Back to blogging...

I'm bk...

Life got a little crazy there for a bit, so I decided to take a bit of a break from blogging.  There was so much going on, allot that I couldn't post or wasn't ready to post, so I thought best to take a vacation.

Here's a brief over view of the last few months:
  • Sick in hospital right after Christmas w/stomach junk
  • Lots of testing and money for tummy junk
  • Pretty decent bill of health from Dr.'s bout tummy, just new meds and follow up over the next few months
  • Visiting Taylor Fam & Florida
  • Working lots of over time
  • Ben job searching...which he was doing for bout a year
  • House still for sale, no bites...lower house price...think we're in contract...fell through
  • Travel to Arkansas/Memphis area for job interview for Ben--turned into a nice lil vaca
  • Turn down job in AR
  • Working lots of over time
  • I traveled to CA to visit w/friends & help Alana w/wedding stuff bout 2 months ago
  • I traveled CA again to see g-parents and parents & friends again (for short visit)
  • Ben took a new job in Ulysses, KS--a hour southwest of us
  • Last 3 weeks-current...
    • Ben living in hotel  during the week, returning home to Cimarron on weekends to see me
    • Ben looking for rental house for 3 weeks & finally finding one this week, getting keys tomorrow
    • Ben working long long hours & new job playing catch up and getting ready for upcoming business of "farming life"
    • Me working lots of overtime
    • Me getting ready to move into rental w/co-worker in Jetmore (near work) during the days that I work and then going to Ulysses to see Ben on off days
    • House still for sale, reducing price again, considering long term renters
    • Today, spent crazy hours shopping for Ben & new rental place and cleaning up house in Cimarron

That is all just a "summary" of the last few months. During all of this, life has definitely been throwing in lots of "growing pains."

My life lessons learned through all of this...
  • Life is extremely short and valuable!
  • Live life as simply as you can
  • Do what makes you happy, even if others frown on it
  • Make sure you take the time to communicate with your partner, friends and family
  • Communication is KEY to all relationships in life!!!
  • Frequently take moments to spend time with loved ones, and doing things you love!
  • Don't stress the small stuff
  • Prayer is powerful and goes a long way!
  • Be proud of the decisions you've made and the paths that you have gone down in life.
This year has definitely been allot different than I thought it would be, still not sure if I am a fan of 2013 yet or of the year "I turned 30". 

 These last few months have been full of lots of challenges.  But, through it all, I have continually been reminded of the amazing friends and family that I have.

I am officially bk to blogging...hope you enjoy!
