bits and pieces.

i have about six 'drafts' of posts just sitting on my post list. but that's kind of what life has been like lately. there are interesting things to say, or important things to say...but they kind of just stay there. i leave them there, jot them down, and hope to expand on them eventually. but, i never really get there. and i think that's okay? i mean, this blog isn't really for show and tell...it's kind of just me writing and whoever wants to take a gander can. but i'm not promoting it anywhere and i kind of keep it hidden. so seeing those unpublished posts still makes me think...even if they never get published. and it helps me sort out my thoughts when i jot them down- even if i haven't been able to expand on them yet. i guess that's what writing is for me. it's not show and tell. it's just letting my thoughts flow, even if they are incomplete. some may stay that way. some may eventually show up here. but for now, just doesn't really matter.

what have i been up to? well...i moved home ten days ago to a house packed with family. for the first time in forever, all four of us kids are living at home. i also was blessed to have a job working at the school in town for two weeks, so i've been keeping pretty busy. never mind the fact that i haven't unpacked yet (it's difficult moving everything from my apartment into a 10 x 12 room that i share with my little sister), but working with elementary kids is highly entertaining- and kind of intriguing. it's tiring waking up way earlier than i have in a very long time- but realizing this job was god-given and a blessing makes it much easier. i'm thankful. i spent the weekend meeting keagan's relatives from new mexico- and we had SO much fun. guns, graduation, works bombs, campfires, twins game, etc. it was one of the best weekends i've had in as long as i can remember. this week it was back to working at the pool and the school (confusing kids who don't know whether to call me hannah, or miss hildebrandt...). i'm almost unpacked and enjoying life.

life is a blessing- even when things are hard, busy, etc..and i'm realizing that more and more.
