My last post on this blog was almost three years ago.
Three years ago, I was in my fourth semester at BYU-Idaho; I was living with roommates; I was skyping my soon-to-be fiance several times a week; I was pining away the hours for him in between studying to be an elementary school educator, getting into all sorts of shenanigans with wonderful friends, and photo-documenting the whole thing.
Today, I am married to that pine-worthy man; we have one adorable and lively 10-month old daughter, and one baby boy due in January; we are now living in Provo, Utah where the hubby is in his final year of undergrad for Mechanical Engineering, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development, and where I now stay home with my sweet baby girl. Most of the pictures I take these days are of her, and they rarely get uploaded to share on facebook or even printed for a scrapbook.
Today, I got up at 7:09 with that baby girl and thanked my lucky stars that I'd already been able to get in a shower before she and my husband woke for the day; I kept her entertained, and washed dishes, and tidied the house, and took her in the stroller to go meet Daddy on campus for lunch.
My life is so different from what it once was. Some of the changes I am grateful for. Some I still find myself dreading from day-to day. I'm still trying to find where I fit into my own life, and I'm hoping that taking up writing again will help me do just that.
No more will this blog be just an attempt at a humorous travelogue. For now, it will be a mix of updates and ponderings, of comedy and tragedy and emotion.
I feel as though I'm no longer the college girl that would have stated the line that is my blog name. I guess, then, that makes me the college-going mom the title references.
Yay!! You're back.
