Three years in the making

Oh hello....hi there!  I feel like a stranger writing here on my own blog.  Just looked at my last blog post...it's been three years to the day.  Wow!  How have I let the time pass so quickly?

I would love to recap you on all of the things that have happened over the last three years, but I'm afraid we would be here all day, so I'll tell you why I'm returning, instead.

You see, I believe that every once in a while, you go through a big, monumental "seasonal" change in life.  A shifting of your whole world.  Like the creation of a new continent.  It's not always easy, and can sometimes be quite painful, but there is joy and so much beauty in it, as well.  

I believe I'm going through one of these shifts right now.  I go back and forth on how I should embrace it, but I do know that it's happening and that I have to embrace it.  

Anyway, we took a family vacation earlier this month to visit Mitch's family on Maui.  It had been 9 years since he had gone home and we figured that it was about time that Sophi and I met the rest of the family, too.  Mitch jokes and says that he "had to make sure I was sticking around before taking me home to meet the family".  He's so funny. The honest truth{s} is/are, though, that we live entirely too comfortably here in our little bubble and we never made the effort to save to get back.  Until this month.  More on this later!

Since we returned home from Maui, I have had a hell of a time getting the bubbles in my brain back in order.  Lots of questions and new feelings.  I started thinking of this space again.  This was always a space where I could just be ME.  Outloud.  It was always the perfect way for me to arrange my bubbles and also to share my struggles/triumphs/mess with you.

So, I'm back!  YAY!  Yay...right???

I'm changing the name of the blog and going to be doing some major construction around here, but I have to get my blogger toes wet again and remember how to steer this ship...or something like that. ;) I didn't want to hold off on writing any longer, though. 

Sit tight and enjoy this ride with me!

Oh yeah, here's us now :)
