Times are a'changin

There I was last night, at my favorite casual restaraunt, sipping a orange brewery beer on the patio, gazing at the Santa Catalina Mountains, with my husband, analyzing the market of the area we're putting an offer on a great home, deciding together what we're going to offer...

...and I had one of those moments.....

One of those moments, where you almost "step outside of yourself" and say "Who am I?"

3-4 years ago, I didn't understand how a credit card worked.....

 I didn't understand what interest rates were. I had never heard the word "PMI Insurance", "Active Contingent", or "CAPA". I had no idea about the time frame of polybutelene pipes and lead based paint.

I was concerned about...my hair and making sure my class schedule was good.

I always hear people say "Hang on and look around often, because the years go quick". I've never quite "bought into that" until last night -- when it all kind of dawned on me!

Do I regret it? Do I feel like it's all going too fast?

Not at all. I feel in the "right place" in life at this time. I love my job (even though it is the bane of my existence sometimes, and makes me crazy)..I value all my experiences I've gained. I have a husband who is incredibly perfect for me. I feel like I'm in the right place @ at the right time in all aspects of my life.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will be working, but am okay with that -- since I weaseled out and didn't work a single weekend in July! :)

On Monday, we will have been married for 2 years! Man, time flies when you're having fun!

I am glad that you feel at peace with where you are at. I have had alot of 'who is this girl' moments, espeically lately. Like I think of how much I studied for the CFA and I think - where did that motivation come from? Granted, I am a driven person, but the amoutn of time I spent studying for that test was amazing as I studied about 5-6 days/week. And then I thikn about how i get up at 5 to workout before work on Tues/Thur and again I think - what? What about the girl who struggled to get up at 10 on a weekend. Now I can't sleep past 7 unless I REALLY try.

Sending good luck vibes your way! Hopefully you find another house you love!

Ha. I think I must be in delayed adolescence! I still don't know any of that stuff!

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon!

30 Blogs: Something I'm Afraid of

This isn't a very difficult post for me to write about. I am such a "scaredy cat" about so many things. I could quite possibly turn this into a book. I was also the kid that wouldn't go on the monkey bars at school, out of fear that my arms may be ripped out of their sockets. I was the kid who got to the end of the diving board, and then shriveled into a ball at the end shaking in tears. I got to the top-climax spot on a roller coaster, and start saying "Oh my God, get me off this thing. I don't want to do it anymore! Get me off this thing!!" Then I went college, and majored in nursing. I leanred all the horrible ways one can reach multi-system organ failure. If I have too much coffee, and feel maybe the slightest heart palpitation - I am listening to my heart sounds with my stethoscope......... So here's my list of irrational some fears. ;) (some of these may be comical & pathetic to you):\ Heights Vomit (I've gotten better about th...
