the things that matter. We have EACH OTHER! I wouldn't trade my husband or my two precious boys for anything in the world. I believe that I need to embrace this time that we get to spend together doing what we do best. It is amazing how much joy my family brings into my life. It doesn't matter where we are or what we are doing, as long as we are together, I am happy!

I often feel that the only thing going for me is my family, thank goodness they are eternal! If you are bored one day, we should meet up for a walk, I think we are living pretty close to each other these days! Just a hop and a skip over the fields!
You always have such sweet thoughts. I feel the same way when I go "blog-looking" for a long time. Sounds like you've had lots of events lately. You definitely keep busy!
Thanks for the thoughts...I could not agree more, my family is the only thing that keeps me grounded when life gets hectic...I want to get in on you and Chrissy's walk too!
