One Year Later

It's been one year since our little family made big changes and big moves. We have settled down into this new life of ours and I think we have adjusted....mostly.

I have rejoined the workforce, and the kids have adjusted to school....again, mostly.

When I set out to start this little blog, I had the intentions of being intentional in my life. I only get to do this thing once. There are no re-do's in life. I want to make the most of what I have been given. I like to think that for the most part, I have succeeded in that....mostly.

I know there have been bad days, boring days, and days I would rather forget. However, mixed into all those days are treasured memories and lessons I have learned. Life is short. Life is hard. Life is also so, so good. Life is worth it. Even if it is a day of sitting around building legos and watching movies and dressing baby dolls, I want to treasure it. (Legos and baby dolls are what it is all about recently anyways, so if you aren't building legos or dressing up baby dolls, well then, maybe you aren't doing it right!! lol)


I hope I continue learning these lessons plus more in the next year of this little journey. I know I am an unfinished product, I have a lot of work to be done for sure. I also know that God accepts me for who I am, faults and all. He can still use me, my family still needs me. My children love me even when I am not patient enough. My husband loves and accepts me for the work in progress that I am.

I hope to continue to record all these precious memories as time goes on. One day, many years down the road I can return to this sit and sit back and smile as I go through all our memories we have made. I will probably cry too, because well, that's me. If I have learned anything else this year, it has been my passion for my life. My children and my family are everything to me and I FEEL so fiercely about them. It's a feeling/emotion that is hard to describe, but once you have felt it, you never forget it.
