renewal

may 30, 2011

i don't know if it's where i'm at in life, the crazy amount of rain followed by the sun or the school year coming quickly to a close, but i feel as if life is changing.  some parts of it are definitely brought on by me.  my hair is back to its youth color - blond.  i figured it was time for a change. 

now i finally have a burning desire to clear out the clutter of the years gone by.  i've talked about it for months, but now i'm ready.  i actually feel like i'm suffocating in "stuff".  i was scared that if i got rid of the stuff, the memories would go with it - but of course that's not true.  it might not be as top of mind all of the time, but it will always be with me. 

talyn and i had a really great time in maui.  we went with great friends and somehow found the perfect combination of life list stuff and relaxing.  i got to snorkel with some sea turtles and talyn learned to surf.  but what i figured out over the past couple of months is as i continue to check things off of my life list - amazing outdoor concert experience, trip to hawaii, etc.  i just want to add more to it! 

more updates from the past month include:
  • we have gotten to know more medical professionals in the past month than many of you will know in a lifetime, but that's apparently how we roll. 
  • and talyn turned 6, surrounded by many kids and friends and lego everywhere.  i swear next year we'll do it simpler (or maybe not).
  • and talyn finally got matched with a big brother!  because of confidentiality - blah, blah, i can't share details, but i truly believe this will be life changing for us both.
so here's to enjoying the sunshine we do get, great friends and new experiences! 

aloha,
