The Case for Joy: One Month In

One Month In

Phew!

I'm one month in exactly...with two little daughters that is.

Tim has been in FRANCE this week! I know--so cool (for him) and yikes (for me!). Nah, it's been great. I have the neatest little island family here and they've picked up my slack!

I pick up Timmy tonight and boy am I (we) excited! Blakes often tells me that "I'm sad" -- because daddy isn't here. And, Colbs...well, she may be too little to realize much, but she sure is growing! Pretty sure my girls will stand a chance at volleyball or basketball...just based on height alone! ha! (can we say, scholarship? how soon is too soon to sign 'em up for a team?!).

Anyway.

Thanks for reading about my re-search for identity on my last blog post. I'm doing better (I appreciate the Facebook notes of encouragement!).

I'm still teaching online--for University of Phoenix--which is wonderful and challenging all at once. Still looking for the right balance with my new roles. It's trial and error, isn't it?

Can I just say this...

I really appreciate (also read: love, respect, etc...) my husband. We are such a team and with him gone...well, there's a hole. Even if he's cruisin' on the couch with Jeopardy (I know, right...Jeopardy?)...he's likely to jump into a wrestling match with B-Rex or find himself in Princess Jasmine plastic dress-up heels. :)

I need that. She needs that. Even he needs that.

(And the whole Jeopardy thing...even that's rare. The man is a hard-worker--which makes me a lucky girl!).

So...thanks, Tim, for being just who we need (and love!!!).

Since I, in part, blog for the digital memories, I hope you don't mind if I share just a couple of pictures. I have been overwhelmingly blessed by two dear friends who happen to be rockin' photographers. I'll link to their sites below. Please check them out!
