Where have I been?

Eight months.  Really????

I can't believe I have been gone for so long.  My life in a nutshell since January: SCHOOL!ha!  Besides that, my personal computer has been out of commission, I have been doing some traveling, going up and down on an emotional roller coaster, not prioritizing my time, and have just been busy.  Good news:  I am back, and hope to be posting weekly from here on out, that is until I take my next sabbatical:). 
February was a short exciting month!  My husband and I found out some great news that would forever change our lives that month.  We spent some time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming doing some snowboarding.  He had a few choir tours, and literally, the month was over.
March was great!!  My dad was able to come out for 11 days to spend some time with me while hubby was out of the country.  We did some exploring around the area, watched a bunch of movies, laughed, ate good food, took pictures, and I was even able to take him to NYC for the first time in his life.  We had an awesome time just hanging out, as usual:).  The end of March we up to the New England area for the choirs last tour, it is gorgeous out there!!  Looking forward to taking a few trips out there again in the future.
April, wow....April was one tough month, for the both of us.  Dealt with some devastating personal "health" issues that took at least a month to physically recover from, and emotionally....well I am kind of still dealing with.  On a brighter note, I celebrated my 24th birthday, as well as my brother's 25th.  We didn't leave home much in April, mainly because of what I was dealing with.  Glad that month finally ended.
May got better.  We celebrated my loves 33rd birthday, as well as my niece and nephew who are now 6 and 4!  The school year came to a close and with that, the craziness that is boarding academy (at least for the summer).  We took a quick trip to Chicago to visit family.  And May brought forth June.
My last complete month of Cosmetology school!  Longest month ever. HA!  We just hung around the area most of the time.  Frequenting the farmers markets every week, grilling out, swimming, enjoying our first summer spent mostly at home.  Nothing super exciting happened, at least not that I can remember, OH WAIT.... I was chosen as "Student of the Month," at school which was pretty cool.  That was about it.
July.  I had a few days off from class for the holiday, and we had planned to do something spectacular, but of course I was super sick almost the whole break I had.  Who gets sick in the summer?  Honestly, I rarely ever am sick anyways.  I graduated on July 24th, of which I am proud to place that feather in my hat. haha  We celebrated our 3 year anniversary by going to Atlantic City, New Jersey.  Came home and the next weekend was already August.
On the fifth we went down to Nashville, Tennessee for the NAD Convention.  We stayed at the Opryland Hotel, which was amazing!  I was able to visit with my brother and his family, as well as my long time friend who lives in the Chattanooga area.  I saw my 3rd grade teacher and great uncle by surprise as well.  I really enjoyed myself while we were there.  Heard some good music, ate good food, did a little shopping, and relaxed.  We are now home and today is the first day of school for hubby.  He is holding auditions all week, so I wont be seeing much of him:-/. 
Looking forward to September when I go out west for a month, and when I return I will hopefully start working again!  WOW...this year will be over before we know it.
Just a little preview of our time in Nashville.

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
