This isn't what I thought...

When I began this blog I had no idea that majority of its posts would contain my path of grief.  It was just going to be my thoughts on my faith; my small way of bearing my testimony.

Then Declan came and went...this blog was my solace.  It wasn't my plan.  I thought I would merely inform others of what had happened to us...so I wouldn't have to speak it aloud or repeat it fifty thousand times.

I just kept writing.  Telling everyone my deep feelings...though I have no idea why...I am a very private person.

The first year of this blog had only been posted to 39 times.  In the last two years I have posted over 200 times.

It has been an unexpected blessing in my life.

As I enter a new chapter in my life and close one behind me I am very grateful for everything that has gotten me here.

I have been very sick lately with the flu.  I have had a lot of time to think about the changes coming in my life and what it means for my future.


Christian and I have felt the last four years have been a gift...however it has tested us with ferocity.

I will never regret moving here.  It will always mean so much to me.  I learned more about myself here than I thought possible.

It was no accident that so many of my friends have understood grief.

You all were my guardian angels and will eternally hold a special place in my heart.

This new change in our lives came so suddenly and I am almost staggering trying to realize this is happening...we are moving.

This is tied with the longest I have ever lived anywhere.

Emmy has been here since she was four months old...Bryce three.

As much as I don't want to leave...I feel that Heavenly Father has a plan for us to do something else now.

I am grateful for the chances for change...though it isn't always easy.
