Update!

I know what you are thinking. Really. It’s been how long….

I will say it now, like I have said many, many times before. I struggle.

I am sitting here in my room in Michigan watching the Grammy’s. Enjoying the performances and for the zillionth time in my life wishing I was a little more artistic. But oh well, even without that talent I feel blessed. I am blessed.

My life in a nutshell…

I am an AUNT! Dylan joined Team Langhoff on December 20. I am grateful and excited for Dylan to grow, and can’t wait to see him again. Carl and Kristy are GREAT parents, and doing a wonderful job.

My Monday through Friday daytimes are enjoyable and busy with Callie and Carter’s activities. We have piano, gymnastics, dance, library programs, music class, homework and other activities shared between the seven (and a half, she would want me to say that) and three year old I have the gift of spending my time with.

My evening and weekend free time is starting to take shape as well. I joined a church in November; http://www.stpaulsrochester.org/. I am a volunteer with the senior high youth on Sunday evenings. It’s been great to talk with high school students about their concerns and joys, and also to work with the other three volunteers. In addition, I joined the Epworth Choir that performs at the contemporary service every Sunday morning; and like my dad so kindly said I am singing as part of the group, no solos in my future. : )

Also around the time I joined the church I became a member with the Rochester Area Jaycees; http://www.rochesterareajaycees.org/. It has provided a wonderful way to fulfill my programming needs. It took awhile after CAB to want to program again, but I am there! It’s feels really great to be a member of a group with a purpose and to be a part of that process.

Other than my time with St. Pauls and the Jaycees I have been reading!, trying to get back into a schedule at the gym, hanging out with friends, watching movies (yes, many of which are rented from blockbuster…ask for explanation if you need it), and enjoying being 24 (I say that all the time but I really mean it).

My only qualm (besides my inner debate on if I like Taylor Swift or not) is trying to determine when my time as a nanny is over. I have a list of positives and negatives. I have “made” the decision so many times, only to change my mind before I able to confirm anything. I would appreciate any and all opinions on this matter because I AM TORN!

All in all my life is good. My days are happy.

I hope you all are finding joy in the new year.
