It's hard to imagine that in just 6 short days, I will be the proud mother of a 10 year old. How did it go so fast?
His life has been a rollercoaster. Lots of ups and downs, curves and loops. As hard as it's been, I don't think I'd trade any of it for the world. He has made me grow as a person and learn things I never thought I'd know. I am a far better person because of him!
Happy (early) birthday, Dwight!

Hello, February!
I've realized something as I've sat trying to write this update for the past few days.
I am not a writer! A poet, yes. But definitely not a writer.
That's probably why I haven't been able to blog daily like I always tell myself I will. Sometimes the words are there and they are fabulous.... but mostly, I just BS my way through much like I did on my high school English papers. Heh
January simply flew by.
I managed to read 2 books: A Time to Kill by John Grisham and The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson. (The latter being my new book for the month.) It was a good start to the Walt Longmire series! If you haven't heard of it, pick it up. You can also stream the first season of the A&E show - Longmire - on Netflix.
I've fallen WAY behind on my Bible reading. I found this great app that has plans to help you read through whatever it is you want to in Bible. I chose a 365 day plan to help keep it simple enough to read daily.... apparently not simple enough for me though. Oops.
I've given myself every excuse not to be at the gym. That stops today. I'll post the proof later.
I managed to finish a WIP that I started quite some time ago when I was testing the pattern for one of my favorite crochet designers, Sandy Powers. I've very happy with the outcome! I'll post a photo of it once I'm able to take my time and get a good one.
As my last Photo Friday post shows, I've been doing well on my mood blanket. It has been so much fun to decide what mood I'm in every day and document that in yarn. I will have to break my blanket up into multiple blankets. I'm thinking about doing 6 over the course of the year with 2 months in each blanket. It will be interesting to watch them all progress and see the collection I have at the end of the year.
I didn't do so well with taking more photographs in January. But I'm attempting to do better this month. I've even decided on a little project to take more photos of myself since I'm normally the one behind the camera. Those will be a post all unto themselves.
Guess that's enough rambling...... for now.
