I mean, it's like, what do you want me to say

For like the millionth time in my blogging career, I'm here rolling my eyes after a blogging hiatus.  Here is what happens: I feel bored and like I have nothing to blog about, then a million blog-worthy things happen and I feel blogwhelmed {blog overwhelmed, duh}.  So blogwhelmed that I'm like, "what's the point?!  I can't cover it all!"  Then I'm annoyed with myself for not blogging.  So I don't blog.

This sounds like the pattern of an eating disorder.

So I'm here.  Notice I didn't say I'm back.  I make no promises.  It's like a shady relative that pops in a and out of your life just when he needs something. And what I need is to document my life so I don't forget.

So here is what is going on in life, in no particular order but definitely in the form of snapshops and snippets:

Karl has learned to sew!  It's like the whole world is our oyster!!!  I see something I like and he's like, "I'LL MAKE IT!"  And I'm like, "YES!  LET'S GO TO JOANNS!!!"  Y'all, he is literally Jack of all trades, master of all.  We've been painting canvases for the walls, sewing pillows for the couch, hemming curtains, fixing the coffee table, gold foiling everything in sight (yes, my only contribution).  I'm thinking next weekend we're going to hole up until Karl teaches me how to sew.  idontknow, the last sewing teacher I had walked away from me sooooo, we'll see.

I have been missing Lucy and Oliver like crazy.  This sounds so ridiculous, I know, but it needs to be acknowledged that if I look at a picture of either of them for too long my arms start to twitch.  Karl thinks I'm insane.  But it's true.  Like I actually need to hold them if I think about them too much... moving on {but not without pictures}...

These two are my favorite things to take pictures of without a doubt!

We have been exploring and trying to find cool and fun things to do around here!  Especially before it starts reaching the mid 100's {April/May} LAME!  We are enjoying national parks and trails, TONS of shopping, trying local food, and planning for some fun trips and visitors!!

We are really loving our apartment {except for having upstairs neighbors kids with lead feet that make me want to die} and I am loving decorating with our next house in mind!  I get on realtor.com at least twice a week and look at houses for sale in DFW.  What?

There is an Ikea like 30 minutes away that I have enjoyed perusing while Karl is at work annnnd I go to Target about, oh, every day.

Karl & I decided we are going to take social media breaks on the weekends and so far we are loving it! It is a challenge.  I find myself reaching for my phone out of habit first thing Saturday morning {and then my husband lovingly reminds me}.  It is a needed break for us.  Anytime I am bored {which is all the time if Karl is at work} I am reaching for my phone for some social media and that is lame.

I am bored.  Really bored.  I could wah wah complain about this and tell you how I am MAJ wrestling with God on this but I'll keep it at this: I'm praying for friends here, and a church body, and a job, and literally anything shy of illegal to do during the day.  I have seen every episode of every TV show produced in the last 3 years, I know who all the up and coming musicians are, I have budgets made for the next 12 months.  I have an empty planner and I do not like it.

I am declaring with expectation that soon I will blog about all the fun stuff I'm doing with awesome people in cool places and everything that God has been teaching me in my solitude... right??

p.s.: I swear I tried my darndest to chock this full of pics.  They don't exist.  Will work on that.
