This is me, uninspired, as this colorful world surrounds me.
What is wrong with me!
What is wrong with me!
As you can see I haven't blogged in over a month... *gasp* Honestly, I haven't been inspired to write about anything because I feel there is nothing really extraordinary going on in my life. I'm kind of in a rut. Josh and I have both worked ourselves silly to the point of being TIRED & UNINSPIRED!
But today is a new day, right? It's actually Josh's birthday today! So here I am up early while he sleeps peacefully in bed. My plan was to start cleaning the house but after a huge cup of coffee I still haven't found the energy to start.
I think part of the reason why I've been in a rut is because I've been missing my family terribly the last month. If I feel like going to my Mom's for a home cooked meal that can't really happen unless I shovel out $500 for a plane ticket across the country. I'm starting to wonder if I can live like this for much longer.
When I first moved here I thought it wouldn't be so bad because I do have my sister up in Ogden, and at the time Josh's whole family lived close by. Well, things have changed. Everyone from Josh's family moved and scattered around the country to California, Texas, and Japan. So Josh and I both have 1 sister left in Utah, however, both of them still have all of their in-laws close by. So what happens when holidays come around? Everyone gets together with their families and me and Josh are left by ourselves. Sometimes it's nice to have it be just the two of us, but lately it feels like something is missing.
It's a good thing that Josh's sister Sara with her 3 kids are coming out to visit at the end of the month, followed by his mom, all visiting for his other sister's birthday and Mother's Day. I'm really excited! I haven't seen my 2 nieces and nephew in at least a year if not more. I hope they remember me!
I'm also looking forward to my mom and dad coming out to visit in July for a few weeks. It's always nice to see them. I wish they would just move out here already! I worry because they are both getting older and they tell me about all of these health problems they are going through and it scares the crap out of me... because I know if anything were to happen I couldn't be there right away to help :(
Anyway, I need to start doing some projects soon to feel like myself again. I woke up yesterday and couldn't get back to sleep because I kept thinking about all of the things I want to do around the house. For instance, I want to paint! Pretty much every room needs it. I also want to DIY a headboard for our bed. Make it all cushioned with buttons. Also I need to clean out the 2nd bedroom and make it more of an office/bedroom instead of an office/storage room.
Annnnnnnd Josh and I are planning a road trip to Seattle for Memorial Day weekend in May! We recently reconnected with his Aunt Cindy through Facebook who lives up there. What a perfect way to hang with family while exploring a new place!
So yes, it's been a very long and dull month, but it's spring and that means it's time for new beginnings. Just like a spring flower, I'm bringing myself out of this dirty ground and showing off my true colors again!
