Hi.... my name is Joey and I used to blog.
Somewhere along the way I just stopped doing it. Maybe having two little boys that consume so much of my time did it to me. Maybe trying to cram a full time job into part time hours did it to me. Maybe the "pressure" of trying to run a household, keep a job, be a wife, and raise some boys did it to me. Maybe some discontent in my heart caused my "want to" to quit on me. Not sure.
But a year and a half later, I feel a change coming on. Which is funny, because I think that blogging isn't really "fashionable" anymore. It seems to have been largely replaced by Facebook, Twitter, etc. And I'm guilty of using Facebook to pseudo-blog. But now.... change is coming. My mother is dying of lung cancer. My boys are now 2 and 3 and growing and talking and going tee-tee and poopie on the potty (at least part of the time!) My husband is still his awesome self but we have gone through a very weary and rough season. And we are both longing for mountains, and feel pulled there. For now, we're still in small town Texas and are trying to appreciate and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us, but I feel a greater and greater longing for higher elevations, cooler weather, and fresh air.
I'm also approaching my 40th birthday. I've still got nearly 7 months until the big milestone, but I'm feeling more reflective lately, and something about saying that I'm almost FORTY has got me really pondering my life. Maybe I'll post my ponderings. Maybe not. We'll see.
Here are my sweet little monkeys. They bring more love, joy, frustration, anger, and happiness to my life than I ever thought possible!
