Life Lately

by 31 Comments

Life lately has been filled with tears and laughter, sorrow and joy, and lots of memories. About two weeks ago, God called home an immediate family member to be with Him in heaven. We rejoice in the fact that she no longer suffers from the pain and ugliness of cancer and illness and look forward to the day when we will see her again.

It just didn’t seem right to blog during this time, I wanted to spend time on what was most important. . .family. Thank you to all who expressed concern over my absence. You guys are the best.

Here is a glimpse of some of what has gone on during the last two weeks:

Our youngest nieces got to experience s’mores for the first time. 🙂

Enjoying S'mores

We celebrated the first day of summer at Rita’s with some of the best friends you could ask for.

I got to see friends that I haven’t seen since our wedding. Unfortunately, no picture.

Quality family time

Lots of runs on a gorgeous trail by the river.

Thanks for still checking in while I was gone! I’ll be getting back into blogging later this week.

  10. I’m so sorry for your loss. We have been praying for you and your whole family during this time. The little girl on your lap in the picture is actually my niece too. Her mother and my husband are siblings. We knew your loved one and are thankful for the hope we have in Christ, that she is no longer in pain and that we will see her again someday. We will continue to uphold you and your husband and family in our prayers.
