Over a Year - I'm still here!!!

Well, it's been over a year and I am a horrible blogger. I always think to myself "I should blog about this" but never do. So here I sit once again, attempting to blog. We'll see how long this lasts.

This last year has been full of change, growth, stress and happiness. Funny how life just goes on - the sun always rises and sets; no matter what happens. (unless you die; but then it's still on to something better........unless you were a bad person and then well, you'll get what you deserve. We always do.)

I've had the opportunity to meet some really incredible people this year. I was once told that I was a "collector of friends" and I believe that is true. I have added some great friends to my collection!! It is a priceless collection of people with various ideas, dreams and realities that have certainly helped me to become a more fulfilled person. My tried and true friends remain by my side; a fierce force of strength and comfort and I know that I am truly blessed.

My family is still my rock and God is still my foundation. Not that I expected that to change in a year, but you never know what can happen. I look around at the world and I see what is happening and I am comforted to know that I can find peace through prayer and constant conversation with my Heavenly Father.

"The Keeper of my Heart" still carries that title. He is now 10. He is an amazing little man with amazing talents and he is constantly surprising me with his determination to do his best at ANYTHING he does. I love our special relationship and he knows that he melts my heart. He's good not to take advantage of that.....usually ;-) He is still protective of me and reminds me of our deal that HE will take care of me when I get old~ which according to him "is like in a couple years"...ha!



Hannah, the first child to make me an Aunt, is getting married in less than a month. I can hardly believe it. I still think of her as a little girl. I am proud of who she has become and am excited for her to begin this chapter with the many exciting things that come with her new life.

Of-course a lot has happened over the last year - some really funny stories that I will include in some of my next posts. I am going to try to do better this year....TRY being the key word there. Stay tuned.....
