Designing Away

I have been having so much fun doing design work lately. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely check out my design blog here. I have many new projects in the works which I am super, super excited about. I am also starting to dabble in the corporate sector. Shhhhhh, it's kinda hush, hush right now and only in the very beginning stages but I love dreaming about the possibilities. It is going to be great. I love having this creative outlet. It's just the best.

Where have I been?

I swear it happened overnight.

I blinked and these two grew up on me.

I wish I could freeze them for just a little while to let the different stages sink in fully. I feel like I haven't slowed down enough lately and now I'm realizing how big they have gotten.

Boy & Girl - Please don't grow up too fast. I just can't handle turning around to realize that you are ten.

And the cutest story to go along with the jacket The Boy is wearing.

A few weeks ago, as we were getting dressed for church, I pulled out this jacket that I had gotten for him a while back but one that he has never worn and asked him if he wanted to wear it. He loves jackets and rushes to get ready if he knows there is a great jacket or sweater to wear. So, he got his jacket on, got all excited, pulled on the bottom of the jacket as if to straighten it out and with the biggest smile on his face said, "I look just like D, don't I?" [for those of you who may not know, D is his birth grandpa]

It was so cute. He was so proud. It totally reminds him of D and now whenever I ask him if he wants a jacket, he says, "the D jacket?"

One Day

I come here to my little blog every single day and think to myself, "self, why haven't you posted?" and I want to, I have to many pictures and so many stories that I never want to forget and I really should write down and this has been my place to do that. I even walk around taking pictures just for my blog because it would be a great post. They are all sitting here on my computer, most unedited.

Since the beginning of the year, I have been trying to focus on what is most important in my life and trying to cut out the things that I waste too much time doing (although granted some of the things I have cut out have not been a waste of time and I miss them dearly). Amongst those things, blogging became one of them. So while I think every day to write a post apologizing for my lack of posting. . .it's not going to happen. I have come to accept that when I have a few minutes I can post on the blog and if I don't, I'm not going to worry about it (obviously, right. lol).

At the same time, I don't want you to think that I have fallen off the planet. I am here and even occassionally blog hop. And one day, maybe someday I will actually get aroung to making the dozens of posts that are just dying to be posted. One day. Just not today.
