I'm saying goodbye.

Well...after much deliberation, talking and praying...

This is the LAST POST for Longhorn in Houston and for my blogging in general.

My decision came down to a few things:

• Is blogging time well spent?
• Can you blog without idolizing it?
• What do I REALLY care to write about?  THINGS?  People?  Materialism?  No.

The truth is...

I'm about to starting teaching a new grade level and it kinda probably really scares me.  I want to be a good steward of my time this fall and put forth my absolute best when planning, teaching and growing as an educator.  I also know that much of our extended family uses my blog to keep up with our lives...  Shame on me for allowing a website to update my family on my life.  I need to be more diligent in keeping in touch with those I love via more personal means.  I don't want my blog to be an idol...something that nags on me when I think "crap, I haven't written in a while...what can I write about?!"  Or thinking about making my blog bigger or better...?  It doesn't matter.  None of it matters.  

Will I want a blog when I have kids?  PROBABLY.  What an amazing way to keep track of their lives and milestones.  Will I realize that I want to have oneSINGULARfocus for my blog one day (i.e. teaching) and ONLY blog about that?  MAYBE.  If that time comes, it'll be a very fresh start.  

Until then...thank you for reading, caring, loving and following.  You might see me again...but not as Longhorn in Houston.
