random thoughts of moving on...

It's been nearly 4 weeks since I sat down at the computer, 

I didn't miss it much.

Just the little bits....

connecting, sharing, blogging.

life doesn't stop...

it just keeps going.

cooking, laundry, school, praying, laughing, playing, cleaning, sleeping

I'm thankful for that.

I feel peaceful about the loss of our baby.

God was merciful and loving,

that I am sure of.

The girls still ask about the baby.

They don't fully understand.

They say "it's not growing right now, but God will make it grow soon"

sigh.

Now that it's out there that we wanted a baby

...we're hearing how some people really feel about it.

and that hurts, a lot.

Especially when it feels like a threat.

All I want is to live the life God has planned for us,

not my will but his be done.

Vance is still mending.

We go back to the dr. again today,

hopefully to hear good news.

We've cut out nearly all grain, sugar & hard to digest foods.

I'm detoxing from chocolate. {grin}

We're planning our big winter RV trip.

8,000 miles on the charted map so far.

Everyone is dreaming big,

and I LOVE it.

I will be doing photography shoots along the way.

I'll post information soon.

It's not the purpose of the trip,

but I'm excited for it to be a part of our journey.

I LOVED meeting so many of you on our last trip.

...and really enjoyed seeing your Christmas cards. {grin}

Christmas cards. sigh.

I still haven't sent ours out.

I need to rewrite part of the letter...

the part where we announced our family was growing.

Thank you SO MUCH for all of your love

...your words, prayers, thoughts & hugs

have been such a blessing.

This world may be filled with pain and tears

but it's also full of love & kindness too.

And for that, I am thankful.

It wasn't a planned blogging break,

but I guess it's officially over now...

and it's good to be back!
