So very long


It has been a long time - almost 8 months - since I last posted.  There were reasons, some of which are still relevant and others that are not.  Life is interesting (yes, sometimes interesting ala the 'Serenity' definition) and much water has flowed under the bridge since I last set down my thoughts here.  My son got married and added a granddaughter to our lives in the process.   Two of my girls became pregnant and delivered healthy baby girls (3 weeks apart) - yes I will post pictures when I remember to do so.  Aaron signed up for the Army although he hasn't left for training yet.  Another birthday has passed and we now have concrete in our backyard.  We started the process of "plugging in" at our church by joining a couples study that lasted 10 weeks (we did Sacred mMarriage and iMarriage).

This time of year can be difficult, especially in blended families or when the family has scattered (in our case both are true).  This holiday season has the potential to be a very one.   I plan to grasp that potential and hold on for the ride.

blessings on your day
