I know it's been a while since I have put anything on here, and a ton of things have happened in our life. We welcomed another angel into our family, Mike graduated from school, and we moved across country. That all happened in the last 2 months. Can you imagine what the last year was like? You guessed it, CRAZY!!
So before more time passes, I just want to put my thoughts down so I don't forget.
Let's start with Pittsburgh. I am becoming more attached to that place by the day. I never thought I would say that. I always thought that once I left I would never think of that place again, but daily I catch myself thinking of my home, friends, and life that we had there. There are days when I would gladly go back. We have great memories that will never be forgotten. Thank you to all of my Pittsburgh family that made our stay enjoyable and oh so memorable.
Next I have to talk about my kids. I have to admit that having 4 kids 5 and under is crazy. I love each of my kids deeply, and it breaks my heart to see that I can't give each of them the attention they deserve from a mom. I try my hardest, but a lot of times I feel like I am being pulled in a million directions. I pray that they know I love them and would do whatever I can for them. They are the light of my life. I thank my Father in Heaven for sending them to me, now I just pray that I can do for them what I promised them I would do in Heaven.
I have enjoyed growing with them over the last four years on our own, and I can't wait to see what life brings for us down the road.
Now, onto my Husband. I know we all love to brag about our husband's by saying that they are the best husband in the world and that our life wouldn't be the same if he wasn't in our lives. Well over the past 4 years I have come to a knowledge that that statement is so true.
We all have experiences good or bad with our significant other that will bring the relationship closer or tear it apart. I have had my share of both types of experiences. There have been times that I have wanted to run into his arms and never want to let go, but there have also been times that I have wanted to run away and never return. What I have learned is that I have a choice of how I want my life to be. Marriage isn't easy. You have to constantly work on the relationship that YOU chose when you got married. All I can say is good, bad, richer, poorer, I couldn't be happier in the choice I made to marry the man I did.
Mike isn't perfect, but he does the best he can for himself, me, and the kids. The Lord really blessed me when he put such an amazing & talented man into my life, and I thank him for it daily.
Lastly, I would have never had these experiences or time in Pittsburgh if it wasn't for my Heavenly Father. He helped me grow in ways that I would never think possible.
There were many experiences that we went through as a family that we wouldn't have gotten through if my Father in Heaven wasn't by our side. I know he is there for all of us, we just have to put the effort forth of opening the door and letting him in.
I know that our time in Pittsburgh is done, we have moved on, our friends/new family either moved on or is still there, but the memories will never leave. My desire to hang onto relationships becomes stronger and my love for my family, and those we left behind grows daily. So thank you to everyone who has played a part in my life over the past four years. My memories with you will not be forgotten!
Here are my AMAZING kids. Just don't be jealous of the post pregnancy look!
