Weekend Blues

Yes this weekend was a toughy for me. Days like those make me wish my mom was closer. I don't mean to whine, although I feel like that is all I did all weekend. We had a wedding that we went to that brought a lot of mixed feelings to the surface and it was hard on the two of us to really come to terms what exactly we had a hard time with exactly. As many of you know I am not one to be at a loss of words :) But this weekend it really was that. I had nothing that I could say was particularly the problem except that 9 years ago I too went through the very thing the bride is going through now and it was hard to go through it alone in a town I had never been to and no family or friends around. The thing is I don't wallow in self-pity. I really don't. It may seem like it from this post but the amazing thing is I was able to reflect on how much God has done for our family. Yes we have made mistakes but God has used our family to grow stronger and bring us together as one! I will never understand some of the things that happened during that trial or even continue to happen but our beautiful healthy family is the greatest blessing I will ever experience. I cannot imagine our life with out any of our kids or without my Prince Charming.
