Chit Chat and Catching Up

So it's been awhile, a LONG while, since we've actually sat over a cup of anything and just had a chat.  I own that.  Things have seemed so overwhelming for so long, it's almost as if I forgot how to just chat about the everyday of life.  Figured I'd work on remedying that beginning here...

Saying Hey:  For those of you that blog, it has been some time since I have been able to log on and read your words.  I opened my reader today and had an overwhelming number of unread posts.  Too overwhelming to even begin to think of commenting.

I spent some time rearranging how I had it all organized in hopes of not having that happen to that extreme again, at least not if I can help it.  Time will tell.  Let me just say... I've missed you!

Work:  I will admit the transitions in our work schedules have been much more difficult to navigate than I had envisioned.  We are both thankful for the opportunities we each have, but it just operates very differently than it looked on paper.  I am finally feeling like we are beginning to settle in... now 6 months later.

Family:  The little guy is now 4.  Can you even believe it?!  Our daughter officially graduated from speech therapy and is now as tall as me.  We find ourselves right in the middle of track season again with our oldest.  He is now 16 and got his learner's permit a couple of weeks ago.  How does the time pass like that?

Unexpected:  As if we needed something else to add to our schedule, extreme pain in my shoulder found me landing in physical therapy twice a week.  Thankfully surgery is not a word being thrown around.

Commenting Here:  So far things seem to be going quite well with my transition to disqus.  I'm thinking of going ahead and sticking with it, unless I hear (or encounter) something that would cause me to reconsider.  Speak up if you have an opinion and haven't already shared.

Joining In:  It appears some of you may be recently new here.  Let me invite you to join in, at any time, with sharing your thoughts below. (Click on "join the conversation" below the "you might also like" pictures. It may take a moment to load.) Introduce yourself and let us give you an official "welcome"!

To those friends who have journeyed with me over the past year, thank you for hanging around.  It hasn't been easy but God has proven Himself faithful.  So very, very faithful!

And to those of you that are newer, thank you for stopping by and deciding to hang out with us!  May you find your heart challenged, encouraged, and growing with fresh hope in Him!

I sure enjoy having the presence of each one of you!

So, how's that for attempting a re-entry into the chit chat of every day life?  I sure would enjoy hearing about what's been happening in the everyday of your life...
