SO, here it is. My entrance into the blogging world! Well, sort-of…
In my attempt to keep people informed and updated and “in the know” about all things Murphy, I have somehow gotten myself wrapped up into SEVERAL different websites. A constant procrastinator, I find myself catching up on those websites one by one, usually finishing the last update just in time to update the first one again. Sorry, Shutterfly, Myspace, Totsites, Facebook. We have to break up. I had real good intentions, but it just didn’t work out for me. It’s not you. It’s me. (OK, so I could NEVER ever break up with Facebook. I really love it lately. I’m borderline addicted)
Life is flying by in an unbelievable blur. I didn’t mind when the days and weeks and months went by fast before Cooper (ESPECIALLY during the school year), but gosh… He was 6 months old on April 5th. He’s half of a year old. And in no way could I have ever prepared myself for how quickly he would grow. People always say.. “They grow up so fast.” It’s such a cliché! It doesn’t mean anything until you actually see someone grow up right in front of your eyes. Man, they really do grow up SO fast. I would be willing to slow down this time in his life. I could handle the first year or two going by MUCH slower and the teenage years going by MUCH faster. Let’s all talk to God about that.
Spring is my favorite-avorite time of the year. The weather has been amazing, and I love watching everything turn bright and green. I love that the extra daylight helps us to enjoy it longer. The world kind-of wakes up. It’s too bad our cars have to turn yellow in order for everything to turn green. Still - - It’s a beautiful time of the year. A sure sign of spring in our neck of the woods is when the dogwood trees bloom. If you’ve never heard legend of the dogwood tree you should look into it. Chad first told me about it and I love being reminded of the story every year. My cousins have a blog that they keep regularly updated (www.ichoosetolove.com) that reveals an awesome analogy about winter turning into spring. It is beautifully written and I guess it was a motivator for a blog on this particular subject. I think that the words I read there will, like the dogwood tree, be with me each year as we watch spring come to see us.
