Change of Pace

I love how when I check the weather radar, there is nothing, yet it has been raining for nearly half an hour now... I'll blog until it ends and I can walk to the gym. I had to walk the two miles home in pretty much a full downpour on Monday and don't feel like repeating that anytime soon.

So I have found lately that I am struggling with this blog. I'm not really sure what I want to do with it. I think since I feel out of place with life in general, I feel that way about the blog right now too.

I have finally come to terms that I won't be returning to Texas, as sad as that makes me. Those two years served a critical purpose in my life (finding God, finding Judah, growing as a person, meeting incredible people), but it is now time to move on. There is that whole concept of hating change... I guess I am feeling that right now.

I definitely have mixed feelings on not working. In one sense, I love being able to plan my day the way that I want. I can do whatever I want around the house, I have plenty of time to workout, read, watch TV. On the other hand, I hate feeling bored and the days I never even go outside seem to kill me. But now that the guinea pig babies are born, I know how important it is for me to be here. I am able to keep up with our house, something I know every woman wishes she had more time to do! I thought maybe God was preparing me to start a family, but I know I am a longggg way off from being even remotely comfortable with that idea, haha. I could hardly handle the McNuggets being born, no way I could handle the stress of a human baby!

I think once I start to write articles for that magazine, I will find some sort of flow. Also, I am still waiting to hear back from the WVATA to get more involved with their projects. I know soon enough I will find other ways to stay busy.

Most of you who know me personally know that I am not a fan of caffeine. I have always been pretty sensitive to it (Thanks Dad! :P) and try to avoid it whenever possible. But I've been finding lately that I am always sooo tired. I've been sharing drinks with Judah from Starbucks and have found that the caffeine hasn't had as profound an effect on me as it used to, so maybe I need to start having coffee everyday? That may help me a bit in the motivation department too. I'm generally pretty productive in the morning, but once the afternoon hits I get that slump. I've been better about not napping when Judah is at work, but I seem to always nap the days he is home. Go figure! haha

In other news, Cocoa and Brownie are doing very well!! They are running around all over and have started to nibble on hay :)

On the top right corner, Brownie is to your left and Cocoa is on the right. The only way we have been able to tell them apart is Cocoa's ears are more folded than Brownie's. On the bottom center pic, Brownie is the one on the left again, whose face you can see, and Cocoa has her back turned to us. They are so adorable!!

It seems the rain is finally starting to taper off so time to head to the gym! Catch you all later!
