Sending My Love: 3 YEARS Later!

Holy guacamole you guys! It has nearly been 3 years, THREE YEARS! since I made my last blog post. So much has happened I don't really even know where to begin. Well, I guess I'll start off by saying we have since made a new addition to our family. Our beautiful daughter Lila joined our family in September of 2013 and has been the biggest blessing I have ever received. Each day she teaches me something new and I don't know how my heart is still in my chest because it grows so much bigger every day with all the love I have for her (yes, sappy... but completely true).

In January of 2014 the Marine Corps sent Ray (and the rest of us) to be stationed in Virginia. It was a little sad moving from the base where I learned spent my first years as a military spouse. It felt like home, and the friends we made there felt like home. To be honest, since our move, it has been such an adjustment and I still feel like I'm readjusting every week. I still can't say that I feel like this place is our "home," but maybe we're getting there. Or maybe in a few years when we move, that's when it will feel like home. Ray has also since been promoted, which has brought on new responsibilities and a slightly different schedule. (Like I said, readjusting every week!)

At the beginning of September of 2014 I started daily vlogging on my YouTube channel. It was a lot of fun, but it also took up a good chunk of time that I knew I could be spending with Lila and Ray. After the holidays ended (we were able to travel to Missouri and visit family) I unofficially ended the daily vlogs. I absolutely love that I have those memories of our daily life during that time to look back on for years to come (especially since I was able to capture her first birthday festivities)! I will still do vlogs every now and then, but haven't completely settled on specific days. Don't you worry though, I'll be sure to let you know when I resume them!

For months now I've been feeling like I have some type of creativity inside me and it's trying to get out but just can't figure out how to express it properly. I'm still not sure if the way I should do it is through blogging, vlogging, home decorating, or just coloring in coloring books. So please bear with me while I figure myself out and also figure out this blog. It's still under construction, so please avert any judging eyes.
