In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Long Time No Post

Filed under: General — Rachel at 10:33 pm on Saturday, August 8, 2009

I know, I know. I’m a sucky blogger. It’s true.

My life has been so full lately. I was blogging pretty regularly before Abby Jo was born, but the combination of the new baby and Facebook took a lot of my blogging energies. And, to be honest, I have been dealing with some pretty tough depression for a while that I didn’t care to blog about. I’m feeling better for now, though, and I want to get up to date on here.

Here’s the quick version of what’s been up with me, and I’ll blog more about them in separate posts later. Abby Jo is doing great. She’s four and a half months old, and is absolutely beautiful. You can click here to see some recent pics I uploaded to Facebook. Chris left in July for Fort Jackson, SC, where he is finishing up CHBOLC. He’s getting ever closer to being a chaplain. The kids and I are in SC right now, visiting him for the weekend. A week before he left, Amy and her kids came to stay with us for a while. Joel was gone on Army orders and they were in transition with their living situation, so they just moved in with me for a month. About a week after Amy came, my friend, Taylor, moved in with us as well. She’s expecting my little nephew in November, and is staying with us for a while.

I think that covers most of my summer in headlines. I’ll blog the details later in their own posts. I have lots of photos to upload, but I’ll have to do that on Chris’ computer. My (brand new!!!) laptop doesn’t have a card reader. If anyone is still here, leave me a quick comment. It’s motivating to blog more often when I know I still have someone reading.

Until next time!

I still read whenever you post! I have been wondering where you have been~ glad to see that you put something on here! By the way, my oldest daughter’s name is Abigail Joy, and we call her Abby Joy. So close to your baby’s name- she is beautiful like my Abby, too! Keep writing- you do still have some readers!
