| Hmmm.... I can remember when I used to write here every week, like clock work. Was it a fad? Was I just young? Maybe my life was just more exciting than it is now. I don't know. Either way, I always forget about this thing. It seems we all have. We've all moved on to new blogs, or no blogs. Or just spying on our friends on Facebook. Isn't it wonderful. We can keep up with all the goings on of our old friends, new babies, new relationships, just another trip to the park, all of it, but without the accountability. It's all the benefits of friendship with no strings attached. I'm guilty of it too. I go onto a friend's site and peruse their pictures, read their notes, all of the above; but I don't have to take it any further. I don't have to even say "hello". That is what we have come to.
Now I don't know if it's something to panic over. It probably isn't. And I'm not saying we all need to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves, it's just an observation. Look at what we're becoming. Soon we won't even need to talk to anyone, we'll just use email or text. It's just easier that way. I know; I do it too.
That said, thanks for keeping up with me. Though I'm not sure I have anything to keep up with. Life is just all maintaining. I'm maintaining my life. It's a real treat.

| Here I sit on the couch at my grandpa's house and I see that I haven't been on here in quite a while. Not much has changed. My first year of teaching is nearing the end. It wasn't at all what I thought or had hoped it would be like. But, there was a fine amount of good to help out weigh the bad. I do hope for more good with our next group of children. Times were very rough, and I still don't see a clear end, but I am hopeful. Now we are living in West Hollywood. I feel the need to add the West in every time I write or say it. Somehow it makes me feel better for living in this huge metropolis. Sometimes I don't feel like I live in LA. Mainly it's when I have locked myself indoors with Mister and watch crappy T.V. like I did in Portland. Sometimes I can forget about how much I miss living in Portland, and all of our loved ones there. Friends and our friends' families. It has been a year since we moved down here and it seems longer. So much has happened in a year, and I feel things are still changing. This time last year I knew that our life would be different in a year, but it felt it took so long for it to get here. Now thinking of all the changes that are to come are going to come much faster. It's a roller coaster I am ready to board. We are coming up on 3 years of marriage, but it seems like our life is just starting. It is exciting and terrifying. Good luck to us, and everyone.

| This week I began a new adventure in life. I am now a preschool teacher. I am part of a program in LA that uses the tobacco taxes to provide free- low cost preschool education to children who need it. I just started on Monday, and have been so happy. Lots has changed, and lots is the same. There is still a lot unknown about what lies in the future. Now you know what I'm doing.... holla "We're going on a bear hunt..." | | |

| Peace comes in waves. Right now I feel peace about where life is headed in the next few months. I keep reminding myself that things really will be alright. It's just hard sometimes thinking beyond what is happening now. I have been enjoying life a little more than I have the last few weeks. I have received blessings I never expected, and that makes life easier. We leave for our other home at the end of April. I'm so torn now between what my life has been here, and who I am to people down there. I keep hoping I can maintain who I have become here in a completely different atmosphere. I feel like everyone here saw who I was in the beginning, and so were part of the changes I went through. But many people at home don't know the person I've become. They still believe I am the same person I always was, just a few years older. Please believe that this move isn't all fun and games for us. This place has become home for me, and it will be so hard to leave it and those who have been a part of my life. I always say I want my friends here to meet my family so they will know why I am how I am. The people here have been part of my growth and change, and to leave them is going to be leaving those people who understand who I am now, and are part of the reason I am how I am now. "Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again, it seems so far and out of sight." ~ Carol King | | |
