Buffy's Blog

I know my blog has been pretty neglected for months, however, I made a header and it's name is Buffy's Blog. Ha ha! I'm not a professional blogger, but I want my blog to be an outlet for me, creative or otherwise, and to reflect more of me than just being a Mom, etc. etc. I was dubbed "Buffy", I hope affectionately, by a neighbor friend in high school and it stuck. Buffy was me before marriage, before kids, and it represents a time when I didn't have any labels per se, but was just living life and figuring out who I wanted to be. I guess that still applies today...on second thought, yes, it definitely still applies today. :)

Summer 2010

Summer is really going by quickly, isn't it? I love it- the long, sunny days, or even better, a warm summer storm. Grilling, family, and friends. This 4th of July was so far my favorite holiday of the year! Jason is busy, busy which for us is a great thing! He loves to work in his yard and we love to watch everything bloom and grow.

Lately I keep getting drawn back into the past, feeling almost homesick for those days. Then I remind myself that someday, these are the days I'll be longing for and so it brings me right back to the present. Change is difficult for me, I want to keep all the good things just as they are. I guess I'm just a sentimental fool :)

Embrace It

I hope that wherever I am in life, whatever the circumstances, that I will be in that moment and embrace it. Things will change soon enough. For better or worse, this moment will never come again.

What is going on with life

Everything feels like a struggle right now in every area of my life. I don't want to bore anyone with the details. Not much good for blogging right now.

Patch of Moon

Believe it or not there are advantages to being up in the wee hours (about 4 a.m.) and having your blinds back ordered for six weeks. I brought Wyatt out to the family room to rock him, and the moon was so bright and full that the light came through the window. He crawled down onto this perfect patch of moonlight with his blanket and just sat there. Since it's kind of hard to photograph a moment like that I thought I'd share it so I could remember how beautiful it was.

New Home

This is our new home. We want to thank the people that helped us move, especially Jeff Brown, our brother-in-law. He went above and beyond helping Jason with the majority of the big stuff that first night. The following day several members of Jason's family and my Mom and brother Chris helped us and we cannot express our gratitude enough. Family is so important- we don't know where we'd be without you. We love you!

Goodbye Old Home

We have lived in this home for just over 7 years. It was our first home and we have done a lot with it. We are moving this weekend. I find it is a bittersweet experience as we have had many good memories here. Goodbye old home, and thanks for the memories.
