BUSY GROWING...

Busy Growing....

It's amazing that everyday it seems like we do the same things, yet when we pause, everything is different. We are growing. Our family is getting stronger.

I know that over the past two weeks I've been scarce around here. I have reasons. Mostly going from Louisiana to Florida and getting the family settled for summer. We came here with hardly anything and now we have a house full. Mostly the necessities. Yet, it seems different. It's things we want, are proud to own, and got with so much love.

I have my mommy again...my dad too, but my momma....Oh...I'm so happy to have her EVERYDAY. We fight like there is no tomorrow but at the end of the day I'm so happy to just have the time to sit and fight with her. To see her, to help her, to just be with her.

When M gets home from work the girls are so happy. He pays attention to them, gives them his time, even though he is dead dog tired. He gets up early so he can spend time with them before he goes to work. Me too, of course, but their happiness....it's overflowing.

Our dawgs love the yard. They play more. I swear sometimes I think they smile they are so happy. They are getting into all kinds of new mischief. It's part of the growing.

I've been away from home for over five years. Coming back here, I feel like I'm living in a new city. Everything is growing around here. More homes, buildings, stores. I blinked and our little town is gone. The best part though....

I found out who my REAL friends are. People I've hardly seen since I've been gone are coming back into my life as if I never left. They accept my "new love" and don't judge my past with the ex. Some don't even  judge the ex for what happened. Those are the real friends. We are growing our friendship and rekindling what we had. It's nice.

So...while I've been off the grid....that is what I've been doing. The same things everyday, but yet somehow everything is different....because we are busy growing!

I've missed you all =) Happy to be back!!
