If I wait another 12 days, it will be a year since my last post. This reminds me of my diary when I was younger. I would apologize to myself for waiting so long to write. I have discovered recently that writing is therapeutic for me. It has always helped me to journal and document my thoughts, however, I have decided that I am going to write more. I want to work on sharing profound stories, the most profound of which is the gospel. I intend to reach others through writing, and use every opportunity to share others stories to enrich, encourage, uplift, and inspire. Aside from homeschooling parents who are looking for an evaluator, my blog does not have much of a readership. However, if you are reading, my prayer is that your faith would increase, that you would forgive someone you have been holding a grudge against, or that you would smile or laugh out loud.
Since my last post, our family has been blessed with another happy little guy. His joy is contagious and although he will be a year old shortly, the four of us are still smitten by him. Each of us has a special relationship with him. Once again, I have fallen in love with Aaron in a different way. I was not aware of how my love for him would mature, and change with each child. My submission to him has become an honor and joy (except for moments when we are at odds and my rebellious heart gets in the way). We are currently are on one of our many road trips. We have quite a bit of family that lives far away so we travel to visit them. This summer has been extra-special. We went a different route and toted our three young boys across the country from south to north, and into Canada! I could post about 100 pictures of all the memories we've made and there are so many moments we did not capture. Aaron and I have had a lot of time to connect and have deep conversation. We have also experienced a few arguments that have stretched us and given us a greater love and appreciation for our differences.
