Do you ever have times when things just seem to be “clicking“?
I know I’ve said it before – but 2013 really might be a pretty amazing year. A year full of much-needed change. There are so many things that are “in the works” right now that I am very excited about. My little blog is building presence and I’ve had the pleasure of making so many friends through it. Not just “blog friends” that comment once and awhile but actual friends. Girls that I chat with on a daily basis. And I am feeling so blessed for those connections. So blessed. I don’t really have that many friends in “real” life. Is that sad? Yeah, it’s kind of sad. But true – when we moved back to the area most of our friends had already left so we started fresh. And let me tell you, making friends when you’re older is not as easy as making friends in college. It just isn’t. Another goal is to put myself out there more – go to more play dates and hopefully – make more friends. And for some reason that was really embarrassing to type… moving on…
Our little family is filled with so much love lately.
We made it a goal for 2013 to really focus on each other and to try our best not to lose sight of the relationships that we have within these walls. We have been making time each day to do things together, and I just love it.
I’ve also started working less. And although I love my job to pieces – it’s been nice to take a step back and spend more time snuggling my little man and less time typing on the computer. It’s all about scheduling and we’re really beginning to fall into one.
This post really is just a jumble of thoughts and probably doesn’t make much sense.
But, just know that you’re appreciated + that I can’t wait to get to know you better in 2013.
Your friend,
Ahhh (sigh of relief) at least I’m not the only one who just gets random thoughts out in my posts:)
haha! Nope, you’re not alone! ๐
I’m thankful for you, friend. ๐ I love our twitter and Instagram chats!!!
Me too! I was thinking of you when writing this post ๐ And Toby, of course.
Will you be my friend? How nerdy was that – I like your post it’s the real you.
YES! Of course! ๐
I totally feel you….I find it enormously difficult to find friends. I end up thinking (in a friendship) that we are better friends than we actually are. I haven’t had a best friend since…8th grade. Now who’s sad??!! Someone has always been MY best friend but I was never anyone’s best friend. Getting older is so much harder…i just don’t trust people to be my friend i guess. I had met a couple of nice bloggers and I hope to make those connections you have. Wow…didn’t mean to “feeling vomit” here!!

No problem! I totally understand where you are coming from! I have my best friend (who is also Wyatt’s godmother) that I’ve known since high school – but other than her, nada.
I find it difficult to find friends in the military world. There are either really young girls, I don’t connect with. Or older women, who I really don’t connect with either. My husband is 5 years older than me and higher in rank, so it’s always to hard to find a couple that is around the same age too. Plus his career field is small & because he works for the church, they think he throws bibles at people (which we don’t) We tend to keep to ourselves though because it seems to be less drama. I go to storytime at the library and chit/chat there but leave it there. It’s been working for me. You aren’t the only one! I like my blog friends. They seem to be more “there” for me and I don’t have to meet obligations like playdates and such when I have a sick kid or a naptime to work around
and not to mention, I read this quote a while back that I find true. “If they gossip with you, more than likley they gossip about you.” I have learned that MANY times…I also recently had a friend that measured everything we did. Like if she bought me a coffee, I had to buy her a coffee the next time…like no joke. It was a back & forth thing and I’m no way like that. I do things cause I’m feeling generous and nice…not because I feel like I have to pay back everyone.
Oh, I totally understand! I feel like we’d make good “real” life friends!
Awh, how exciting! It IS difficult to make friends! Even I have difficulty and I’m still in college. It’s because I am a bit older than the rest of the kiddos in college because I’m a little late on getting my degree, plus, I’m in the nursing program, I don’t have time to “waste” on other students and their drama or humor that I don’t get. I know it’s going to be even harder to make friends as the years go by, but that’s why I value those I do have — though I don’t have time to hang out with them………
Congratulations & good luck on all the changes! Surprisingly, I’m a long time follower, but first time commenter (in my head I heard “first time caller…..”). But it’s definitely so wonderful making connections and friends in the blogging world. I feel like all the bloggers are more my type of people! =)
Haha!(first time caller!). Thank you for taking the time to comment – I really appreciate it! Don’t be a stranger, okay? Blogging connections are amazing. One of my closest friends is a fellow blogger Kimberly @ A Night Owl Blog. I chat with her EVERY day, lol.
Awww so sweet! And I LOVE chatting with you girl!! xo
