What a year.
Now that I'm no longer in school full-time, I have accomplished my life-long dream of becoming a nurse. I have my dream car. I have 7 amazing children who, while 5 live with us fulltime, fill my heart immensely as I become more concretely their confidante, their supporter, their mom or "bonus mom"... and, the count down begins as we get prepared for our eternal family to begin in less than 2 weeks from today...
We will be sealed as a family for Eternity in an LDS temple- a story I'm currently writing for the blog next week or so.
With that- I have no other "dream". I am embarking on a whole new set of dreams, most of which are unnamed and undiscovered. And I relish every thought of what lies in wait.
I am in the process of publishing the Daisyhalo's blog, and getting Nine Peas in the Pod into book form as well. As I have sat with my Will rereading blog posts and entries, we both realized how much we MISS the blog, and I'm possibly going to start blogging again now that I don't shudder with angst each time I look at a computer screen with dread of another paper to write or assignment to finish. There are so many untold stories in the past year, and I know the year ahead (heck, the MONTH AHEAD) holds so many more stories in the making that I cringe to think I could miss recording those moments.
There is much to fill in. Much to bring up to speed. And slowly the blog posts will resume to fill those blanks for us and our family...
We will take more pictures. Write more stories. DOCUMENT the amazing, loving, fulfilling journey we're on. Happy doesn't decribe this feeling, and each day Will and I are more in love, more excited over a future of possibilities and completeness.
