2 months, 2 weeks and 2 changes

2 months and 2 weeks have led me to realize 2 changes that I would like to make on this here blog, but also reflect on 2 changes that have happened in the last 2 months and 2 weeks. Confused yet? I am!

It was about 2 months ago that we started the process to adopt the newest member of the Merino family: Boss aka jefesito aka perrito besador! It's been a big change to our lives, but something I wouldn't take back either. I've learned a lot about dogs, but also a bit more practically about being a 'parent' and how having something that relies on your care causes you to become less selfish - at least that's the feeling I've been facing (and it makes me somewhat more scared yet also slightly more prepared to have kids).

In the past 2 weeks I'm finding that I'm being challenged in how I live out my trust in God - namely that he has a superior plan for my life and I'm not going to get to know it before it unfolds. As I've come to realize this isn't just a time in my life that I'll experience, but rather a change that needs to happen long term and on an ongoing basis, I'm also thinking I need to make a change to how I view this blog. If I really want to make this a record of my life, then I've got to get a little more real about everything that happens in it. Not just the fluff and the food and the prettiness, but also the nitty-grittiness. Not to say that it'll be doom and gloom, but it does have to be real day-to-day. It's not called "pieces of a day in the life of the merinos' - it's a day, a whole day.
While I'm not sure about the practicality of changing this on my blog now, I do know that I'm going to making a different sort of effort to post about life more regularly on here (topic wise and # wise). And most of all, I'm going to be doing this posting stuff for me, to record my journey of life - all of it. Feel free to come along with me...or not. Either way, it's gonna be a wild ride!
