I'm Baaaaaack!

So, the blog lived, then died, then its heart began to beat again, followed shortly by another flat-line. This is exactly why I named this baby 'The Greatest of Intentions' - because my intentions are always great; I just usually have a lack of follow through.

So because I just talked to one of the greatest gals in the whole world about what has been going on in her life, I thought I'd get back to trying to let everyone in on what goes on in mine.

And that includes a LOT of things: kids (total being 4 now!!), sports (total being 8 going on consecutively now!!), jobs (two, which are both going great), pets (two dogs, two lizards, 13+ fish, and whatever new bug or small animal comes along the way-currently one very hungry caterpillar and one potential butterfly, and a weird egg case made by a spider: I think!), humanitarian efforts (currently two that are slow-movers, but efforts nonetheless), and one very great, great guy whom despite all of this, still keeps running with me and together we have been able to create a great life with each other.

So this past summer, through all the trips to baseball and softball games (ours and the kids') we managed to take a nice vacation to Colorado (pics to come later) and spend some days hanging at the pool. The next thing I knew, the boys were off to school again (entering 6th and 7th grade) and my little babies were headed back to preschool and 2nd grade! How did I ever get to the point where I am 28 years old and leading this life?! But you know, I wouldn't change a minute of it.

So yesterday, after football practice, AHA calls, going to get 12 inches of Phoenix's hair cut off, and grabbing my little nephew to hang out for awhile, we were able to enjoy the evening with some great friends swimming in their pool, playing poker, and staying up till the wee hours of the morning, which is why I have some time to sit here and write this post while everyone else is still sleeping in.

So, here's to this blog; may it grow and prosper and give you all a little extra reading material every now and then.
