life with the fords have been a bit crazy lately. and i will admit, the blog took a backseat. i have been in a funk lately and it is hard to write how i am feeling. we are in a constant state of transition. between moving to my sister in laws basement, looking for a new house, feeling the end of school coming, switching to third grade next year and having a new puppy i am having a hard time finding solid ground. lucky, ry seems to be completely level headed so i have him as my rock.
we have put offers in on 6 different houses in our house hunt. frustrating because we fall in love then get disappointed.
right now we have a house.
as long as the appraisal and home inspection do not dig up anything funky the house will be ours.
i am so excited!
it is a great starter home for me and ry in a great neighborhood.
but the owner of the house we are buying lives just down the street so we would go to the same church. which is completely fine but he wanted us to write a bio that he could read in church to introduce us
kind of weird but its all good, we will roll with it.
ry started writing it, telling about our lives and then he wrote all his hobbies {flyfishing, surfing, golfing, laughing} just to name a few.
and then he said...
"so al what are some of your hobbies?"
i was as blank as he was. and that bugged me. i used to be the kind of person who had so many interests that my day was filled with sports, singing, reading, church, friends. now.. my days are filled with school. i love teaching but it has completely consumed my life. as i reflected on the past year, i realized all the things i gave up to be a teacher. now i dont want this to sound like a pity party. it just got me thinking about my priorities and how i need to make time for myself. i have lost myself a bit. what are my hobbies? what do i like to even do? i will find the answers... eventually.. maybe ;)
in happy news.. countdown to hawaii...8 DAYS.
