Big Thanks.

I just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It truly was not an easy thing to share and I’ve debated sharing but this is a huge part of my life right now and it just felt strange blogging here knowing there was this huge elephant in my life. But the way you guys just gave me strength and sent prayers for our moms made me realize that I did the right thing by sharing. I shed several tears reading your comments and I just want you to know just how much all of you mean to me. I’ve been really bad with responding to comments (I’m going to change that!) but just know that I read and appreciate every single one of them.

I am feeling pretty good right now. This week was a good week. I felt lighter and almost like a burden has been lifted. My niece had her 2nd birthday party (yeah, how is she already two?!) which I will share soon and we just had a great time. Life is so precious and only keeps moving quicker so I’m trying very hard to just enjoy the days that I do have, and the days that are good, I do not take them for granted anymore.

Tomorrow is my nephew’s birthday party (he is 5!) and I’m excited to see my family again. I miss them all the time.

We moved into the house on the 3rd and we’re still in the process of packing up the apartment and unpacking at the house. The only two rooms fully unpacked in our house is our kitchen and our bathroom. Lots of work to be done and lots of boxes which our cat is very grateful for. I must say that I really love our house. It feels like home even with all our crap lying about.

Before we moved, I donated tons and tons of clothes, shoes and jewelry. I just have so much and after a while it became too much. There was no reason for me to have all this stuff that I rarely used. Some things I never wore or wore once which is such a waste but I know there will be a few happy people out there :). My sisters were also very happy with some pieces I gave to them. If I really loved it and knew one of my sisters would, I gave it to them. It felt really good to just let go of these items. I don’t even think I’ll miss them.

So life right now is trying to get the house together, little by little. We’ve been busy the last several weekends which is the reason for the delay, but we’ll get there, eventually.

I hope that next week I’ll post a few times just to get myself moving in the right direction since one of the things I want to do this year is blog more. So I’m going to have to hold myself to that next week. Crossing fingers.

I hope that you all had great weeks and that you have even greater weekends.
And again thank you from the bottom of my heart XOXO ♥
