It has been literally forever since I have last posted! I guess life catches up with you sometimes, and all of the little time-consumers just seem to get in the way!
I had a great 4th of July weekend with my bestie, Miss Adi Mae, and her amazing family. Then, I got to spend time with my own fabulous fam on Monday, out at our family cabin! So fun, and as usual, so fun to see all of my nieces and nephews (my Sis Heidi has 2 foster kids; twin girls) that are sooo stinkin' cute! I cant believe how much has been done on our family cabin!! I must have dropped off the face of the earth for the past 6 months or so??? :)
The last couple of days I have been thinking about my life (which is probably what prompted this post) and how much I am so blessed. I am so thankful for my amazing family, who loves me no matter what, and for all of the little (and big) ways in which I have been so fortunate to live in such a great state, and country. I am so grateful for friends who make me better, and listen to my complainings (Adi has done a lot of that lately; I love you, friend!) and a family that wants nothing more than for me to be happy. I am thankful for a job that I love, and the opportunity that I get (because of my job) to try and make a difference in kids' lives (even if I never know if I truly helped them, I am thankful for the opportunity to try). Every day I go to work, I see and hear about so many horrific situations that my foster children live in and go through, and I think I forget to remember just how blessed I am, and have been. I'm only human, I make mistakes, but I guess Heavenly Father already knows that, and is always there, helping me along the way. For that, I am the most grateful.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Freedom is not free; thank you to all the Soldiers and Veterans who have faught for my freedom.
