What a journey it's been.

 I'm not even sure where to begin. I had forgotten about this blog for a while, once I remembered, I couldn't find it. I happened to see an old Facebook post pop up and saw where I had sent it to my sister-in-law by a link. And here I am. 

So much has changed since my last post. I've been considering starting this up again but have not been in a good place to restart it. A call from the Holy Spirit maybe, I don't know . All I know is, in my faith, when you feel led to do something, you do it. So here I am. 

I can't believe how long it's been since I was even in this blog let alone posting anything. When I say so much has changed, I don't think anyone is going to believe me. I'm not even sure how deep to go, this may take a while if I post everything that's happened. Honestly, I haven't read everything I posted in the past so I am not even sure where I left off, except, everything I had been posting about previously was health and weight loss. Ironically, my health is what ended up crashing on me. 

Let's start with, family changes. I know in my introductory post, I shared my family details. My husband and I have now been married 25 years, that was as of 2025. My kids are now 24 and 19, how do I have adult kids now?? They have all graduated high school and all, funny enough, work at Best Buy together. I started homeschooling my oldest son when he was in the middle of his 8th grade middle school years. The reasons go way deep so we'll just say, he was struggling with school work and being bullied. Then once he graduated, I began homeschooling our twins. They had just finished 5th grade, elementary school. I was NOT about to do the middle school drama again. Homeschooling was a MASSIVE change and if I could start all over, I would do it completely different. I wish I had more time with them. I didn't have the confidence in myself to pull them out earlier or I would have without a doubt, now I can say that. My oldest is still not quite for sure what he wants to be, when he grows up (ha). He has always enjoyed his comfort zones and has always shied away from a challenge, unless it's something he wanted to do. He has never felt confident in his own abilities. He gets stuck in ruts easily. One of our twins loves selling and customer service. He was just offered a full-time position at Best Buy that he accepted, at least for the time being. Our other twin is super focused and excited to become a firefighter. He is currently a volunteer at our local volunteer department. He is working towards finishing his certifications. In the meant time, he has just applied to be a ECC, 911 operator. We shall see where that goes. I think that sums up family life.
