middle of May already???

Wow- this month is flying by. I am not sure if thats a good thing or bad. I have missed the blogging world but I just cant seem to fit it in. We have had  a full two weeks. I have thought so many times- I gotta blog this but before I knew it its been two weeks and I can't even remember everything. I have been trying to make lots of to-do lists so I can feel a little more accomplished(there is just something great about making a big fat line through something that has been staring you in the face for the last month or so!) I am going to do a  list for the last two week...here goes nothing.

-We celebrated my wonderful husbands birthday! We went to eat at a very cool restaurant in Indy and then I got him a beer brewing kit!! The Taulman house now has a new 'brew-master'! I am so blessed to have been given the priviage to marry such an amazing man. He truly is a gift from God to me. On his birthday we had track practice and enjoyed an evening at home with a run and time with our newest family members...our kittens!

-Yes, we got two new kittens last week!!! They are so stinkin cute and lots of fun. Cookie & Cheerio are our newest family members and are adjusting to their new lives very well. We have had lots of good laughs and fun with them both. Hoss loves them too!

-We had a wonderful Mothers Day with our moms- we got to see both of them!! It is so awesome to have TWO mothers that love us so much.

-Track, Track & more Track. enough said.

-My first sr. photo session of the season was a huge success!! Loved it.

-Nathan started his brew.

-My prayer life has STUNK. I am struggling with it- this week will hopefully be better.

-We started running again- Nathan is training for a tri-athalon in June. I am so proud of him!

-I am working on some new things for 721. :)

-The school year is coming to an end- I have no idea if I have a job next year- that is a little stressful.

-Nathan has been studying ALOT. I still dont know how he does it but he pretty much rocks!

-have had three very vivid dreams with my dad alive in them in the last week. love those and hate them at the same time. I wake up emotionally exhausted and missing him so much. 

-Its been raining all weekend. Had to cancel a photo session but got my to-do list almost done!!

-Our house still has not sold. I am so frustrated with it and have shed alot of tears because of it. I know we can't do anything else about it but its hard to just sit back and wait.

-This week is track sectional- I am feeling a little bitter sweet that it is coming to an end. I have LOVED coaching with Nathan and this had been the best group of girls.We have had so much fun, shared lots of laughs, watched them improve so much and feel like we have done a good job with them. I truly enjoyed coaching this track season,. I will miss them but will be glad to be have a non-coaching life back for a week or so before volleyball starts up again.

-so thankful for my wonderful friends and family. They make life better. 

- my to-do list is almost finished and I want to get it totally done before tonight so I am off to finish it.

Hi, I'm Erin and you are???

That is just about how the conversation Nathan and I had on Saturday morning went. I am pretty sure our drive to Indy was the first conversation we had had together in about a week!! Our days have been consumed with track, MBA classes, volleyball, meetings, school, a hair apt(a long overdue must!), and online workshops. Last week was nuts, and I have a feeling from the look of things the next few weeks are not going to get any less nuttier! I have missed blogging but I just can't seem time to fit it in. After this week I have decided I need to start planning out my weeks on Sunday nights. I think it might help reduce the stress and feeling of being totally overwhelmed! Yuck.
We are currently at moms in Indy and I don't have my computer or I would be busy editing instead if blogging. Let's just say I am ready for summer vacation so I can get back to somewhat of a less nuttiness(if that is even a word!!!) life. Until then...
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart.
