hi.
i'm finally blogging again. it's a multi-tasking-type-of-a-blog-post.
you see, i'm in the bathroom while Ellie busily splishes and splashes with her crazy-bath-antics and i'm making myself write something, anything, from my phone. i've wanted to write about so many things lately-- but i seem to have been in a funk of sorts. not sure the exact cause of the funkiness- but there has been a lot going on the last few weeks:
a lot of emotions.
a lot of excitement.
a lot of grumpiness (of which i will graciously spare the details).
a lot of lonely moments now that M is officially a working man.
a lot of fun moments deciding paint colors and backyard landscaping and favorite baseboards.
a lot of stressful moments making all of theses house decisions with a crazy 16 month old who firmly believes the world is her stage...and therefore acts out randomly and in the most inconvenient ways possible.
a lot of anxious moments wondering how all this house stuff will come together.
a lot of visits to see the "puntins" (pumpkins) in various locations throughout Utah and northern California.
a lot of costume planning (you know me and my Chapman-family-costume-ensembles....you just wait for our reveal this year. it's gonna be epic).
a lot of missing family and friends.
a lot of chasing a crazy child in every direction imaginable.
a lot of wishing i was better at putting myself out there to be kind and make new friends.
a lot of phone conversations to make up for my lack of friend-making-skills.
and a lot of unsolicited (and solicited) love, snuggles, hugs and kisses from Ellie (and mr. M, of course) to help me feel that what President Gordon B Hinckley once said is very true:
it will all work out.
and so i wrote a lot about a lot of nothing.
and will now promise to write something with substance tomorrow.
or maybe the next day.
xoxo

I totally understand the "getting out there" to make new friends. After college and before we were married, my husband and I moved back to his home town. I knew no one except him and his parents. It sucked. I was lonely for my college friends. Four years later and two kids I barely have time for the friends I did make. It will all work out! Wish I lived closer. I'd be your friend and our crazy children could drive each other crazy, but Auburn isn't too close to the bay!
it WILL all work out! I need to be reminded of that a lot, so thanks for the wonderful post! I enjoyed talking to you last week and can't wait till our next chat!
I love your fluff Marci. It took me awhile to put myself out there when we moved here 18 years ago. Now I feel like I've always lived here. Whenever you're ready, you'll find what you need. You're the Marci...Love you. RaeAnn
Oh how I always love your posts because I relate all too well!
I wanna hear about the house!!!
