I know it's been SO long since I last blogged. Blogging was something I loved doing. Truth be told after my last post in February I thought about putting this blog to bed and starting a new one. I couldn't come up with anything clever though. That's not to say I won't come up with something eventually. For now the blog will stay the same. I'll continue to post updates on what I'm doing, where I'm going, what's meaningful to me, what's not meaningful to me (Ha). The past four weeks have been challenging. We got a new claim system at work and the struggle has been real. As I write this on Monday morning I am entering week 5 of this system and while it's certainly better I still have much to learn. I have battled with a learning disability my entire life. I've learned to compensate for it and I know what works for me and what doesn't. I've been doing this same job for nearly 30 years. I had a nice rhythm until I didn't. It was hard for me to process all the information coming at me for really all of February and most of March. I couldn't remember things. I got tripped up on what had or had not been communicated. Anyway, I digress. Things are slowly improving and I'm starting to develop a new rhythm. It's really been nothing but all work and no play for me but this weekend I went with Kim and Lauren to a Women's Retreat at our church. It was all about grace. It was a good reminder that God's grace is greater than any of my sin (Praise God for that) and the importance of not only receiving the grace but giving it as well.
As far as my family goes. February was crazy busy work wise for Mike also. He's been knee deep in mitigation work which is good as inspections have been down. Jay is dating someone new. Nick and Rylan are still a happy couple. I tease them most nights by asking "What time does the Nick and Rylan show start?" Nick just got over a nasty case of pneumonia. He works too hard, too long and doesn't take care of himself as he should. Jay has met with a realtor and will be getting pre approved and hopefully he'll find a house he can afford in the next few months. I am beyond grateful for these past few years with Jay but it is time, both for him and for us.
