Wow, it has been a while. Just wanted to give a little life update. Life takes so many twists and turns. My two living children are amazing! We have truly been blessed. My oldest is 16, a sophomore in high school, driving, thriving in school, and she's an amazing dancer! My youngest just turned 13, a seventh grader, thriving in school, and he's an awesome soccer player. Life is busy and wonderful! A lot happened over the years, including a divorce and a new career. I won't go into details, but it was hard! I took a job in the school district my kids attend so I can be on the same schedule as them. 

After several years of single parenting (although fortunate enough that we coparent pretty well), I reconnected with my old high school crush. We have been married for almost 2 years now and have combined our families. Guess where we got married...that place I named as my favorite place to rejuvenate, The Don CeSar. We have a 20 year old son in college, two 16 year old daughters, a 13 year old son, two dogs, and a bearded dragon. I am currently working on my masters degree in elementary education.   

I still think of the babies I lost, but the pain has lessened. I still listen to and encourage friends who are going through miscarriage and infertility. I think sometimes just being heard and understood helps. There were days I never dreamed I would be to the stage of sending my babies off to college, but that time is fast approaching! Life is a rollercoaster. Live it, breathe it, feel it, but most of all, find the joy and love it!
