Documenting Worth Documenting
Today marks 1 month that I have written in my journal every.single.day. This is a HUGE accomplishment for me considering before this 99% of my journal entries began with, "Wow. It's been a year (+) since I have written in here." Then that same entry usually ends with, "I'm going to be better at writing in this thing." Then another year passes and the next entry begins and ends the same way.
With the start of the new year I decided keeping a real journal would be good for me. I am actually surprised with how much I have enjoyed writing! I feel like often times being home with Ev makes me feel super unproductive compared to socializing and being an active part of the "real world". It's been kind of liberating to write down what I did actually do that day let alone things I thought about/felt while being at home with this cute lil girl. I think I'll enjoy reading about our morning runs, games we played and things that made her laugh once she is too big to think I'm funny anymore.
I am amazed at how quickly time passes. I was looking back on previous journal entries from when I met Daniel and when we dated and were engaged. It seems like all of that happened last week. I can't believe I have known Daniel for almost 4 years and that we have been married for almost 3! Everyday I find myself wishing that time will slow down but it's just not happening. My child is 1/2 a year old. My husband will be a DENTIST next year. I am turning 23 this year. Barf. Is it bad that in my head I am still 17 years old? I wonder if that feeling will ever change. I kind of hope not.
Anyway, blogs are great and everything but you don't say everything you want to on a blog. (At least I would hope people wouldn't). I highly recommend giving journal writing a thought. It sounds like a cheesy thing to do, but I think you'll be glad you did it :)
At the moment Evalyn is standing on my lap making me go deaf by screaming in my face. Girls got some lungs. Oh my goodness.
