2013 - a new journey... with LOTS of thankfulness!

It's been quite a journey I've been walking on the last 5 years. So much to think about to actually BLOG, because some things should be kept private... So what can be said?

I've definitely had some ups and downs...

The kids are great.

My Love is wonderful.

God is amazing.

I am truly blessed to be where I am, a place of my own, OUR own... a job I really do enjoy... friends and family who have been so awesomely supportive.

I learned that not everything goes as smoothly as I would like, and that's okay.

God is always in control. Once I started to understand, I knew I could leave things up to Him and somehow, it all works out. I don't know why or how, but it just does.

I'm proud of my kids. Truly. Even though #1 is not going to school, she's learning. And you know what? She's so much more open and understanding now than before. When she's ready for school, just like God... she'll go. The Mommy in me says "soon???" But really, I know, it's up to her. I'm still so proud.

Number 2 child is doing okay. Onto her 2nd (yes 2nd) bf, and well, as long as school is still good, and she's not side tracked TOOO MUCH... she is definitely very different from her sister. Very sociable, very talkative. At least they are both good to each other. They support each other the way how my sister and I were (and ARE)! Get along, "borrow" stuff.. fight.. hug.. lots of tears... still strong.

My little man... so ready to be with me. He's so kind, and loving and thoughtful. I know he's already a wonderful young man. He still kisses his Mommy in public (proud moment) and does what he is told. Oh yes, he has his moments, but his love out weighs the icky stuff.

My Love... what can I say? I would've never been in Grace Group if you hadn't pushed me. Thank you. I wouldn't have been as strong as I am now, if you didn't encourage me. I hope I am able to be a better person for you!

God is good... All the time! He is amazing. I realized that at church yesterday... that I don't mind talking about God and love and going to church. No shame, just IS.

I have amazing friends and family - sis, Arn, soccer moms, co-workers, cousins, friends... so loving, so supportive. Thank you.

And to my Guardian Angel - My Mommy.. It's been 16 years yesterday... and although I miss you I know you're here, watching over all of us... thank you for being YOU.
