Life Keeps Going On - LIVE it

Update on my life. The kids are doing great. Man, we are so blessed to have such amazing adults. Jesse has moved to Missouri with Hannah to pursue a new career. Wade is busy being a father to my amazing grandchild. Gabby is back to school to be a nurse practitioner. Kaelan is still going to Spokane Community for a Criminal Justice degree. Emily is still at Whitworth College looking at getting into the psychological aspect of Criminal Justice. And Noah is finding his way still, but making it work in Spokane.

I think because Dan and I started out financially struggling, and having so much drama early on, I've come to be more content with my life and very thankful for being so blessed.

Independence Day

Another 4th of July in the works! Every year I think about the look in the kids' eyes when they got to watch a fireworks show. Now they are all older, it makes me miss it even more. I suppose one day I'll have grandkids to take in their place. Isn't that just like life? You take advantage of the little things that eventually you will miss. Not thinking at the time, "I should enjoy every second of this, because it won't last". It's a good reminder to me to embrace all this life has to offer. Because someday, I will miss this very moment.
