to simply live

I have found myself overwhelmed with our Koch activities and the avalanche the recent activities have caused. Not all the recent Koch activities have been negative.

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving; followed by my toe impalement; followed by our crazy home mold situation; followed by the preparation for Brittany's wedding; followed by our amazing Christmas; followed by my daughters beautiful wedding; followed by a visit from my dad and his wife Kathy; followed by Lauren's trip preparation; followed by Lauren's emotional move to Australia; followed by the recent avalanche of chaos.

Chaos is something I do not care to share my life with. So now is the time to make changes. Wonderful, beautiful changes that will bring fresh air to my life.

We are going to read some books as a family to put everything in perspective and then go room to room and simplify our living. Not just get rid of junk; actually simplify everything.

I am so excited I can hardly stand myself. I want to bring order and peace into my home. I want to have time to paint and create without the loom of tasks undone over my head. I am tired of doing unnecessary things daily that corrupt my time with my family.

A life without constant dishes to wash or constant laundry to be done. No more clutter to be dusted and put away.

There are people to serve and canvas to paint and life to live. I am unable to do what I want and need to do in this present state of my homestead.

My girls are as excited as I am for our new FREE life is just around the corner. It will take some work but will be so worth it.

Here we go Kochitas!
