Realization...

Since my internal clock is set to get up at 5AM, I have been up and busy all morning. As I sat in a quiet house this morning I allowed myself to reflect on the past year. So many things have changed for us, some I have come to realize have been eye-opening. I never imagined that our lives would come down the path that was chosen for us, nor did I imagine that so many things and people would change. Not only was moving an intricate part of our life change, but also the people that cross our path. I must say there are those that I thought would be a life long friend and those that I thought were part of a growing friendship that would also be life long; I now feel it was a mirage of a friendship. Friendship is not based on a lifestyle, money or homes - it is based on love. The ones that I thought would stand beside me forever, are not. It has taken me a long time to get over this. The shock at times was overwhelming, but with the help of my Savior I am overcoming all of my negative feelings. I am now thankful for what we have been through, I am thankful for our family and for the many blessing that the Lord continues to bestow upon us. I am thankful for the realization of my true friends and for the love that I have in my heart for the ones that I thought were my friends. May God be with us all during the upcoming holidays. I wish each and everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Be thankful, be loving, be kind, laugh and live everyday to the fullest!

Updates

So sorry that I have not updated in a while. We have been very busy and I have not taken the time to even look at my blog. Anyway - here are just a few things that I can tell you about:

JUSTIN MADE THE GOOD HOPE VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM!!!!!!

We are very excited that he is part of this team. He worked very hard and we are very proud of him! I do not have pictures of him yet in his uniform, he is real funny about that! But I will get some and post them.

Thanks to all of those who purchased Girl Scout Cookies from Meaghan. She out sold everyone in her troup!!

For those of you that don't already know, I started working full-time in January. I am working at the Burkett Center in Jefferson County. Yes, I am in Jefferson and the kids are in Cullman County. That is why I am off this week - spring break. Cullman County has spring break in a month. Oh well!

More later.

One more thought - It is not that we bring bad things upon ourselves, sometimes things happen to us that we are not in control of. We trust upon the Lord to see us through and when it is all over, we will be stronger for the trial!!
