Blogging Break

It's been over 3 months now since I have blogged... that is a long time! 

I remember the thing that stopped my blogging.  That was when my grandma passed away in April.  I didn't want to blog until I wrote something about her, but every time I sat down to write a blog post dedicated to her, it just made me sad all over again.  I still have that post sitting in my drafts unfinished.  So I just didn't blog.

Then Scott went to Utah for four weeks for an away rotation for school, and it was really hard for me.  So I didn't blog.  There were good things that happened during that time that I should have blogged about.  Like when I got to visit Scott in Utah and spend time with my family.  Or when my friend Lindsay had her beautiful baby Annie and I got to hold her.  But then Robert and Lindsay moved to St. Louis with Annie and that was really hard.  So I didn't blog.

Scott came back from Utah and it was so nice to have him back!  But there was a looming reminder everyday that he would be leaving again in a few weeks for Seattle.  So I didn't blog. 

Scott left for Seattle for another four week away rotation and it was just as hard doing this the second time around.  I've had a really hard time being husbandless... so I didn't feel like blogging.  I went to Utah to see my family and had an amazing trip!  I should have blogged about that - it's actually still on my to do list:)  Then coming back to NY after the visit was really hard.  I didn't want to come back to be alone.  The weekends are the hardest.  Now, Scott comes back one week from Saturday, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  So the end of this lonely summer is coming and I finally feel like I want to blog again.  Things are looking up, and I'm feeling good about things again. 

I have realized in my blogging that I don't like to blog about things that are hard or make me sad.  These are the times that I sort of withdraw.  I have seen some of the things that my friends have gone through - really, really hard things.  Yet, they blog to share their experiences to help in their healing which could perhaps help someone else.  Sorry for the rambling, I just felt like I wanted to explain why I've been MIA on this blog for a while.  I'm back now, and life is good!
