It's been awhile. I promised myself I would start blogging again and I always said I could find time, but I have to be honest... I haven't found time. Life is crazy. A wonderful kind of crazy that I'm incredibly thankful for, but crazy nonetheless.
Keelie turned 1 last month. I don't even know how that's possible, but it happened. She's the sweetest blessing and I still can't believe I get to be her mommy. Brody is going strong at 3 1/2, full of mischief as ever. He increases my gray hairs on a daily basis, but makes up for it in cuddles and hugs. Tanner just turned 6 and is thriving in kindergarten. He has such a kind heart and I'm so proud of the little man he's becoming.
As for Tyler and I, we've been busy too. We celebrated 9 years of marriage this month.
There have been some big changes for both of us on the work front too. Just last month, I took over the chiropractic office I've been in for 7 years. This has all been a total God thing that I wish I could find time to elaborate on. Bottom line, I'm so grateful for the change as this has always been a dream of mine! It also means I'm now running an entire office and that takes much more of my time than it used to. I was able to rebrand my office name and I'm currently in the midst of some office renovations. It's equal parts of fun and stressful, but it's awesome overall. I'm still only at the office part time, which is something I refuse to compromise on because my babies are my priority and these years are so short.
A few years ago I started using essential oils to boost our immune systems and get better sleep, which has unexpectedly turned into another business in my life (again, all God). I now use oils for literally everything and I have become passionate about sharing and getting oils into more homes. I teach classes and educate others on how to live a chemical free life. It's tons of fun and I've met some of the most awesome women along the way. Feel free to follow me on Instagram at @dropsofhealth or on my website HERE to learn more about essential oils.
Tyler has had some big changes too. I don't know if I ever posted about his job change a few years ago to be closer to home, but since then his boss has moved on and Tyler is now completely running the civil engineering side of his company! He went from working in a cubicle to running an office in the course of about 5 years. I'm so proud of him and he deserves every bit of this. Again, all glory to God.
With Tyler and I both running offices, my side business of essential oils, and keeping up with our three kids, life is crazy right now and blogging just hasn't been the priority I would like it to be. Many days Tyler and I are just trying to keep our heads above water and thinking of how we can sneak out for a date night, but I am so thankful for every minute of the crazy. I know I'll soon miss this stage, so I'm embracing the crazy and soaking up each crazy minute. I'm not shutting down our blog and maybe/hopefully I'll be able to come back to it one day soon. Until then, I do take a million pictures of our daily life and post them on Instagram, so feel free to keep up with us there @chirokristin.
Thank you for those of you who have reached out to check on us and see what we are up to. Love you all!
