Summer Past/Summer Present

Last summer I was pregnant.

Last summer we took the kiddos to a drive-in movie.

Last summer we played in the water.

Last summer we went to camp.

Last summer I had never felt grief.

This summer we will do a lot of the same things…

watch movies

play in the water

go to camp (it is Owen’s first year & he is so excited)

eat ice cream

go on vacation

cuddle in bed in the mornings after daddy leaves for work

And as far as our grief? Today I am leaning on the scripture that says…

“”So with you, now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” John 16:22

Change…

We’re doing it…we are going to sell our home. We have lived here for over 10 years and about a year ago we started looking for something bigger to grow our family in. We have fell in love with a home (and it sold), we have looked (and decided against), we have done “drive-bys” (a lot of them) and we are finally ready to take the step of selling, so that we will be ready to buy when we find our new home.
So with this decision comes more change in our life. A good change. An exciting change. A scary change. And a change that will keep us moving forward.
