OK, so you've probably noticed I have been MIA for over a month. These last few months have been especially hard for me. (Have you seen the dark circles under my eyes?) I haven't even had time to check my blog or add anything new for over a month. I feel like I have been unable to keep up anything lately. I have been overwhelmed with life and the pressure of it all. I have felt like I just get to tread water - it is enough to survive, but doesn't get me anywhere. To top it all off, I have been just tired... tired of Jared being gone so much (working all of the time), tired of 14+ hour days with young (needy) children, tired of not getting out much, tired of the heat, tired of not having any money - basically I have been tired. It has been hard, but not impossible. I was feeling a bit run down, but things are finally starting to look up. Whew. Thanks for letting me get my whining done for now. Sometimes things are just hard and this summer has been one of those difficult spots for me. Now it is on to better things...
I am going to try and play catch-up with my blog. I have about a million entries that I want to add. I may actually only get to a few of them. The good news is that life is starting to get a little more normal. Jared will try to cut down and only work 12 hour days now that things are up and running at the new office and preschool starts for Jadyn in a few weeks! Hallelujah! We just got back from a family reunion and my sister is in town for a few more days so this month is definitely going to finish better than the last one for sure.
Looking back I am grateful that things were tough this summer. It has made me appreciate my husband and our daily blessings even more. I have really had to search for things to be happy about some days, but I have always had something.
This is all that I have energy to post tonight, but more will soon follow with stories, pictures, and all the craziness that is going on around here. I had better get some sleep so that I am at least functional tomorrow.

I'm sorry you had a rough summer. You did teach two amazing classes for church and I noticed you are teaching another one. I enjoyed the classes, but may be you shouldn't do it....you have a very busy life. At least assign someone else to bring the treats!
Summers here are soooo long! I forget how hard it is with really little kids. hang in there! You are doing great, don't put too much pressure on yourself.
I'm so glad thing are looking up, they always do! Hang in there, you are doing great!
I was thinking you were sure doing a lot. I kept seeing your name on this and that. I love your RS lessons you do such a great job, and the photo class was awesome!!So thank you! Thank you for!!giving up so much of your time for others this summer. I am so happy things will slow down for awhile. I started to realize it was okay to say NO (not that I am as busy as you) but it has helped so much. I am glad your husband will be home more-that will be so nice. I am so glad that London and Jenna get to be on nursery and playgroup together- they are so cute!!
I don't know how you do it with Jared working so much. You're amazing. Hang in there, and I'm glad it looks like things are on the upswing! (And you're hair is adorable!!!)
