A Fresh Start...a new perspective from me.

So here I am once again. It has been forever since I have looked at or even thought about writing on the blog. I guess there are many reasons for that. Life got busy...really, really busy. I got overwhelmed and probably a little bit of guilt for trudging up the past on a regular basis. So here we are...a Fresh New Start. An update on all that has changed and all that hasn't. So we will start with what hasn't. I still miss Joel with each passing moment. I still watch my girls in awe and wonder how I got SO lucky. We still smile at some memories, cry with others and hurt with the ache of loosing a loved one. I am still me, a little more rough around the edges, a little more loving and compassionate but still me. My girls are still beautiful and amazing. They still amaze me with their strength each and every day. They are my life. So what has changed....OH BOY a lot! First off I live in Victoria, Texas and love it. We have a small house on almost 6 acres. It's not much but it is ours and my kid's are happy here. They love it out here, with the exception of riding a school bus. Next...I'm married. Spiritually, not legally. We will have been married for 2 years in June and it has been great. We married spiritually because of many reason, which I may or may not go into later. My last name is still the same, I won't be changing it. Justin is ok with this and so am I. Some people don't understand but they don't live my life now do they? The next huge thing is our little group that we call a family grew. We had a little boy, Wyatt Cash. He is 16 months old and one of the best things that happened to the girls and I. He is just as amazing as his big sisters and a ton of fun. The next thing that has changed but is not a huge thing is I have learned how to knit. I love it, it comes pretty natural to me, but it is fun, relaxing and my new addiction. I bring this up because this is the new direction my blog is going to be taking. It will still be and the kid's but it will also be a lot about what I am doing knitting wise. It is now evolving into a whole life blog and that makes me happy and I think that would make Joel happy to see me moving forward. So here we go. I know many of you have stopped following this and some of you still are(hello Glo) so bear with me and stick around for the creations that I have in my head. Take care and it is good to be back.
