Senti-mental

I've cried like 5 times today. Not sad cries, just good cries probably due to the flux in my hormonal levels (not prego, normal). Anyway. I cried listening to general conference (a couple times), cried at the end of the movie "Sandlot", cried as I packed up Mia's room, cried during "Losing it with Jillian"... Anyway, the common denominator being- change. My kids growing up, moving, thinking about where I am and where I want to be, being extremely grateful for where I am, who I'm married to, my life, my family. You always dream about what your life will be like and there's no way I could have predicted how absolutely good it is. I've totally surpassed all expectations I ever had for myself. Funny, when you dream you leave out all the hard parts- but those are what make it good, make us stronger, sculpt us into who we want to be. If you haven't noticed, I haven't been blogging as much. When I turned 30 I was going through a lot mentally- trying to figure out if I was old or young. Trying to figure out where the time went. Trying to prove to myself I'm still young, I've still got it. I started working out regularly, playing soccer, running over 5 miles every Saturday. I still do that, but it's not my focus anymore. And now I can enjoy it, which has been nice. I think I'm ready to blog again. I promise not to be so serious all the time. I've just started thinking a lot, which is new for me, so it got me kinda serious, but I'll throw some brainless wonders out before you know it. That is if I have any readers left. Hi mom.

BTW- just moving to a different house like 2 streets away- not anything life altering like Qatar (ahem,Jared!) just bigger and better!!! Fabuloso! Fantastico! Now if only I had some enchiladas... I digress.

My 30-year old brain recently decided that once you've got it, you've got it forever. And Alyssa, you've GOT IT! Loved the post.

I don't even know you yet and I'm glad you're blogging again. You make me laugh, cry and want to be a better person all at the same time. It's a scary site! Thanks for the directions to that place in Engelberg. We plan to make a trip up there soon. Are you still coming in August? I would love to say hi in person!
