WOW. Just when I think it's been a while since I've blogged, I log in and see that is has almost been a year. A YEAR!
Life has changed immensely since this time last year.
In a nutshell:
Best Friend J had a baby in July
Best Friend J (other one) moved to Texas in August
Grandma Peg passed away in September
Went on vaca to see J in Texas in October/November
Met a guy in November
Started coaching club volleyball in December
Began dating this guy (T) in December
Best Friend R had a baby in December
and that was just 2012!
The funny thing is, I can't do a month-by-month update for 2013.
January, February, March, and now April have been filled with all the things that took place in 2012.....volleyball, work, boyfriend, work, volleyball, best friend(s), work, volleyball, etc....
Volleyball is almost over though....and while is it bitter sweet to see it come to an end, I am so looking forward to getting my life back. Having a set 2 nights/week automatically full from practice is just a lot to lose while working full time. (I know this is likely better preparing me for when my future children play sports and take up all the evenings, but wow....been a good learning lesson.)
Honestly...I feel like I have been short-changing everything collectively in my life, because of how much I have on my plate right now. I no longer see my best friend on a weekly basis, because of how much church I have missed due to tournaments. I feel like my boyfriend gets "whatever free time is left at the end of the day/week." (THAT'S NOT HEALTHY) It has been a long time since I have had a great, deep conversation with my mom...who is one of my best friends.
Bottom line....I'm spent.
The highlight of 2013 so far? Going to Cancun for 6 days, then Florida for 4. It was EXACTLY what I needed. Time to kick back, relax, and truly rejuvenate my batteries. I didn't realize just how burned-out I was, until I spend 5 of 6 days laying on the beach, reading books, and just relaxing.
Blech....didn't realize how much I needed to just spill my guts about some things. Maybe this blogging thing really is good for my mind and soul.
NOW...I just need to find and make the time to do this more regularily.
SO...until next time, hasta luego (told you I loved Cancun!)
