Every time Im ever on my computer I see the link for my blog on the toolbar and think "I need to post.. eh Ill do it later" and consequently I have forgotten exactly how long it has been since Ive last posted!!! Alas I dont think Im all that great of a blogger hahaha.
Anyway.. Today, my readers, is my birthday. I have never been huge on birthdays, at least not my own, since I was younger, my family never did anything huge for birthdays and I never really cared about it. Whats another year right? well with the thought that its been 4 years since the birth of my daughter and 2 years since we have been trying to have a sibling for her.. and now finally being pregnant again.. and it being my fourth pregnancy.. it makes me wonder how long we really hold onto things through the years. Im not talking about physical things either , Im talking about guilt, fear, sorrow, pain.. even happiness.. Ive been thinking about my brother a lot lately.. for those of you who know me really well, it will shock you when I say my YOUNGER brother.. yea.. I know right! He has been on my mind every now and then and I really dont know why considering everything that has happened in our entire relationship. Yet lately I know hes struggling with something.. be it fear of the future or past agony... I dont know.. all I know is that he is hurting.. somehow.. someway.. unfortunately he wont be able to read this for a bit.. but you all will.. and Im asking you all to just keep him in your thoughts, or pray for him if you think about it. He could definitely use something very cheerful in his life.
Living in Virginia now.. it has been quite a difference.. the sticker shock alone would make a person moving from the midwest nearly faint!! The first few weeks here have been rough. Im not at all excited about how much noise comes through our bedroom window or how there is just SO MUCH out here! Im so used to country back roads and times of quiet and fields and friendly people! I admit I was quite sad the first few weeks we moved here because its all CITY. We decided to move into a town that is about a 30 minute commute for Hubs. Alas I am still not working because we dont know if we will be moving again anytime soon... the joys of the military...
We finally found a church that is really close to our apartment and its a small church, MAYBE 50 to 70 people. And as such I have met and become friends with some AMAZING women. We meet once a week for a bible study and it has been such a blessing for me. Being able to be surrounded by such loving women is something I will never forget and even though I would desperately love to move west again I will be very very sad when I have to say goodbye to these wonderful friends Ive made.
