Where Does the Time Go

this is me. have we met? i haven't posted to our blog in so long, i thought i might reintroduce myself. my name is kim, and i started this blog to share the real life tales of my life with my wife Sarah. like a "day in life" story -- except i accidentally skipped a few months. it happens right? life, that is. not sure what has happened since we left off. more states have secured the right to marriage equality, which is huge. but our state of Pennsylvania still lags behind the times. not quite sure why. but it does. hopefully that will change soon, especially with a change in governor. i am hoping for allyson schwartz to take office myself. anyways, politics bores people. me included. so, how are ya? great i hope!

this summer and fall have been crazy busy -- lots of photo sessions for me, and family time mixed in there - cutting acres and acres of grass at the homestead, getting a horrendous case of poison oak (purposefully did not photo document that), om-ed and had an awkward dance party with a few friends and hundreds of strangers at wanderlust philly, spent time with friends, took more photos that i can possibly process. when i die, there will be a large unedited archive for my future children to explore, not by design but by default of not having enough time in each day. i have taken to a new practice of deep breathing to combat my anxiety about the fleeting nature of time. i don't know if it's because i recently turned 36, but i just have this feeling like there is not enough time to do everything I want to do, to live an interesting adventure-full, fearless life, to get my to-do list done because it keeps growing...

anyway, today was our 3rd wedding anniversary. we have been so busy, we both had to run out at the end of the day to get each other cards. i even wrote mine out with sarah in the room. no time. but we made time, because you have to. we went out to one of our favorite mexican restaurants, drove down a one way street by accident on the way home, avoided oncoming traffic and found ourselves in the parking lot of the dog training place we have been wanting to check out. we walked in and it was like a therapy session -- i told the lady at the desk all about how i had to walk maggie 7 miles today to get her to settle down. sarah was like "beige, you talk too much. and you have something in your teeth." that's pretty much me. anyway, we signed maggie up for classes -- so here goes nothing! i think she will enjoy it. and i hope that through the agility training and therapy dog training she will have her energy in check. i definitely got the smart, high energy dog i wanted. now i could just teach her how to edit pictures we would be all set.

so much to share... but, i am tired. it's almost midnight and my day starts by 6. so it's time for bed. but i wanted to take the time to restart the blog. to say hello. and to get back in the swing of setting aside a little time for reflection and storytelling. have a good night, and talk to you soon!

next time i write, i am planning to share some cool 'artsy' stuff i have come across. art is so enriching, and so worth the few minutes to check it out at least online... ok, till next time :).

xo,
kim

we ended the night with a little modern family on tv. sarah is the cutest all bundled up right?
