For those who don't know, it has taken us 6 months to buy a house and we are now in the process of renovating it. BIG renovation! IT has taken us MUCH longer than we had EVER anticipated.
They say hard things make you stronger.........I hate to go along with a "they say" but in this situation "they" are right. This whole thing wasn't just some sad story I fell into or some accident that brought us to this point it was all in the books and it was all for ME.
The truth is that things that happen in our lives happen FOR us not against us. Even when it doesn't feel like it, even when I think I can't take one more day, hour, or second, in the end it really is all for ME. We are given hard things to make us stronger, smarter, or in my case more humble. When given these "things" we ALWAYS have the choice to let it bring us down to our knees or just.......down. I always think I know what I need but usually I'm very wrong and the second I turn to the right source I'm reminded that what I need is not what I had planned at all.
On the outside looking in I know that this shabby little trial of mine doesn't light a candle to others but it's been very REAL for me and my little family. BUT through it I have finely REMEMBERED who I am, where I came form and most importantly what MY mission is. I feel like Oprah on her final show "find out what your mission is" lol, but she's right! Sometimes it takes hard things for us to remember but in the end it's ALWAYS worth it.
So I have VERY good news. After a very long 6 months we will be moving into our home within the next 2 week, we will finely be a family again and now more than ever we know what a PRECIOUS gift that really is.
Family, isn't it about time? I couldn't help myself, lol:)

I am so happy for you but we are going to miss having you at the farm. Claire will be devastated that she won't have Jack the whole time when we are there at Christmas.
So exciting! That does sound like a super difficult trial. It would be for me. But that's what I love about you...always find the good out of every situation and admitting to it:) Even if you don't want to.
While I am very excited for you, I don't want you to leave!! It has been very fun to have you here so close. :) You are an amazing gal Linds!!
Dang it. I miss you. Thought I would check in on your blog... Sigh. That's all I have left of you?
How's the house coming along?
