Time

“How did it get so late so soon?”
― Dr. Seuss

It seems time has gotten away from me. It's hard to believe my last post was July 3rd! Blogging...I've missed you!

This is my favorite time of year...and I am so afraid it is going to pass me by without a second glance if I don't slow down. And so I write.

You may ask, "What, hey tell, have you been doing these past few months?" Or maybe not, but I feel compelled to share. I stopped blogging in July when my dear TC stepped on my computer and shattered the screen. (It's a sensitive topic). I attempted to use his computer to blog, but he has a mac. Yes, that's right, I cannot use a mac - at least not without becoming instantly frustrated. So I waited to continue writing until I purchased a new pc, which did not come until tax free weekend in August.

Before my new computer arrived, my camera also broke - technology was not kind to me this summer. It broke just in time for our cruise we took to Mexico. Thankfully, my dad saved the day and let me borrow his camera. The cruise was fantastic. A true vacation. No cell phones, computer, text messages, agenda (unless you count the "fun"-filled schedule provided by Carnival Cruise Lines), or work assignments. Bliss. We loved it.

Back from the cruise, back to reality, back to CRAZINESS. In this same time period of July/August, TC was offered an additional role at UM as the Assistant Women's Soccer Coach... Absolutely thrilled! We feel it was and is such a blessing that he has been able to work with such an awesome head coach and incredible team. Speaking of which, they are currently ranked #2 in the nation. Yes, you may call him Coach T- I'm so proud!

 

 

August is the busiest month for us at our jobs. We love our jobs, but August does not leave much room for anything outside of work. Add to what we felt was already a pretty full working schedule TC's role as the new Assistant Women's Soccer Coach (*Cheers/Applause*), working to help my mother with her ever-growing business (check out Elizabeth Ann's), my teaching a psychology course, and other everyday life surprises - voila! August extended into November and produced an absent blogger. But absolutely no complaints. August, September, October...I've been reminded of the great friendships I have that can withstand the obstacles of time. I've been reminded that family is so important and so refreshing in the midst of abundant stress. I've been reminded home is a haven from the chaos. I've been reminded to be intentional as always in all things. And I've been reminded of God's constant sovereignty and provision. With that said, I will be grateful for a slowdown :)

A brief update on recent events: My grandfather is doing well and recovering wonderfully from both surgeries (THANK YOU for your prayers), my two dear friends are getting married and TC's team is playing in the SSAC Quarterfinals tournament this weekend, and TC and I finally got to spend an ENTIRE day together this past Sunday had a great time getting in the Christmas spirit!

It's good to be back.

We did manage to sneak a photo session in with Love Ya Jess
