Guess Who's Back...Back Again?! ...thank you Marshall Mathers...

Oh hello there...again...blogging world! It has been at least 8 years since I touched my blog. I sort of forgot about it until one of my best friends responded something I would hashtag mind blowing to a text I sent him. I won't share my text but I will share his response. He responded "YOU NEED A HOBBY." Ok, not in all caps but that's how my eyes registered it for my brain. I will also say that this is not the first time he's told me this. 

The response got me thinking back...waaaay back...to when I rarely spent more than 8 hours at home when I wasn't working because each weekend, I would wake up, eat something, get dressed, AND GET OUT! Whether I grabbed my camera and tripod to go shoot the world, threw on my running shoes and ran at Ala Moana beach park, or scheduled a day date with a friend or two...I made time for myself and "did stuff".

For this post, let's get reacquainted!  I'll bullet point for you what has changed in the last 8 years and to help me add content to this blog, each of those bullet points will have it's own article.

In the last 8 years I have:
  • Gotten remarried
  • Changed jobs...twice.
  • Moved homes...4 times.
  • Made it on the Wheel of Fortune.
  • Had not 1 but 2 more children: Weston Edward & Oliver Jon
  • Bought and fully renovated a house.
  • Had my oldest child graduate from high school.
  • Sold the condo we owned for 21 years.
  • Gained 20 lbs...Lost 24 lbs.
This list may grow if I remember some other milestone-ish kind of stuff. I will insert random articles in between to keep things interesting.
