Life – Moving, Motivation & Baptisms

Hello everyone! Yes, it’s me. I know, I know, I’ve been away for a while and there hasn’t been a life update in a really long time, but fear not! Today I am going to tell you everything that’s been going on in my life recently. So buckle up, this might take a while. 

Let’s see…where to begin. Let’s start with my motivation. I have had zero motivation to write lately and it stinks, because I’ve wanted to write, but I felt as if I had nothing to write about. Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? Does anyone else sometimes feel like the things they write about don’t matter and that nobody cares? Lol. That’s how I’ve been feeling lately. To say I have been in a slump is an understatement. I don’t know. I’m not sure what’s been wrong. Maybe it’s because I’ve been exhausted with everything else going on. 

In other news (and another reason why I haven’t been able to write), Lea and I have decided to sell our house. We built it two years ago and it stinks to sell it, but it’s what’s best for our family. When we built this house I was under the assumption I would continue working from home. However, as some of you know from my other posts, I have been going into the office (in Chicago) three days a week, and the commute is horrible. So, to cut my commute time in half, we are moving closer to the train and to my mom (which will make it easier for her to babysit). 

We also need more room. This kid takes up so much space with all his things! Lol. Also, and I’m not saying we’re doing this, nothing has been decided, but what if we adopt again? We’re going to eventually need more space. So that is another reason we have been preparing to sell our home. I will still be in the region so my blog will still be relevant! It’s been exciting, frustrating, and exhausting all at the same time. So lack of motivation and preparing to move have been the key causes to me not finding time or energy to write. 

Speaking of energy, I have started lifting again and going to the gym. It’s been helping me a lot and I feel really good. I missed the way I felt and looked. Last week was my first day back in six months! I was getting a bit of a dad bod, so it’s been great going back on the treadmill lol. I feel better physically and mentally. However, I haven’t been able to go this past week, which sucks because I was starting to get a routine going again. We’ve been a little busy. Baby O was recently baptized into the Orthodox church! 

He was such a good baby and did way better than we thought he would do. Of course, he was looking cute as heck in his little outfit. It was such a special day for all of us, but especially him. Since this was such a special day, we had a house filled with family members! It was getting a little wild in here, but it was fun. Again, another reason why we need a new home with more space lol.

Beside all of that, I can’t really think of what else has been going on. Just work mainly. It hasn’t been too bad recently, and the weather has been great which makes the commute easier. I took the day off today because our realtor came over with the photographer to take pictures of our house. It should be listed by the end of the week! Now that they are gone, Baby O is napping and when he wakes up he’s going to eat, and then we are going to go pick up some lunch for his mother and visit her at work. It will be a really good day. 

I’ve been trying to hop on and read what’s going on with all of you. I hope you’re all doing well. Have a great Tuesday!
