Just Life

It's a funny thing these days - I've found myself speechless more and more often. Like I really don't have anything to say. Unless it involves figure skating which the majority of the world doesn't want to read and/or listen to. So I find myself blogging less. And even talking less. Or something like that. I really just don't have much to say.

The funny thing is that I blog in my head a lot. Like I'll be in the shower and think of a trillion things to blog about. But by the time I sit down to write it all out, it's long gone and I stare at the screen. I do this lying in bed at night too. If I could blog by osmosis (like from my head straight onto blogger) we'd be good to go. But alas you can't so my blog has suffered.

I think this is just a sign of our lives right now. We're settled. There's nothing new, big, or exciting coming up. Life is running its course and we're enjoying the day to day living of it. 

• We live in our house that we bought.  
• We had our baby girl and we're enjoying her day to day living. She isn't saying much yet and so consequently blogging about her funny day-to-day actions become less funny when they're put into written words. Perhaps as she begins to talk more and more I'll start blogging more frequently.
• I finished school with Honors. I got a job. I love my job. I work 7 days a week most weeks. Just after Alexys is sleeping. I can't share more than vague details because I'm not allowed. I'm not smart enough to change the details and keep the stories funny like other medical bloggers. 
• I'm good at my job and recently got a raise and a bonus for receiving 100% on my most recent "blind" review (ie: I don't know which reports they're checking, but they checked 6 and I made no mistakes). I won a contest at work for typing the most reports in 2 hours and got a bonus for that too. 
• We're paying off all our debt and loans slowly but surely. We'll look at new furniture and a new car for me once those are paid off. And then in the far future a bigger house.
• Our summer vacation includes going to Alberta to spend time with Jordon's family and so that Jordon can be in his high school best friend's wedding as the best man in August. 
• I spend time with my family, especially my Mom, during the week. 
• I got my next level promotion in judging (Juvenile in Singles, Dance, and Pairs). I completed my Novice seminar in Singles. I've almost got my Novice promotion in Synchro - I literally just have to send it in and I'm done for that. I enjoy judging at competitions every few months - just local ones. I'll go to my first out of town one for synchro in February. I'm already nervous. 
• I didn't try out for my own synchro team - instead I sat at the boards and did the evaluations. And I mostly wasn't even sad.

And that would be our life.  See why I have trouble blogging? Life is just happening.

And I'm loving every moment of it - it's life that happens in the little things. And that's where we are.
