thanks friend.

so i know, i fell off the blog earth for a while. one thing you should know about me is that i have always been an all or nothing type girl. i either do something all the way, or i don't want to do it at all. so that is why blogging and i have a love hate relationship. i love doing it and it makes me feel better, but i often don't make it a priority when things get crazy in my life. so then when i didn't do it for a little while, i thought to myself, i'm not doing good at this, and then i just stopped. i know my reasoning is dumb.

i have been trying to break the all or nothing habit for years now. in some ways it serves me well, but in other situations it leads to my destruction. it causes me to give up on alot of things in my life that i should keep pursuing.

so why am i back?

a friend told me she missed my blog. i haven't always been the greatest of friends to this girl so i thought i owed her another shot, and a better one at that. thanks for the encouragement, and for letting me realize that even though i might not be the best at blogging, you enjoyed it. and that is what it should be for me, enjoying, not a competition to be my best.

dang you competitive self.

sorry for the delay

so i took some days off. last week was harder than i thought it would be. it was the second week of Zachary's new shift and us not seeing eachother. i thought the second week would be easier, it was harder. i made it through it though and we had a good weekend in tulsa with family. i took today off so we could spend some much needed alone time together before he went to work at 3pm.

even though this adjustment is hard, it has been really good for our relationship. we are much more intentional with our time, and it is forcing both of us to really learn how to love eachother better. we have been getting more creative and putting more effort into our relationship and it has really been fun.

it involves napkins
