Where the heck have I been?
Well I have not posted in forever. Really life has been too busy and at times so much was happening at once that I couldn't figure out even where to start a new entry. I kept thinking that if I did start a new entry that it would take forever to catch everyone up and I just couldn't bear the thought of it.
Since my last post in January a lot of things have happened. The kids have ended school and started school. The winter has ended, the spring has sprung past, the summer has come and gone(although it still feels like summer out), and now fall is approaching.
As a family we have celebrated the second birthday of Christopher, the fourth birthday of Frances and we are now approaching my well, my next birthday. Jessica has gone to camp and come home again, Elizabeth has experienced her first week at camp, and Frances has now started JK.
My sister has returned from Indonesia with her husband and children. We have enjoyed a wonderful time of re-connecting, I have re-connected with old friends through face book, re-connected with my favorite pastor of all time, my first boyfriend, the first boy who truly loved me for everything I was and am, and still does, a friend who only had one kid who now has two, and an old friend who had no kids and now has two. I have in short become addicted to facebook. It is so cool to hear from people you haven't seen or heard from in forever.
We have had changes to the house, the garage got cleaned out and we filled an entire huge bin with garbage. The bedroom is completely different, new furniture, new draperies, new bed, clean clean bedroom. Now we only have to paint. Cordelia, Blythe, and Oz got makeovers. Our entire garden and lawn got cleaned up, we have a new play-center in our backyard donated by the church, and they built in a sand-box to boot for our children to enjoy.
Now we are attending a new Church, making new friends and I am getting baptized. I am starting again at 37, too long I have wasted in the never ending question of who I am, and now I know I don't plan to waste a single day away. It is over! Finished! The past can finally now(of course after the actual baptism where I may have to talk a little about it), be just that the past. My history and never again my present or future. I won't let it be, I choose to live for Jesus and let him take everything else away.

I am once again inspired by your courage in facing your past so you can leave it there. I'll pray that after Sunday it will finally and forever remain there.
Love,
Auntie Mo
