Because I didn't think we had enough to do, I decided our family needs a blog to update friends and family with the latest goings-on. Why? Bandawagons are for chumps, right? RIGHT. As I have come to find out I am, in fact, a chump.
So, the latest:
Tim and I are both going to school full time, while working full time, and taking care of our adorable and hilarious almost 7 month old (what?!?!) daughter. Tim is also a volunteer drumline instructor at North Salem HS with some old line buddies from high school, he does orchestra at least one season a year with the Portland Mormon Choir and Orchestra and though his band (Crossing 13th) has recently disbanded I know another project will soon present itself. Other than school, work and Anna I try to find time to keep my writing skills sharp with various projects that I never get around to finishing (I need to follow up on that local magazine thing...)and am slowly giving in to the fact that I enjoy small and non-cheesy craft-type projects.
Everyone always asks, "how do you do it? I thought *I* was busy!" I get that at least once a day. In all honesty, we have no idea. We don't even maintain a calendar. If we did it would look ridiculous and we would have to use very tiny writing. We're both from the school of "if there's something we need to do, we just do it." Yeah, it's stressful and there are some nights when we don't get a chance to talk until right before we go to sleep after midnight, but we know it isn't a permanent situation. Maybe. I hope it isn't. We find time to have a date night, play Wii, or just watch a couple of hours of whatever we have on DVR. We make it work.
Our life in a nutshell: hectic, but we love it.
H's and K's,
Mary (and Tim and Anna)
