HeartBreak

Noah, Wyatt, Amelia, and Logan,

I have been thinking a lot lately about heartbreak. Maybe it is because over the past few months I have suffered some heartbreak. My children heartbreak is inevitable. You have 2 choices you can be bitter and close yourself off from everyone or you can have faith that things will be ok. Choose the second option. Do not close yourself off for fear that the other person does not feel the same way. Be honest, talk to the person it may surprise you. It may not be the answer you want but it is one you need to hear. Sometimes the answer is yes they feel the way you do and then there is a sigh of relief. If the answer is no then you have your answer. While your heart may break and it may fee like you can't breath please remember it is temporary. You will be OK. God will put the right person in your life when it is the right time. It may not be on your time line but please remember God's time is perfect. Then there is the other kind of heartbreak where both of you may like each other but it is not the right time. And that is OK! They may have things going on in their life they need to figure out before they can fully commit. You may have things you need to figure out also before you can get into a relationship. That is ok too. The best relationships are born out of friendship. Do not for a minute stop living your life while waiting for that other person to get theirs together. Live and if at some point your lives intersect and it is the right time and place then go for it. In the mean time remain their friend go out, laugh, have a good time. And when you do fall in love, love with everything you have. You will be happier, trust me.

Love,

Mom

Well hello there

Wow I cannot believe it has been almost 3 years since I have blogged! So much has happened, but where to begin. First the kids are doing great! We moved to a new school this year and they are all flourishing. One of the nest things about the new school is that it is k-12. We do not have to move schools ever again, which makes this mama happy! Noah is almost 11 and in 4th grade. Wyatt just turned 9 and is in 3rd grade. Amelia will be 7 in a few days and she is in first grade. Logan is 5 and in kinder. Noah has discovered his love of basket ball and is doing quite well at it too. Wyatt has joined the Y's swim team and loves it. Amelia joined a competitive cheer team last year and LOVES it. Logan is still figuring out what he loves. he is in gymnastics and he will start soccer next week. I have decided to go back to school and finish up my bachelors. I was laid off 2 years ago and have done some contract work here and there but nothing permanent. I figure this will open more doors for me. So far I love the major I have chosen and am doing well. I started this blog with the intention of writing down the memories the kids and I make. I still fully intend to do that along with any advice for them that I may want to give them later in life. So I hope to blog at least once a week or more if I can.
