I'm not sure where the last 11 years have gone. Things seem to be moving so quickly. I am in awe at how far Myself and my family have come over the last few years. I survived another holiday without grief taking over. Gosh I never though I would get there. Holidays are always harder. But we just enjoyed the day and continued with all the updates we have been making to our home.
My Mother in Law has lived with us for 5+ years and she moved out this past weekend. So we rearranged some bedrooms, did a lot of de-cluttering and a whole lot of laundry. And finally my room feels like a retreat instead of a catch all for everything in the house.
I can honestly say I finally in a place where I am Happy. My husband started his own company back in Feb and its really taken off. So that stress has been lifted. The boys are doing good for the most part. A few struggles with Jadon, school and being a preteen! Jaxson just finished his 2nd season of tball.
We are looking forward to finishing the house, March For babies, and summer vacation!
I'm not sure where the next few weeks, months, or years will take us. But I know we are all in a good place. A place that seemed so far away when we lost Trinity. I hope that she looks down on us every once in a while a smiles and maybe even tells the other angels "hey that's my mom and she struggled when I left her, But look at her now, she survived, found herself, and found happiness again"

I think its so awesome that you are doing all this work to your home and finding a way to make your room your special place, as it should be. I understand about the holidays and always wondering about the one who is missing. I am so glad you are able to say you are happy.
love and hugs

I'm loving Jadon's artwork and it's looks like you all had a lovely time at sister-in-law's wedding! Very awesome that things are going smoothly. You so deserve to just be able to coast and enjoy:) I know you've been making a lot of home improvements and doing the work yourselves. All of those things just add to the property value and make your castle all that more comfy for you guys to enjoy. I bet it's been really fun watching Jaxon playing ball! I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend with hubby and the boys.
Sending hugs,
Lindsay
Oh no, I spelled his name wrong! Woops, I meant Jaxson:) Have a wonderful weekend my dear.
Sam, I am happy to hear that you are in a good place right now. Ride the tide -- and enjoy it. You have been through a lot, but you have found a way to capture the sun and let the rays warm your face. Trinity would be proud.
