Time has definitely punished me on this blog. It has been a while since the last time that I checked in here. I am sorry for that, but life is crazy in the Evans household and I don't normally get a chance to sit at my computer until late at night. Several times I have started a post and woke up many hours later with 85 lines of "d" - and I don't feel that is something that anyone would be interested in.
On to catching up with my life. Over the past few weeks, Morgan has turned 5. Yeah, that says 5 - I cannot believe how quickly the past 5 years have gone. This is how life as changed since Morgan was born. I graduated from NOBTS, we moved to Covington, bought a house, started a full time ministry and then a part time ministry, was promoted from Shift supervisor to Assistant Manager to Store Manager at Starbucks. Janel has changed jobs twice (UNO to Cox to Poolcorp), we bought and paid for a car. Where has the time gone? I am so proud of her. Janel (as she is reading this) is saying to herself ,"really?" cause Morgan and I admittedly have a difficult relationship. We are the same person, and I bug the crap out of myself! We have all the same unsavory qualities (our unbreakable attention to the TV is the one that annoys Janel the most - there are times both Morgan and I will be standing in the middle of the living room glued to a commercial and Janel could push us over like she was cow tipping). But even though she can get on my nerves, and vice versa, Morgan is one of the most beautiful, loving, caring, intelligent, well spoken 5 year olds I have ever met.
Mothers day and Morgan's birthday were on the same day, and luckily Morgan choose to go to a Hibachi restaurant. She likes the fire volcano, but Maddie was not a fan and she let everyone know it. Overall it was a good day.
Janel has completed several more 5k races and is getting faster with each one. She is now at 60 pounds lost. I have started running again, and time is not a friend of mine. I use to run cross country in HS. I could complete a 5k in 21 mins, which is not great but okay. Now the only way I am completely and 5k in 21 minutes is if I start running at the start and then the ambulance will pick me up when I past out at the 1.5 mile mark. I am ssssllllloooooooowwwwlllllllyyyyy getting back into shape and running form. I have lost 22 pounds since the start of my journey of lifestyle change.
Well I think I unloaded enough for this post. I will be back later this week with some more life lessons and thoughts. But until that happens - "Time is wasting. Time is walking. It ain't no friend of mine. You don't know where I'm going. I think I'm out of my mind, thinking about time."
Don't let time get away from you, I am beginning to understand what people mean when they told me that I would blink and Morgan would be walking down the aisle. I know for sure I am not going to blink any time soon
