last night I opened up my blog for the first time in over a year! I can't believe it's been that long!! I realized also how meaningful blogging can be. Reading my blogs was such a treat, some moments I haven't thought about in a looooong time. And what's happened in that time seems like it's been longer then a year...
I decided to send the kids back to school instead of homeschooling. It was a great year though!! The freedom of it was the best. But Vivian needed more structure, more socialization. And landen too. So here we are...in Bosque Farms!!! Oh yeah...I forgot to mention we moved out of albuquerque!!! It's been about 6 months now, and it's absolutely beautiful, we love it. The kids are doing great in school, we are happy and love the space. We plan on gardening and getting some chickens next spring!
My sister lorie found love, got married in Vegas, and has the most amazing, sweet, beautiful little baby girl...I'm just over the moon happy for her!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
On a more somber note my sweet granny was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She fought her ass off for the whole year, enduring invasive chemo treatments, a surgery to try to remove as much cancer as possible, and just the mental notion that at some point it's all not going to work anymore. That moment came this past August. No more treatments...she was put on hospice at that point. She lasted 2 months, and on November 7, 2015, she finished her fight. It's been 2 weeks, and I just miss her so much!!! I had a dream about her last night though, she was happy, looked healthy beautiful and young. For the first time since her passing I feel at total peace with her being gone. I know it won't ever be easy but I feel I can learn to move forward now.
Now on to the holidays!!! It's going to be different, in a good and bad way. It will be the first year in our new beautiful home, but also without granny. It's hard to know how to feel. All I know is I want to be sure to love and cherish each day, live it as best as I possibly can. I want to love myself, and be as healthy as possible especially for granny. She's become my motivation to stay healthy and strong, along with my kids and husband of course!!!
No matter what...life goes on. How you live each day is totally up to you.
