I'm not even going to address my lack of posts, because, let's be honest, none of us are surprised.
I'll jump right in. It's been over a year. What has happened in the past year, you ask? Hmmm.....
School....and more school. We joined a homeschool co-op, which is AWESOME. The trusty old Explorer finally bit the dust, and we had to buy a new (to us) car. (a Ford 500, which Mr. Fantastic has actually grown quite fond of.) The kids are now 12, 8 and 8. (I'm in tears while typing those ages...how DID that happen??) I've found that I am still super un-organized, quite neurotic, a lot obsessive compulsive, but overall very content in my life. We went on our first family vacation to Disney World, and loved it. I've grown distant with some friends, and much closer with others. I've made some fantastic new friends that get the super nerdy side of me, and don't judge me for it, because they're just like me. There have been some tough changes in my world, but I've learned and grown from them, and I like to think they've made me a stronger person. I still love my family and friends fiercely...probably even more so than a year ago. There have been tears of sadness and tears of joy. My heart aches for those I've lost in the past couple of years, but I press on because that's what we do....all the experiences of life, good and bad, are what shape who we are. I wouldn't go back and change them, because it would change who I am today. I can learn from the mistakes, and do better next time. I still desperately love Mr. Fantastic, and the sweet little humans that we have together. I thank God for the amazing life that I have, and ask Him to give me the strength to always try to do better tomorrow.
That's all for now, but hopefully I will be back tomorrow to share some of our adventures with you...
