The Journey Continues.....

Well, well.......we meet again! Hahahaaa! I feel the need to apologize for the HUGE gap in my writing....I could bore you a million reasons as to why.....but that seems like a serious waste of my time and yours. And if you are taking time out of your precious day to read this, I respect you way too much to bore you with the details! :)

The journey continues.....

Our family is quickly approaching the sweet completion of the school year. To many, this might not seem like a noteworthy event; but to our family, it is quite the transition. My husband will now be home on a regular basis.....which both excites and terrifies me in the same breath. Truth be told, he is gone. A LOT. Rehearsals(band, choir, jazz band, musical), performances, extra-curricular meetings and events occupy his time throughout the school year. In fact, our joke is that he lives at school more than he lives at home! Because he gone so much, the girls and I have developed and follow what seems like a seamless daily routine......but it doesn't necessarily include Doug.

That being said, he will now be around a lot more.....and the girls, especially Amelia and I, are about to get a  non-intended rude interruption to our daily routine. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to have Doug home more.......it is just the transition period that is a bit difficult to navigate. And it seems like just as we are getting comfortable and content with Doug being home, we start the process of preparing for Doug to leave again as he starts a new school year.

So I am stating this goal: to make every attempt to ENJOY the transition to and from summer vacation.

Far too often, I am a bit cranky during transition time. It is the CHANGE that I struggle to embrace. My brain tends to focus on the kinks of transition, as I'm sure many of you can understand. It is my goal to embrace the change, and enjoy the difference in having Doug home. Cherish the all-too-short summer and make every effort to enjoy having my husband back.

Love you, honey!
