I needed to just settle in and get a good Christian, wife, and mommy routine down.
My typical life is chaos right now. I don't have a laundry routine, I don't have a day to day routine, I don't even have a wake-up time or a goodnight time. CHAOS. CRAZY. HECTIC. And this greatly bothers me. I want to not dwell on having a good blog post or taking pictures for my blog posts but rather live in the moment of being a mommy. I know there are bloggers out there who have a good routine in place and can take pictures without taking away from mommy time but I'm not there yet. So why the chaos you ask? We moved. That's right--we left our much loved Northwest Arkansas for a new life in Northeast/Central Arkansas as youth pastors. We are loving our job as youth pastors but still settling in in all other aspects. Right now we are living with my wonderful in-laws--which has been another adjustment. It's a challenge to move from your own almost 1,300 square foot house into two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a couple of kitchen cabinets, but we are grateful to have a place to live here while we get settled into jobs and deciding where to live. Lockland has started at a wonderful school here in Batesville that i ABSOLUTELY love. The progress we have seen since he started is absolutely surreal. He can now drink out of a cup and jump with TWO feet off the ground. He also sings his ABC's and my "No more monkey's jumping on the bed" just to name two. Lila Mae has regressed sleep wise but other than that is a happy, learning little girl. She finally, at 15 months, hit 20 pounds so she is still mommy's itty bitty. Perhaps the biggest adjustment this far has simply been that Keith is working two jobs. He is a youth pastor "part time" (any of you involved in youth ministry no that there is no such thing as part time, ha) and WalMart associate full-time. It has been hard on this momma to see less of her husband but we know we are in God's will for our lives and still VERY happy. Okay, I'm done with this long post now. It's hard to catch everyone up on 7 months of missed life. Hopefully as I settle into my new normal, I will be able to follow my blogging dream to it's full potential.
