One Day at a Time...

This summer has gone by way too fast, as does life I guess. I wish I could say that our summer has been pure bliss with summer vacations, the lake, parks, picnics, etc, it's been anything but. We did get to celebrate both our kiddos Birthdays, Olivia's 5th, Nolan's 2nd, which was a definite highlight! The down side of our summer, we've had a lot of loss. First my Grandfather, then Shane's best friends father, and then for Shane & I, another miscarriage followed by a D&C. I was hesitant on writing that part on here, but it's a huge part of my life right now, my reality. Most of you who are reading this are "our family" and you know our life. Throughout the heartache and devastation of this last couple of weeks I have realized yet again what AMAZING friends I have. I have been blessed with some of the most amazing girlfriends on this earth, TRULY, without a doubt. I love my girls, they are like the sisters I never had. They along with my husband, children, neighbors, and family have been my ROCK through this. I'm struggling with my Faith right now and am trying to lean towards the Lord, but haven't quite gotten there yet. It will come, I know He's always there, just waiting, and I will come around, I always do. I listen to this song that's currently on my blog fortnightly, my constant reminder that His hands are holding me, and no matter what, He's always by my side.

I titled this One Day at a Time because a dear friend of mine brought me a gift last week. Inside the little box I was given, a beautiful silver bracelet. Engraved on the inside of the bracelet was the saying "one day at a time." Ahh, I'm crying as I write this. Siri, this is one of the most precious gifts I've ever been given, thank you so much. To all of my other soul sisters, thank you for the beautiful cards, desserts, dinners, flowers, phone calls, and support(in whatever form it was given.) I love you all, you make me smile and touch my heart more than you will probably ever know.
