Enough is Enough

I have too much going on. Too much to keep up this blog. It makes me sad. I used to love it so much. Now, my time is with other things and keeping it up has become too hard. Life is moving forward at a much quicker pace than I like. I want it to slow down. The school year is nearly over already and it's time for our Summer to begin. I think it was just January, yesterday. How can it be? I know how- it's called organized chaos and 4 children. I will try again if things change around here. There is much to say, that's for sure, just not enough time and dedication to keep it up for eyes to see on this. Plus, I am pretty sure not many people are following along anyway. And that is okay too. This is more for us, so I can publish a book each year about our life. I am behind by 2 years. I will likely not catch up.
So, bye for now. Follow me on my photography page or on Facebook. Much love.

January

Well, January is now over. Can't say I miss it. It was cold. So cold in fact, that my children could barely attend school, therefore, spent more time at home. This is not terrible, but more challenging than you would think. Having to fix more food, since they are home and not eating at school, having to "entertain" in ways other than 1000 movies, is hard. Not that fun, either. It seems we did a lot of sitting around. We all read books, played games, baked treats, and drove each other a little crazy. But, we made it through.
Now, it's February, and guess what?! It's still so cold and snowy, we have had more calamity days! No end in sight, either! Yay!
All kidding aside, it is good here. We are so blessed. We have a great home, filled with love and warmth. No one is sick here. Germs are spreading, but nothing we can't handle. I am getting a better grip on this gluten free life. Everyone else is adjusting. I have gotten to catch up with some old friends, and begin new friendships too. I was recently called as the Primary President in our ward here. That itself is a tad daunting of a task, but I am doing it. So far, so good....ask me again in a few months, days or even weeks!
Valentine's Day is fast approaching, so in good spirits, I set my girls up for their own photo shoot. I will probably not post these on my photography site, for it may look like I lack clients, and use my own for business! So, enjoy these here!

Blogging once a month is just not acceptable, so I will do better. Happy February! Oh, and depending on which groundhog you follow, we will either have 6 more weeks of winter, or an early spring- I vote for the early spring!

Extended Hiatus

Nearly 3 months ago, I posted and promised I would not wait so long to post again. I lied. Sorry.

I have lots of reasons why I haven't blogged, but no real good ones.

Lazy. Busy. Not a priority. Facebook.

There, I said it.

Well, I will be better- but not as it used to be. I have a lot going on, and the purpose of this was to create a book at the end of the year each year. I have made 5 books, and now need to work on 2013. But the program I use is not so fun anymore. Well, it never was that fun, but great quality and great price, if you can take hours upon hours of time to recreate what you did when it crashes. Boo.

Another day, I suppose.

A few updates that I should mention:

2013 ended quite uneventfully-  just the way I like it.

We had an amazing holiday season. With all of our close family nearby, we got to see everyone. We even got to have Christmas all day at our house. That was my favorite. We had just my parents out for dinner and I was never so happy to not have to leave the house and spend it with those I love the most. It was near perfection.

Now it's 2014 and time for new goals and new things.

#1 Get our finances in order. Somehow in the last 6 months we have spent several thousand unaccounted for dollars. How did that happen, you ask? Well, I ask myself, since I am in charge of the money, and even I can't figure it out. It just did.

#2 Spend my time wisely. Too much distraction in my life. Need to refocus. Need to spend more time on the simple things. Less time wasting. Prioritize. Follow through.

#3 Get in gear. Keep in shape. I have lost the 10 pounds I gained when my meds weren't enough. Now it's time to stay this way and tone up. Getting right on that. Going to Zumba and weight toning. Work in progress.

That's it. 3 goals. More than that and I will fail. I know myself. Now, there are other areas I will be working on, but for this blogs' sake- this is enough for now. Thanks for hanging with me. I promise to post more often. Can't say it will be worth your precious online time to read this, but for posterity, I will  press on. I do use this as a journal of sorts, so, I will keep up. Somehow.

My new photography page is up and running. Feel free to check it out if you haven't already.

Business is just where I want it to be. Not too busy, not too slow. I like it that way.
