okay, so i know i've been a bit of a putz when it comes to actively blogging. and i apologize. i've recently been in this personal slump and that has left me devoid (is that a word?) of any inspiration to post or put up pictures. and further more, my mother in law has most of our christmas pictures on her camera, so that's another excuse not to blog, seeing as i have no exciting pictures. lately, i've been sorta down, if i can be so honest. and this is my blog, so i will. it's been a lonely time for me lately, and when you feel like one thing is wrong in your life, it is much easier to point out others, isn't it? well, i have been feeling lonely, gained 5 pounds over the holiday, have some weird rash disease on my chin (slight exaggeration, but still, what the heck is it?), and yeah, feeling generally blah. in the mood where you want to wear swear pants all day every day and only put jeans on for church. (but insist that church should have a "pajama day"). and thankfully for my husband, he's put up with me and all my moodiness, tears, and grumpiness. he's let me stay in jammies, listen to me complain about the same thing over and over again, and just be plain ugly. thankfully he's also been encoraging to me when i've need to to, and lately, it's been working. i've decided that i don't want to be in that slump no' mo' and i'm trying to get out of it. (i was also inspired by taylor swift's song "fearless"- i'm telling you, i think that 18 year old and i could be good friends). so one step of getting myself back on track is blogging. so here we go.
so do many of you have close girlfriends? or, for that matter, a close girlfriend? like in "bride wars" (fun movie if you have the chance to see it) they go running together, talk on the phone together, go shopping together, borrow sugar from each other, and the whole nine yards. you know friends like that? where you can call your friend up about something completely random and not need to have a whole conversation to catch up with each other? or know that if you have to go to the mall this weekend, you'll take her, because, i mean, who else would you go with? well, i don't know if it's only in movies, but i've been feeling an intense need for that. a close girlfriend. and i know i just moved to this area and it takes time...but i'm not the kind of girl that can survive that long on her own. so if a friend like this exists, let me know. or if you have one, you'd better hand her over to me!
so that's what's been on my heart lately. maybe tonight i'll post pictures of the hocker family christmas and other things.
oh- and james' birthday is rapidly approaching. one year! holy smokes. i'll keep you posted with the plans.

In response to your blog, no I do not have a close girlfriend like that.... that I can call up in the middle of the night share my woes, go shopping with, swap funny stories... I have actually been feeling down myself in the whole friend department. I try to reach out to my friends --- but I ain't gettin' nothing back! It's frustrating and discouraging. The one girlfriend that I thought I could have this with -- well her sister moved out here and moved in with HER, which means they are together all of the time! Sister moved in, friend got kicked to the curb.... more thoughts to come!
I totally understand about the need for a friend like that. I think God has been teaching me that there are so many seasons in life and so many different levels of friendship. And they are constantly changing!!
I've found to be "content" to the extent that I can be until I meet that person. The only thing i've found is to find other things to do to fill my time.
It's tiring to start new relationships!
Not much help, but know others are in the same boat!
Oh honey, you KNOW I can relate to you on the friend front, b/c I have been complaining about making friends pretty much my entire life. You can call me to talk to about it anytime you want!
And I also can relate to your moody slump, b/c I think I have about four of those a month. Do call and vent. It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one who gets like that!
