I feel as though I have written in ages. It's not that I stopped having anything to say, it's just that most of my writing comes from the pain in my life. I honestly have never been happier than I am at the time in my life, but I don't want that to be the cause of a lack of writing.
It's hard to explain this happiness, because there really is no specific reason, other than I am truly happy with where my life is. I love my job. My kids make every day interesting and they keep me on my toes. I feel like every day is a testing ground for patience. I will have to admit that I am trying to work on handling a few of their new attitude problems with a little more of that needed patience. They are young, and sometimes I forget that just because they usually act older than they are, doesn't mean that they actually are. They keep me entertained and always do little things to win me over. Tonight while Jared and Brianna played catch in the backyard, Alexa and I sat on the back steps. She wanted to give me a kiss, but did not want me to kiss her back, so we made a game of it. She covered my mouth while attempting to kiss my cheeks, but my goal was to try to kiss her back. Her giggle is so cute, and made the game even more fun. I adore that little girl. Jared is constantly impressing me with how intelligent he is. I almost used the word smart there, but realized that it didn't emphasize how much this child truly knows. Don't get me wrong, he uses words that are too big in completely wrong contexts, but he knows more about roller coasters than anyone I know. Brianna, well, she keeps me going. I swear that child is why I've lost the weight I have since living here. She is so amazing. She got to go to the Hannah Montana concert Tuesday night in Orlando. She had an unbelievable time!
Beyond work, I am just happy with who I am. I am also happy with where God is taking me. I truly believe that I have allowed myself to heal in so many ways. He and I have had many long conversations, and it has brought me to this place of happiness. I couldn't ask for more!
I don't want to write only when life has me down, I want to write because things are happening. And things are!
I leave for Colorado in ONE WEEK! I am uber excited! I love snow and I can't wait to see it. I love the cold (and hate it), so I am going to make sure to stay bundled up!
Life is good, and I just wanted to share that with everyone.
