So for a year, I have documented the ever changing, ever growing, eventful yet boring, typical yet so atypical,. good, bad, and faithFULL life of the Powells!
When I went Jumping In, I had no idea how it would go or if I would keep it up. Now, a year later, I am so glad I did. You forget things so quickly when you have small children and the days just rush by, some in a complete blur, but as I wrote this post, I was able to go back and remember the "little things". Over the past year, there have been Fairy Tales, Exquisite Moments (like learning to tie shoes!),and Mountain Climbing! Reminiscing about our House of Dreams, Our Year, Vacation, and our jammed packed, way fun homeschool year! We have celebrated milestones, big and small... Starting school and 3k. Room redo's. First Birthday! The Tooth Fairy. Mac Jingles joining the family! :) First Snow! Turning 4 and 30 and 6! Learning to Read.. Completing Kindergarten! And so much more!! It's amazing to go back and see these little moments come together to make up our life, our memories, our story.
It has proven to be something I really enjoy, and as long as I can keep up, the blog will continue. When I started it, and now, I still say, I really don't do it for anyone but myself, but if you've followed along, thanks! After all, I am so boring to most...I do things like stay-at-home with my kids, homeschool, sew...I probably define weird. And hardly anyone outside of my home gets me. And that's OK! It's just me! I am just working on embracing who I am supposed to be...a crafty mommy to my babies and a wife to my husband! We celebrate everything! Most would say I spend way too much time making cute kid food and clothes and other things.
Repeating myself from a post a while back, but I still consider myself a vintage girl in a fast paced modern world! Seriously, I am about 100 years late! I wouldn't have stuck out so bad or gotten so many weird looks for my crazy hobbies and home life if I lived 100 years ago! But then again, I wouldn't be blogging either! ;) and however weird it may be, I am gonna continue on doing these weird things as long as I am able and God sees fit. I have not one other thing that I can see myself doing. This is a fast time in life, a crazy time. And I want to remember the little things. I want to keep them all! So thankful for the memories captured this past year and look forward to capturing many more! I am sure the coming year will be full of it's own milestones, memories, and exquisite moments! Can't wait to see! :)
