Such a Blessing!

I tell ya, these days are getting away from me lately.  It seems every time I turn around, another week has gone by.  It's usually like this though, or I should say, since school has entered our lives this time of year always gets busy. Hard to believe the school year is coming to a close!  It's been a really good year though for my boys at their "new" schools and that has been heaven.  A lot has happened over the past year, but where I sit today, it's nice to be here.   This summer will be so fun, since we don't have to factor in a "move" and I'm so excited about that.  It's really a great feeling finally being where we want to be and raising our boys, but last summer was very hectic trying to get here.  Now that we are here, we are enjoying the memories we are making. These past few weeks have been fun and we got the opportunity to celebrate 12 years of marriage here in our new home.  Yes, for those of you that know the back story, Brenton and I sure do have a great story to tell, but I'll spare you all the details....however, we have chosen to celebrate our years combined from both our marriages, b/c we don't ever want to forget our journey.  It's been a ride, but I'm amazed how far we've come.  To be here now, with a great man, raising our family together is a wonderful feeling.  I'm truly blessed and I thank God every day for him.  Anyway, we didn't really do anything for our anniversary, we chose to celebrate with our boys and enjoy being home.  I love the simplicity of things and honestly, it was a great evening!

We have come a long way and looking back, falling apart was such a blessing in disguise.  There is not one thing I would change about our life together, we have accomplished so much, and now have 2 amazing little guys.

TRUTH!!!

Also, a few weeks ago, Brenton and Ethan had "Buddy Time" (as Ethan calls it).  We have decided that with everything that is going on with Colin, we want to make sure that Ethan knows how special he is to us, as well.  He's now at the age that we are letting him choose what he wants to do in those special times and this time he chose to go to the movie theater and watch Spiderman 2.  My son, who loves to get into character and play his favorites, got dressed up in his new costume and off they went.  They had the best time and these moments are ones he'll remember forever.
