We're still here!

It's dark and rainy over here!  Karlyn did her usual of nap for 30 minutes and then wake up.  Whatever happened to those nice long hour and a half naps? :/  All I can say is thank the Lord for our swing.  I like to call it her nap extender because whenever she wakes up like that, where I can tell she's not going to sleep 1 minute more in her bed, I can often eke out a whole other hour in the swing.

So I'm sitting in the dark not wanting to wake her, and figured now was as good a time as any to blog.  I've severely neglected it lately but most days I'm doing good to do the basics around the house and take care of said short-napper.  I hope these storms don't get a lot worse!

I had a lovely first official Mother's Day.  It was also a crazy busy weekend filled with family get-together's AND Karlyn's baby dedication at church - which is actually more of a parent dedication!  She looked super cute in her plaid and green dress and bright fuschia hair bow.  Ryan also got me  a cute card and a James Avery charm bracelet with one charm: "MOM" spelled out vertically.  I love it!  He didn't have them attach it yet though so I've been wearing it on a silver necklace chain.  I kinda like wearing it that way too and I'm torn between the necklace or bracelet option.  My bracelet is really pretty though.  It's this one.

What else have we been up to?  We've got just over 2 weeks left at work of WALK ACROSS TEXAS, which is a good thing.  I'm losing steam and although I always feel better after a workout, I'm looking forward to not having the pressure of not letting my team down with low miles. . .It's hard to find the time with a baby!  Even 30 minutes - 30 straight minutes.

On Saturday I went to a Holistic Health Fair.  I'm a nerd and had been really excited about it ever since I saw the flyer at my hair dresser's of all places.  It was pretty cool!  I took Karlyn in her stroller (it was indoors) and we walked around and chatted it up with different vendors.  There was chiropractic care, make-up, supplements, and Smoothie King :-)  I'll admit, I did also go in hopes of possibly making some contacts.  It's not often that I hear of events going on that are in the arena of what I'm a. interested in and b. hoping to get involved with somehow.  And I came away with some possibilities!  I wish I could say more but I am sincerely hoping that SOON I'll be making an announcement about a little venture I'll be starting.  I'm excited!!  I don't know all the ins and outs yet but I do know that this seems right up my alley.  I realllly am ready to step out of my comfort zone a little and start taking steps towards my dreams and what I want to do in life.  Maybe this is it.  More to come!

Sorry for the non-exciting post.  I'm so good at blogging creatively in my head.  . . I have tons of ideas!  But they seldom make it online anymore.  Someone needs to take longer naps. ;>

***Stay tuned for hopefully some semi-exciting news next week!***
