I can’t believe it’s almost May. This year is flying by! Before you know it, it’ll be summer break and then poof, it’ll be Christmastime again!

It’s been an absolute whirlwind since my last post in January. We’ve had birthdays, a new administration, a crippling snowpocolypse in Texas, Operation Valor events, OCRs and weddings. Not to mention the daily excitement of in person learning, virtual learning for the kids, changing and starting a new degree myself, and trying to maintain a healthy work life balance while working from home. It’s been kinda crazy but I wouldn’t change it for anything.

I think about sitting here to share my thoughts so often, but something always seems to pull me in another direction. In fact, I started writing this post on Monday and it’s now Wednesday and past my bedtime and I’ve completely forgotten what I’d initially intended with this post!

Maybe that’s just life’s way of keeping me on my toes, keep me searching my mind for what I want to share? So I’ll share what’s been on my mind today

April is a month of emotions for me. It’s been nearly 2 years since we almost lost Sean. I thank God daily for giving him back to us. There are times when April and May 2019 seem so long ago, and then there are times when it seems like just yesterday. Seeing all of the memories pop up on Facebook and Timehop keep the memories fresh and remind me of just how fragile life is. It is also a reminder of how much love I have in my life. So many people took the time in the last few days to send messages and post comments, it warms my heart that after two years, THEY haven’t forgotten how hard those days and weeks were. My heart is so full knowing that we truly are loved by our friends and extended families. Y’all helped me keep going then, and y’all keep me going now. Thank you for loving us!
