Hi Deb,
Thanx for your question.  Your plant just needs to be pruned.  Is the plant in a particularly shady area?  This can cause legginess.  Also, too much nitrogenous fertilizer can cause this.  If you are getting lawn chemicals into the soil near the shrubs this can cause legginess.  Most likely though, it's just the plant growing and needing a trim.  Sounds like it's healthy to me.  I hope this helps.
Tom
