Where I've been...

It's been a while since my last post and I'm not sure why. Probably because so many things have happened I'm not sure where to start, and what to even say about any of it. I've been working on my divorce. Yes, it's for sure, and yes, it's hard. I just can't deny the feeling I have that everything will be fine. Actually, I think it will be even better than fine.
I have been to the funeral of a dear friend. She was the first person I visited when I returned to Moses Lake and her words of encouragement carried me a long way. My heart is heavy knowing she won't be here to see her predictions come to fruition. I hope I prove her right.
I have been to a wedding that was miraculous in every sense of the word. He isn't even supposed to be alive today yet, there he was, standing beside his wife, strong and full of life. I don't know the last time I've witnessed something so powerful. They are an inspiration to me.
I had the two of the most "enlightening" conversations with two separate old friends last night that, even now, have left me speechless. I am just grateful for friends who care enough about me to tell me the truth, even if it kind of hurts, and even if it's really ugly.
I have been watching my daughter grow up right before my eyes. Half of me wants to freeze time and keep her this age forever and the other half is so excited to see how much she learns every day. She can wave and clap, and say "hi." She has cut her top two teeth for a grand total of four! She is so close to walking it's crazy. And overnight she has become incredibly social. It's kind of cute to watch her interact with everyone she meets. Apparently her separation anxiety phase only lasted about two weeks! Her newest trick, however, is singing along to the radio in the car. It's sort of a cross between screaming and yodeling. And it's dang cute.
So, that's what I've been up to. I wish I had pictures to post, but I keep forgetting to buy batteries for my camera.

I am very sad to hear of your pain. I heard a bit about your struggle a few weeks ago(shortly before hearing sad news from one of our mutual freinds)and, honestly, it made me cry. It is so frusterating that one can invest so incredibly much and yet, all of that progress is ultimately subject to someone else's agency. You deserve the best (i.e. not "good" or "better"). Please know that we are praying for you.

Even though I don't keep up like I should, you're always in my prayers, Camery. I would love to meet Natalie - she sounds absolutely adorable.
