My long-lost diary!

I can’t believe it’s been a couple years since I wrote in here. I also can’t believe I remember my password.

Anyway, I’m thinking of picking my diary back up. I have a wordpress blog that I’ve been keeping up with, but I miss the community here…the only people who ever stumble on my blog are people I already know, and there doesn’t seem to be at all of a way to meet new people there. Plus, I miss some of my faves (or I guess now we’re calling them friends, not faves?).

So I think I’m going to cross-post between here and my blog, and see if that works. The other thing that kind of sucks about the blog is that it feels way more public, since people who know me read it. So I think I’ll save the more personal stuff for here.

I suppose I should catch up a bit. I think I’ll do bullet points…

– My little girl is 2 1/2 now! She’s the smartest, sweetest, most beautiful girl in the entire world (in my 100% unbiased opinion ). She makes me laugh all the time, and just has the best little personality. I could go on and on about how awesome she is, but I’ll try to restrain myself!

– I’m still staying home with her, which is working out great. You know those maternal instincts I was worried I might be missing? Turns out I was worried for no reason. Being a stay-at-home mom feels like the most natural job in the world to me.

– I’m back in school. It’s going great, which is a pretty big shock to me, since I’ve always been pretty bad at school. So I don’t know what the difference is this time around, but for whatever reason I’m just having a much easier time with it.

– Still married. Not a whole lot to report on that front (which is a good thing, since things to write about usually = drama of the bad sort).

– Having some serious family turmoil surrounding my sister, who had a severe psychotic break and is now living in a group home. It’s been really, really hard on my mom, and as my mom’s main source of support (not to mention my sister’s best friend) it has been hard on me as well.

– Still living in Vermont. It’s nice here, I have some friends, but it’s not home. I’m praying and praying that we can find a way to move back home and be near my family.

– Speaking of praying, I finally found a church that I absolutely love!! My daughter and I were both baptized a couple months ago. I can’t get enough church at the moment, I’m just really hungry for everything spiritual.

Hmm, I think that’s about it. It’s hard to sum up 2 years in a few sentences!
