Its understood or inevitable that I haven't blogged for months. I have pondered, much, the fact I want to get back into blogging. If not for my own sake but for my kids. Obviously we have been up to something over the last few months. And many of you who know me know that I have been going through a little bit of a storm. I am narrowing it down to 'I', not because I don't feel others involved aren't going through their own thing, or the same thing. But as, it is what it is in my world right now.  For those of you who have me as a friend on facebook, you are able to see what we are up to almost daily. However, I do love the blogging world because I can get a little farther into detail as to what is happening and it is more of a bibliography. 

Things happen for a reason, and I believe in as much 'People' happen for a reason. I believe we come in contact with new, old, or people who have been there all along at different points for different reasons. Whether it be to learn or grow from, to lean on, to help in some way, or to simply be there for you so you are not alone. I have come to make friends who have come into my life who play all of those roles. And to that I am so very grateful for. I have learned recently your true friends and family are there for you when you need them. I have learned that even if you are in someone's life for several years and the odds aren't necessarily in your favor.. but aren't completely against your favor, people will still drop you at any given time. And to those people I say shame on you. Shame on the fact that if something is to happen for the good of two people how hard it is to forgive you for your words, thoughts and actions. Especially when there are children involved who deserve the respect as well. To those of you who do not show nor share any ill feelings but only support I thank you.  My family members are HUGE examples to me of this. Spite any negativity that has come into my life not ONE member of my family will share or say anything to provoke any hard feelings or any sense of..... oh, I will say it, DRaMa. I cannot explain how much this means to me. I have an amazing family. I truly believe there is no family out there like them. Ah, and it is sad that every parent, or all siblings out there cannot be like mine. I WISH I were a spitting image of mine and their examples. I can only  keep TRYing.

So, as I am trying my best to BE at my best as a mother to 3 BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING children. I will do my best at blogging and sharing these wonderful moments that we share together. I wish to share more detailed stories. It is amazing at what they come up with and do. West boggles my mind daily with his smarts. Gage just tries his hardest to keep up with him as he copies every little thing he does. And Alyssa, ohh man, ALYSSA she is going into Jr High! It is only going to get more tough (it only has to because it has been an absolute JoY and so easy thus far with Lys)! Just as, I feel SO old!  

As it is summer.. and actually has turned into summer, I plan to be as outdoorsy as we can be together.  I love being outside. I love the mountains. I love the feelings I have when I am in the mountains. There is a closeness to my heavenly father that I feel. A sense of peace, comfort and even patience. Stay tuned...

Much Love,

Mindy
