I am coming to realize I am a fair-weather blogger.
I really do attempt to sit down and unload all of our moments, special days, or even if there is nothing to write about. However, when I sit down at the computer I tend to drift to other places. I read other blogs that I am following, I check facebook, I check my email, I browse my favorite stores, I check up on the lastest gossip (because I do believe everything I read), and then by the time I get back to my little blogger world I usually have a baby that is awake from her slumber. And, lets face it...she is one cool girl to play with. So, Veda wins, and I think to myself that I will get to it later...and we all know how that goes. Even so, I do try to keep whomever it is out there that may read my little entry in our loop.
So, a little rewind.....
Christmas and New Year's were wonderful. Once again, it is those true hussle and bussle moments that are almost too in depth to blog about...those are almost book chapter worthy entries. So, we will keep those moments captured in our little memory boxes in our hearts to open at our choosing. My parents were here to visit, and at a great time since Veda is having new milestones every day. It is nice for our loved ones to share in her accomplishments with us.
I have come to have a deeper appreciation for our loved ones and friends since we have moved away. I really take each visit with them to a more memorable, deeper moment. It is very easy to take for granted these individuals when you see them day in and day out. We do miss our Hoosier home, our families, our friends, the places we were raised, the country roads, the high school games, and the small town hospitality. (Bradley would probably also want me to include Pizza King and fried chicken.) So, for our family members and friends that may stop by to read into our little world...we love, miss, and think about you often.
Ok, back on track. (I do love that I can write and say whatever and however on our blog...just try to stay with me) We have been going through one big emotional rollarcoaster filled with waves of stress, excitement, heartbreak, excitement, stress, a glimmer of hope, stress, etc... We are house hunting! I feel bipolar during this process. poor bradley! It has been crazy. We have found one and put in an offer for it. It is a quaint little home on a cul-de-sac. It has a fenced in yard for the dogs, a pool for Bradley and my mom (who has requested we find something before she comes to Veda watch while we are in the Caribbean), and it also needs some major touch-ups. I am actually excited about all the work that needs to go into it. We can make it ours in every sense. Keep your fingers, toes, arms, legs, and everything else crossed for us. I would say prayers too, but I feel those may by needed for others during this time.
So, as I lay in bed with my sweet husband sleeeping next to me and Veda in dreamland in the other room, I can't help but think that I have to be the luckiest girl in the world.
Sleep tight everyone.
Until next time, next week, next month....
Oh, and GO COLTS :)
