TIME

SO it has been forever since I have blogged and I hate it because I LOVE to blog!!! But I just wanted to share my thoughts on my mind and see if anyone else can relate.

I was thinking back to high school when my social life was in FULL swing and I had every minute planned with pep rallies, stag dances, hanging on the cool wall while making plans for Friday night. I thought I was busy... but then I graduated and went off to college where classes were actually challenging and I had to study and I had my yogurt swirling job and still worked on that social life of bonfires in the canyon and sifting through the guys to find my sole mate. I though I was busy... but then I fell in LOVE and spent every minute with Chip and planned a wedding and still went to school and got a more serious job and bought a house and worked hard in that house to make it our home. I thought I was really busy.... until our sweet little boy came into my life and I added the title of a mom to my repertoire along with night time feedings, diaper changing, play dates and cleaning up mush all over the floor. I thought I was busy...but then 11 months later another child came into my life and Chip went to dental school and we left everyone we ever knew and Chip was gone a whole lot and I had more responsibilities that fell upon me. I thought I was busy..... until Wyatt came into our lives, we move back to Utah and I start helping Chip build his dental practice and then baby number four, this time it's a girl. The boys are into super sports and they practice 5 days a week along with piano, homework, school projects, scouts and I get a church calling that I work on almost every day while Im still trying to help Chip at the office. Now I KNOW I am busy, so busy that I can't imagine one more responsibility and suddenly I get a phone call that my moms heart is in danger and the doctors need to go in and fix it. And suddenly all of these busy time consuming nonsense things that suck so much of our time in life don't seem to matter at all. And the realization comes to me that this "BUSY" can interfere our relationships with one another. I am going to take the "BUSY" out of my life and try and focus on making the memories that matter. Keep my mom in your prayers, I love her very much!
