Hi! I’m back from vacation

April 23, 2013 By Erika Zane

23 Apr

Hi.  I never just write here anymore.

I mean, for the last few months, it’s either been a post about one of the boys, a Wordless Wednesday, or my weekly #aHeartFitFriday post.

It’s not that I don’t think about posting every day.  I do.  It just feels like my days fill up so quickly with a million other things.  That, and at the end of the day I usually choose to unwind with a book or a show where I can just completely relax and take stuff in rather than communicate.

Okay, so at this point I was about to go into how I’m somewhat shy, yet consider myself an Extrovert, but I’m not really sure, blah blah blah…  Then I stopped and thought, “Why not find a personality test online?”
 
Stop.  Take this now if you don’t know yours offhand.  It takes approximately 5 minutes.
 
Drum roll please….
 
I’m, apparently, an ENTJ.  I feel like I’ve just be reintroduced to myself.

Hello self, nice to meet you.

So many things that never made any sense about my own behavior now suddenly click.  You know what I mean?  Self understanding is almost as complicated as getting to know others.  Or maybe that’s just a female thing?

 So what now?  Oh yeah, I just got back from a vacation!  I guess I’m enough on the edge of being an Introvert that I wanted to escape to somewhere relaxing and just, well, unhinge.

Andy and I celebrated five years of marriage last Thursday in Playa del Carmen at the Secrets Capri Riviera Resort, which is the same resort we visited on our honeymoon.  We left on Wednesday and returned late Sunday evening.  It was beautiful and relaxing and Andy and I definitely reconnected.

But… more on that tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday, because I need at least a 15 min nap before the boys wake up! 🙂

    I took that test, but I’ve completely forgotten what I am. I’m sure I have it somewhere, but apparently it didn’t matter much to me. I am who I am, and I’m happy with me. I don’t have to understand it. LOL

    I’m glad you got to take a vacation. I’m going on vacation (Panama City Beach, FL) at the end of May, and I’m SO looking forward to it. After all that has happened to my husband, we NEED a vacation. 🙁

    Happy anniversary #5! Treasure the time with the light of your life. Some people never find that kind of love. I’m so glad I did (30 years for me!), and I’m sure you’re just as blessed.

    Sorry I’ve been gone – traveling! Hope all is well! 🙂 I tried to take the test, the website fritzed out on me. Will try again another time! 🙂

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
