Blogging Break

I have been contemplating taking a break for awhile. For many reasons I need a break.
Blogging has been good for me to get know people better and realize there are people I do not know well and I want to invest some time to get to know them and their family better.

Blogging has been a way for me to express things and share important things going on in my life.
Blogging has been a way to share a laugh and enjoy everyone's crazy experiences in life.

Blogging helped me to realize I still loved writing and it was a great release for me. "The Black Heart" may end up as a book yet.

Blogging was a way for me to get positive feed back and kind of boost a low self-esteem.

For those reasons and more I am sure I will return to blogging at some point.
I have enjoyed reading blogs and being able to share in your lives and the things that are important to you.
I plan to continue that, but in person. I want to continue to develop real friendships and enjoy the ones that God has already given me.
Really i have nothing exciting to say and when I work in the summer it is all I can do to be wife & Mom and keep my sanity.
hopefully when I return I will have something worth saying......... maybe a week, maybe a month who knows, it is a crazy world out there.
( Crazy stuff happens on the construction site, i might have more to say than what I think)

A Whole Bunch of Nothing

* This for you Miriam, since you miss me so much:)


What has been going on in the Kemerly house the last few months:

Soccer is over ( officially on Sat.) Randy will miss it. He enjoys it so much. He is such a good Daddy! The boys will miss it too.

We met some wonderful people through soccer.

God has re-inforced our desire to foster/adopt by bringing the most amazing people into our lives. (That is a whole story in itself. ) I just don't know how it will all fall into place.

Randy & my brother and Matt (Thanks Matt, you don't know how much we all appreciated your help!) put a new roof on my parents house.

We have more big decisions to make in life. It just never seems to quit. There is always some sort of conflict. I keep asking God to tell me what I need to learn because I am tired of going around these mountains!

The boys and I are reading our way through the Chronicles of Narnia. They love it and it is sparking the most interesting conversations. I am amazed at the things they want to know about God and what they already grasp.

randy & I celebrated our 11th anniversary. I can say we are more in love now than when we first married. We truely are best friends and I can't imagine my life without him.

I am soon to go back to work for the summer. I am looking forward to it. Especially after I convinced my Dad & Brother I was NOT kidding about never flagging traffic again!

We are done with year 2 of homeschooling. We are going to try it again next year.too. It was a challenge to home school and foster at the same time, but one of the wonderful people we met through soccer also homeschools and fosters. They helped me to see that I wasn't a total failure at it. I was just human. I couldn't do it all.

So in a nutshell that's what we have been up to. Nothing profound just trying to find our way and be obedient to God. Not always an easy thing to do.
