Coming back...

I can't blame anyone or anything really. I would like to say that facebook made sharing life too convenient. I would like to say that Instagram makes sharing those snap shots of life come easy. Both are true. But the true reason is that I have been "too" busy. I am so mad at myself. Angry for getting away from my love of writing and sharing our life for my girls to have to reflect on one day. So, with that being said, facebook is gone. Instagram has taken a back seat and I am back.

So much has been happening since September. It has been almost one year since I left the bank and started this new journey. To say it has been rewarding just doesn't seem fit. There are so many words to describe what this has meant to me. What it continues to mean to me. What they mean to me....

We have grown together as a family. We continue to find comfort in our faith and relationships. We have grown in some that exist and found new ones that are true blessings to all of us. A special group of women that make the village of parenting seem easier on some level because they are there to lend an ear. Or shoulder. Or drink. Whichever it may be.

There is so much to catch up on. A photo dump with brief, yet heartfelt descriptions is what I have planned for tonight. And then, I plan to keep up. To concentrate and remember that the facebook comments and all that come with them are not what my children will remember, but that our life and history is what will be important to them and what they will most cherish.

Here we go.......
