I recently realized that this blog is still visible to the world after a company (that was contacting me about the magazine) brought up an old post. It took me off guard. How did this voice on the other end of the phone know about my attempt at going without shampoo? Oh, wait. My blog must still be up and running. How embarrassing! I wanted to take it down right away but then as I went back to see what exactly she read, I found so many memories archived here. My first entry here was in 2012. I have entries about packing up our house in California on my own, our road trip across the country with a newborn, and living in a fifth-wheel for a few months. I can't sweep this under the rug -- no matter how immature-sounding some of my posts appear to be (haha.) I've had so many blogs and lost so many entries from years back. I don't want to do that again.So how do I even re-cap my life over the past 8 months? My last post was in February and it was when I was in the middle of launching Deeply Rooted Magazine's campaign. This has been a major reason why my personal blog was set aside. There is just an incredible amount of energy and work put into it all and therefore my focus had to shift. Raising a three year old and a one year old while running a magazine is hard but by the grace of God, He is holding me together and moving me forward. Now that we are three issues in (praise the Lord!) and my team has grown (praise the Lord!) I'm starting to get into a groove where hopefully I will have time for an entry here and there. I also took a class when I was at the Pursuit 31 Conference put on by the amazing Casey Wiegand about her blogging schedule. It made so much sense and encouraged me on to keep blogging. (I'm also slowly learning how to manage my time a bit better.)One reason I started the magazine was because I loved sharing my heart through words and I really haven't had a chance to do that. I was reading through entries from 2012 and it's crazy how so many forgotten memories were brought back to mind. So here's an attempt at an entry. This is a journal of our life and I want to continue sharing it as much as my schedule permits.
