So to begin I thought I'd say that this journey has been exhilarating,
exhausting, scary, fun, happy, sad, and sometimes dangerous. I've made mistakes and I've had ups and downs and in the end, we all made it out okay and didn't damage the car at all. My life lately is just like this picture, and just like the events immediately preceding this shot. These are my two youngest kids (Five and Six... their birth order, not their names) who are laughing at me because I had just accidentally jumped our SUV on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere and the boys are like: "whoa, can't believe you just did that... can we do it again?"
These past 10 months of my life were like this car jump: unexpected, very eventful and not at all what I wanted to do. I just wanted to see my journey through to the end and accomplish my goals. I saw no warning signs, experienced a 90 degree change of life, and now I'm accepting the new road we're on. Our car has one fewer passenger now, and that is okay. I didn't expect certain things to happen but they did, and we roll with it. My goal now is to be the very best mom I can and to raise moral children who are strong and resilient and loving. My goal is a happy life for all of us!
