back to it.

i'm thinking that while instagram and social media has made staying in touch and preserving short memories easier than ever before--- i'm missing some of the long form thoughts that a blog post.

so here's the latest.

we got a dog. (!!!)

i spend about 2 hours a day in the car.  driving to school.  from school.  piano lessons.  tennis.  basketball.  gymnastics.  the gym.  it's  a glamorous life.

i'm seriously knocked out by 8 pm.  so this blog post feels....tired.

i have had a lot of thoughts today that i dreamed about writing down and saving for my children, and for myself.  thoughts of christ, the gospel, miracles, what the purpose of our trials are.  but the thought of writing them here makes my stomach turn.  they are still too tender.  and i'm not as brave as a once was about bearing my heart out into the world. 

but here's a start. 

late night runs to walgreens for prescriptions.  it's been a rough few weeks at our house with illnesses.
