Oh hey - I almost didn't see you there.

I'm perfectly aware that no one reads this blog anymore. Why would they? I haven't updated it in 3 years...

I logged in today to try to narrow down some dates from the past to help Sean figure out when we last saw the neuro-surgeon. While doing that I re-read a few of my old posts.

As I looked through I was struck by how those thoughts and feelings came rushing back and I found myself living those moments again: Would Sean be okay, and what would we do if he wasn't? Was my Jordan really on the road to marriage and what would it be like to blend our family with Jessica's? How would Carter and Anna do? Would they survive the crucible of such an early thrust into marriage and family? What would life be like in 1 year, in 2, in 5?

There have been many joys and pains along the way, and life has shifted and changed so much more than I could have predicted, but at the same time, the deep foundations are still strong and weathering things quite well.

I love my life, and I love you.

repectfully,
