So I just want to blog...but not sure what to blog about. There are so many things going on with me right now, it could take a while to get them all out. I guess I'll start with my mood...I'm just kind of in a rut I think. Not with God or anything like that...just I guess with life. After turning 30, whether it changed for most people or not, my life kind of changed. I'm no longer under that "I'm in my 20's" umbrella anymore. So that doesn't fly with some responces. I don't have children, I don't own a home....I just am married & work. I mean really? I just feel ready for that next stage of life but its not happening. I'm not quite sure why, I feel like I'm walking on a treadmill! My life is passing me by, I'm definately getting older, but nothing really around me has changed. Its odd. I was thinking the other day that I have not lived in one state longer than 10 years. I was born in Wyoming, moved to Denver when I was 10, then moved to VA when I was 20. I've been here 9 years now...and maybe all this is coming from the fact that I've moved every 10 years & I just am getting restless?? Who knows. Who knows why I get in moods the way I do, or why I have the thoughts I do sometimes. I just get confused & overwhelmed somedays...I guess this is one of those.

New year...New You!

So I really meant to write before 20 days into the new year...but you know how that goes! First off just wanted to update you on my year so far...we had a New Years Eve party at our house, that was super fun! Heres a picture for you:


It was was a good time! I even had confetti & balloons, and silly string! All my favorites! It was great! Then Jer's parents came into town & we went up to DC for a couple days! that was really fun too. So now that all that has happened, we are just tryin to get into the swing of things in the New Year.
So we all know that a New Year means new resolutions. I was asked what resolutions had I set...and I hadn't really set any except to do the best i could at honoring God with all of me. I know what that looks like for me, and not really going to share with you! Sorry. But another thing that I learned recently was that I had been holding on to the traditions of man rather than the commands of God. See there are so many things that I thought would have done or been in a differnt place in my life than I am right now, and often I get so caught up in the traditions of man. You know the kind that say, you get married, buy a house, and then have a baby, raise the baby, then travel with your husband after the kids are gone. So here lately God has been changing my paradym. He showed me that those were and are merely traditions of man, when in reality I should be focusing on what God commands of me. So now I'm trying to sort through what that looks like for me. What commands from God are going to be where he takes me next, you know? I know part of that means laying down those "traditions" of man.
