It's been a while...

Wow, I haven't posted anything since July 2012, and it's now January 2014!! My life just got so busy and other interests took priority over blogging. But I have to say, looking back through my posts, I am really sad I stopped! Eventhough mostly only myself, family, and a few friends read my blog to begin with, it was for me, for my family, and a nice journal photobook. My friend Alex is the one who got me into blogging in the first place, and I love how diligent she is about it. She prints out her books, and it's something really special she has now. I love looking back at all the pictures I posted of Jayna and what I had to say about her. I do keep a personal journal on ldsjournal.com. I have one I sometimes write in as well at home. I used to be a very great journal writer, I have many filled journals that start at age 8. I have a book I write in about Jayna that I started before she was born, but I find the entries are further and further apart even though I think about it often, it's hard to get around to writting in it! I had a pregnancy journal with Jayna, and now I have one for my baby that I've been diligent in writing in every week. So....even though my blog has been neglected, my life is still recorded else where, but definately not as much as I would like. There are so many things I wish I wrote about that I know I will forget! I've really gotten into my etsy shop littlejoycreations.etsy.com and that has kept me so busy with my free time, and then there is my photography and new editing software I bought this summer, along with my new camera, singing, knitting, crafting, being a mother to a toddler, and moving every 8 months to somewhere else in Canada, and just everyday life and all that comes with that. I made a decision to not keep up with blogging, because it does take time. TIME! What to do with our time? I find I don't have enough time to do all the things that I want, and now being 30 weeks pregnant, I know my time will be even less to do all the things that I want! I feel like it will be really hard for me. Like right now, it's 9:22 pm, and Jayna is sleeping, Andrew is 3 hours away with his Vivint crew on a selling trip, so I have the place to myself and free time to do whatever the heck I want. But I know, in a few months, add another tiny human being to this scenario, and time... free time is more a thing of the past. However, I feel in my heart I will embrace it, and dive in with both feet to being a Mother to two children. Life is interesting indeed. It demands selflessness. Otherwise, you are just constantly frustrated, because you can't do it all... I cannot forsee what life will be like in a few months, if it will be like I think it will. I have a few worries, but when I sit back and think about the big picture I know what is most important, so the hobbies I love so much may have to wait until I have more...time.
