It's been a while...

Well here it is almost August and I have not blogged since May!!  The only real excuse I have is that my computer broke and I've just been using my Ipad for the last several months.  I've found it harder to blog from it so I just haven't done it.  I actually started to, but couldn't get pictures downloaded so I quit trying.  I can honestly say that I have missed it though and decided to get with it again.

Life the last several months has been crazy to say the least!!  With my oldest son graduating high school, my youngest turning 16 and me turning 40, all the anticipation of those milestones is now over...and it's kind of a relief:)  I have to say that turning 40 wasn't bad at all....in fact, it was much easier than turning 30 if you ask me.  Now we're preparing to take Cody to Southern Nazarene University in a few weeks, which begins a whole new phase in our lives.  I've got real mixed emotions about him going to college and, depending on the day you ask, I am either excited for him or crying.

So I guess you could say that the countdown to 40 is officially over for me, but I only made it to 26 of the 40 things I was working toward or learning from.  I just spent some time looking over them and have to say that I've grown so much over the last year of focusing on making some changes in my life.  Oh, I'm far from being where I'd like to be, but am so much farther ahead of where I was this time last year.  For that I am so thankful!  I am going to continue blogging about this journey I'm on and hope that you will join me once again.  I loved all the emails and messages I received of encouragement and how my journey has helped others in their journey.  I didn't expect that when I started this last year, but you have been such a blessing to me and I'm so grateful!!   Thank you!!

Till next time....
