Starting Fresh

I have racked my brain over and over again, trying to figure out how in the world I would ever catch up on this blog. And, where I would even start?! Those questions have stressed me out, seriously. Not everyday, but every so often I would beat myself up over how far behind I’ve gotten on this thing and how Callie is going to give me a heartbroken look when she sees how much less I blogged after she was born.

That all might happen, she might really be upset or she might not care at all. I just have to stop wasting time here. I feel like I have said this a million times, but I really am going to try harder (SO HELP ME LORD!) to make this blog worth reading later in life. To be realistic though, I cannot go back and retrace. That will take a lot of time and I may never get up to date. And even though I have issues letting go, I am going to have to.

Starting fresh, tonight. The one and only PAST post I will do and it will be a recap (to the best of my abilities) of 2013. Then, everything from here on out will be current. Here it goes……

2013 was a great year! We had a pretty good winter, not too much snow, but we did get some and the kids loved it.

Spring came and it was Carter’s first year of Tball. Lots of fun!!!!
