Wow. Has it really
been That long since I've blogged?
Well...in my defense, since I've been gone I've gotten engaged, quit my
old job, got a better job, had a baby, quit the Better job to stay home with
the baby, and am still living in the cold up-north, though in a little town in
Benton County, not Stearns. A few things
to address:
1. I am here to stay.
Now that I'm at home with CS, the lil' man, I have all the time in the
world to blog, and so that's what I'll be doing.
2. Now onto
subject--since being at home I've started two things a lot more heavily than I
had before: crafting, and trying to have
a greener lifestyle. As you can imagine, that will have an impact on my posts.
No, I'm not a hippie mama who never showers (although I may not have a shower
every day because trying to get fifteen minutes where my happy, healthy three
month old doesn't need me is Difficult) but I am trying to be healthier, not
just for the fiance' and I, but for baby as well. For example, I cloth diaper, and have been
using essential oils in my day-to-day going-ons (Look for a blog post about
both!)
One of my many crafting projects--I make rosaries!
3. AC is not
dead. I know this because I've been in
contact with her, although I haven't seen her for a bit since she lives across
the nation from me currently. Hopefully
I'll convince her with all the not-so-free time she has to pop in for a quick
hello.
Anyway, for those new readers (or old readers who are
surprised we're even alive still), I'll give a brief intro.
I started blogging with AC back when we both were
bright-eyed freshmen in college. She
went to big-city public college and I went to a smaller, liberal arts. We talked about our adventures.
Then I left college, she continued. We couldn't blog about
being Collegiate Crazies when we both weren't, so we shifted gears to a new
blog. ...then life got in the way, we
got busy, and well, life changed again.
She graduated, and took a year off before getting into a Master's
program at an east-coast college while I quit my job at the local Cracker
Barrel and moved up north to Minnesota (not so random, my dad's from
there). So we started this blog: a blog
about life, about the crazy, constantly turning world we live in. ...and then life got busy and we fell off the
map.
Me and a much-smaller CS
As for me, I'm a twenty-four year old stay-at-home-mom to a
wonderfully bright-eyed three month old boy.
He's the light of my life and definitely keeps my days busy. The fiancé and I live on a small fixer-upper
farm. Right now it's fixing up the
house--small steps. I'll be planting a
garden when it warms up a bit and stops raining, and I hope by next year to
have chickens. I do a lot of sewing and
crafting to take up the time not spent playing with CS. I look forward to blogging more about my
family, Minnesota, my new projects, and my essential oils (I've become quite
passionate about it).
Hope you tune in for more!
