Good Intentions

Sometimes I feel like my life is full of just good intentions. It carries throughout many areas of my life, but for this post I'm only thinking about my intentions for staying in-touch. I love people and I enjoying knowing what is going on in others' lives, yet I'm horrible at keeping up relationships with all the people that I love. Let me explain. I had started a blog one month after my first son was born.... and I did one post. I have a Facebook account... and if I check it once every two months and update it once a year I'm doing well. I also have a MySpace account, which a friend just commented the other day how she wants to see updated pictures of Bryce (#2) because he is 3 1/2 months old, and I only have newborn pictures up. I think you're getting the picture.

I'm not going to make excuses for myself. Sure, I have two kids under the age of two. Yes, I'm working part time cleaning at the school to help out the family financially. I'm also trying to keep up with my household chores as well. I guess I just feel like in the grand scheme of things, outside of my relationship with God, my husband and kids, the next important thing should be my relationship with family and friends. That's what has value and is worth investing in, not whether or not there are dishes in my sink or laundry in the dryer. I know that Drew's recent departure to be with the Lord has played a big part in me wondering where my priorities lie.

So this is my attempt at doing a better job of keeping up with friends and family. I'm great at checking others' blogs, so hopefully I'll do well at keeping up with mine!! For now, enjoy some pictures of our little family from the past month.
