Sorry. I apparently forgot I have a blog, or two… or three.
My sister has been persistent in reminding me. So today, instead of editing pictures, I’m blogging. Anything to procrastinate!
I can’t believe it’s been almost four months since I blogged. Lazy girl.
What’s been going on?
When Khalil and I were in the three or so year roller coaster of our lives that included multiple illnesses, deaths, job transitions, teenage foster children, etc; I would often make a wish. I wished that we could climb off the roller coaster of chaos and drama, hunker down in a cave for a while, and just be us. Just do our thing: go to work, come home. Go on dates, hang out. Watch TV, be bored.
Bored.
I asked for a year of it, at minimum.
We’re about seven months in. Boredom has never been so heavenly. We are more or less drama-free. We are chaos and crisis free. I’m scared to say it for fear that I will jinx it, but there you have it. We go to work, come home. Cook dinner. Bicker about… the garbage. Cuddle on the couch. Play games with friends. It’s lovely.
We aren’t bored. Well- we don’t have drama and chaos. Both of us are working, but both of us have these dreams we’re after right now. It’s lovely having the time and energy to actually go after them. Khalil has been writing and working on a website and hoping and dreaming that one day he’ll get a paying position in the toy/ comic book industry. Or writing. Preferably both. I’m taking pictures, all the times- at weddings. People are paying us. It’s crazy, scary, nervewracking, and SO exciting.
That’s where we’ve been. I am going to try and blog more. Shannon, I’m sorry it’s not more interesting, and you know it all already! But it’s where we’re at.
