The Huckablogs and the State of our Union

I keep writing posts and deleting them because I am not sure what I want to say. How much information do I want to share? How much do you want to know? Is anyone still reading or is this the ultimate exercise in futility?
Lets start with a review. Blog started in December of 2007 with me trying to force myself into a job that I knew was not right for me. March 2008, I gave it up and with the help of a new job for The Husband the decision was made for me to be a stay at home mom. I loved it but was let’s face it… lonely. I blogged to get my words out. To connect with long lost friends and family members….and it helped. Fall 2008 I joined a playgroup and MOPS. I make friends who I can talk to without feeling like I am boring them with stories of my kid, my job. I become involved. I become very involved, I find my self forcing a blog that is nice to rant on or post cute pictures….but has already lost some of the luster I was aiming for. This problem gets worse. January 2010. I contemplate pulling the plug, but don’t because I see in the future the need for updates, and maybe an anonymous support system to help with, gasp, post partum depression. I also happen to be weaning off of my Lexapro and taking my folic acid for the same reasons. I have nasty withdrawal symptoms and explain my lack of blogging. You respond with support. Thanks.
April 2010, I have surgery! Organs get pulled out through my belly button. I am fine, I am recovering, I will be fine. But something……has come up. Something I don’t really feel like I need to advertise because my family does deserve privacy. The State of our Union is this: Shaken but Strong. I love my husband and he loves me and our marriage is a strong one. All three of us are healthy and happy. There will not be a huckababy for a long time, and that is fine too. We have a house, and two cars, and plenty to eat. We will be fine.
My photography business is booming and I spend my spare minutes editing photos instead of blogging, and I feel discouraged when I do think about blogging, because all of my closest blog buddies have let their blogs die….or they are barely hanging on. I guess I am building to this. Love you. Really I do. But I am taking away all feelings of guilt for not blogging, I started it, and I can end it. I will not give up the domain, but it may be awhile before you see me again. So..later.

I don’t think you should feel guilty. As much as I love reading your words (you have a way with them) and knowing what is going on in your world, I also understand. Looking forward to seeing you next month (is that still on?). Please call or e-mail me so we can chat. Love you.
It’s okay. You’re a photographer and a Facebooker now. We can keep up with you there even better than we did here. You have more important things to deal with than keeping up the blog…you’ve grown beyond the forum, perhaps. Maybe a quick line every few months will be all you feel like doing here and then someday, like the piano and me, you’ll find you miss it and come back to it. Who knows?
Love you.
Yeah, see…Facebook is just so much more convenient for me…I hate to say I told you so.
I hope you are recovering quite nicely.
Know that I love you and am praying for you and the rest of the Huckablogs!
Your unguilty semi-blogless buddy,

Hope you are recovering well, our prayers are with you guys. If you have a break in your family portraits and would like to hit the baseball fields please call. When Conway starts playing there is opportunity for work every night but Wednesday.
