Micah and I are now in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. It is always really great to be here, Micah looks forward to being here every year.  Mark loved coming home every Christmas and it reminds me of him so much…it is really comforting.   It is really hard to believe that it is the third Christmas without him, and it hasn’t gotten any easier.

So, it has been almost two years since I have updated this...not sure if there is anyone reading.

There is way too much that has happened in the past two years and it take way too much room and time to put it here now.

Micah is now seven and just started the 2nd grade. He is great, big and very smart…deep thinker! This past year he played ( Read more... )

Today would've been my three year wedding anniversary.  I spent most of the day reflecting on what a great marriage we had and came home to make some delicious homemade pad thai...that I "assisted" my Tuesday night dinner friends with...ended the evening with an encouraging conversation with my in-laws.  Overall it was a good day...November 6 is a  ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning Micah and I drove to Roanoke, Virginia to see my grandmother...I think it has been about 7 years since I have seen her.  She just turned 92 years old and she is simply amazing.  Very strong, all together and seemed happy.  Every trip that I have attempted to make has fallen through for some reason or another, so after she didn't' ( Read more... )

Well, Micah started kindergarten today and he was so excited.  Kristina and I walked him down to school and we walked him all around the school.  Although he was a little hesitant when we first walked in the cafeteria, he didn't think twice when we walked out the door.  This is going to be a very exciting year!

Here he is....

Dreams are weird occurrences in our lives, sometimes...they can be so real and vivid.  After Mark passed away I prayed that I would dream of him, that I would at least see him in my dreams, but that only happened once since he passed away...except last night.  I woke up weeping from a dream of Mark where he was still alive, but still sick.  My face ( Read more... )

I am still here!

I wanted to give a quick update for those interested...

Micah has played and finished t-ball already.  Here are pictures if you would like to see him playing.  He was great and his "fans" always helped him out.  He would run and get the ball and if he got it, he would have a beaming smile and show all of us the ball he "caught".  I ( Read more... )

Another month has almost passed with no post...time seems to be moving so quickly.

Summer craziness has begun today.  Micah's schedule and thus my schedule is extremely full this summer.  Today was his first day of t-ball.  We were both pretty excited, but it was incredibly emotionally difficult for me.  As we were driving to the field I had a ( Read more... )
