Spinning This Web Called Life

It's about time to make some "me time" and begin my blogging adventure. Just a chance to share stories, laughs, love and trying time we tend to encounter. Not to mention with adding another beautiful life and baby girl to our family tree...I'm sure there will be many stories I'd love to share. Goodness knows how our lives have changed ever so much these past few years. I often find myself looking back and continually wondering how we got to where we are in life. I never would have dreamed back in 7th grade when I met Travis that he would soon become my best friend, soul mate and we would eventually have two beautiful daughters to fill our hearts with love and laughter. To this day I find myself counting my blessings for bringing us together. Even at age 14 he melted my heart...and most certainly still has that charming effect.

Life right now is starting to make some crazy twists and turns for us. I'm excited and yet nervous & anxious to see exactly what those twists and turns have in store for us. So many new things are happening and while we're enduring them and continuing to weave our little family web, we find that time passes w/the blink of an eye. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for all the moments in life I've been given. As I think back, 2007 was a very hard year...in the midst of that year I felt like it was never going to end. Seriously, I never thought so many horrible and heart-wrenching things could take place in just a few months time. Less than 7 months to be exact. Trying to hold it together and have faith that time would heal pain was very hard to swallow. That year 4 people around me passed away. My cousin, Step-Dad (as I would call him), Great-Grandma and a good friend were all gone well before good-bye's could be said, hugs could be given and before we even attempted to prepare our hearts that would soon be so heavy. I look at time today and it's almost been 5 years...many tears have been shed (even as I type this...hopefully the keyboard can handle it) and my heart still aches. But as with most everyone else that goes through this phase in life...time does slowly heal. I believe the healing process is different for everyone. I also know that I still have a good ways to go.

I never thought I could possibly be so blessed in life as I am. A husband and best friend that loves my unconditionally, a daughter that is the center & light of my world, feeling life grow in my tummy a second time (with out major complications, praises be to God for that) and a perfect roof over my head. To some it may not sound perfect but to me it's a dream come true. My dream.

Let the blogging adventure begin!! Only time will tell what our little family web will look like as we spin this web called life.
