In a Funk....

I have been in a little bit of a funk lately... not sure what is going in- if it is hormones or missing Charles or stress about the house or anxiety about finding out our next assignment..... I try and distract myself with all the activities here, and Mallory's schedule is really keeping me on my toes, but some days... most days lately, I am just a little blue.

I am so grateful to have such sweet friends close by, and I always look forward to spending time with them.  My parents are beyond supportive and SOOOOOOO very helpful with Mallory, so when I complain I feel like it is all so unwarranted.  But since I haven't posted a blog in a while, I thought I should maybe record the reason for the gap.

When I look at photos of Mallory, it is such a mix of emotions.  She is getting so big, and Charles is missing so much.  But I am also so proud of how independent she is and I love having fun with her.  When I have tried to sit down to try and blog, lately, all I want to do is cry.  So silly- I know.  I really try and be a strong person, and stay focused on the positive.  It just seems that time is passing so fast, and I can barely keep up!

I thank God daily for my little girl, my loving husband, my selfless parents and all the friends and family in my life that truly make my heart smile.  I am grateful for this new, healthy lifestyle I am living, and praying that it will bring us the blessing of another child very soon.

Not knowing what the future will bring is scary- but I guess I need to take my own advice.... whenever Mallory is scared during a movie, I always tell her "This isn't scary- it's just the exciting part."

I never thought of my life as exciting.... but I guess maybe it is.

More blogs to come soon....
