Why I’ve Been “Quiet”

I haven’t posted in awhile because, as you know, we’ve moved.  We moved on May 29th to our new house in Beaverton… right next door to Laura Vandergiessen (well… Clint and the boys too… but they don’t have blogs for me to link to, so they’re really not as important in this post).

I hope you can forgive me for not keeping up with my Worship Confessionals, floating thoughts, family updates and most of all, not showing my spastic self all up in here for your entertainment.  I so do love entertaining… but due to recent happenings, I really felt/feel I needed to hone in on my family and our home.

Brian and I have been working ALMOST round the clock to make our new house a home.  I’ll post pictures soon (What???  I’ve posted pictures of every single other house we’ve ever lived in… why would this be different?). When we’re not working on the house (unpacking boxes, hanging pictures, painting rooms, etc.) we’re working on us.  THAT part of “home” is the most important and has been long neglected.

I have mistakenly spent way too much heart on things that I THOUGHT were important to me… when the only things that ever really REALLY mattered to me were always RIGHT in front of me – Brian & my family.  I’m thankful for second chances.  I’m not gonna pass this one up.

Neither should you!

Go snuggle up and tell him/her/them you love them RIGHT NOW.

And don’t just “SAY” it… LIVE IT!
