Fresh Out?

I’m having a hard time with the whole blogging thing. I don’t know what to say anymore. If I wanted to merely just update you on what’s been happening in the last few months it would sound a lot like this…


We sleep, we work, we study, we workout, and then we sleep some more.

The lack of excitement in our lives is definitely starting to pull thin. However, if I were to update you on my family it would sound like this…

Buying a house, getting married, getting a new job and moving closer to home, having a new baby, landing your dream job after graduating school, or even turning 16.

I’m definitely a little jealous. I wish I had things to say. I wish I felt like I wasn’t merely treading water. I can gush and gush about the excitement of adopting, but until we get that call, it still feels kind of like a dream.

So I struggle with what to say, because what do you want to hear?

I can’t eloquently describe in words how much I know my life is pretty great. I know I’ve been blessed beyond measure and that there is reason in all things. I know we haven’t added a child to our lives yet because we had a lot of things to figure out and learn first. I know that a baby will come when the time is right and it’s not right for us right now. I know that we haven’t purchased a home because we don’t know where we want to live forever yet and we are still unsure of where home is some days. I know we are still college students because we slacked for a very long time. I know things are just right for us and life is pretty great. Heavenly Father is definitely mindful of us and it took some time for us to realize that and understand that time is a very vague thing.

I can describe the beautiful sound the rain makes as it sloshes to the ground outside my window at 3am and how the puddles glisten in the breaking dawn. I can tell you that I might as well live in Portland or Seattle because of all the rain we’ve received, but who really wants to hear about the weather?

And then there’s my crafting… I’m not nearly as good as half of the other crafting bloggers out there. In fact, most of my projects and ideas come from these stellar women. Most of my projects are thrown together too quickly and they just don’t turn out quite as planned so why share them.

I could blog about my weight loss, but is that something you want to read? How I sweat until I can’t sweat anymore. How I lifted five more pounds each exercise yesterday? How I ran and ran and ran until my knees ached and I couldn’t run anymore. How I might as well be starving myself because counting calories sucks. That wouldn’t be very exciting, in fact, probably more depressing as I’m only averaging a pound a week.

So what to blog about?

I’m fresh out for now.
