Today just happens to be Father's Day, and I just want to say how thankful I am to still have mine to celebrate.  I think there are a lot of people who are suffering today without their daddies.  Parents are such a blessing to have.  Those of us who have always had parents to take care of us our whole life's don't realize just how special they really are. I cannot imagine my life without my daddy.  
I unfortunately don't have a ton of memories of my childhood with my dad, but from what I hear, I was daddy's girl :).  There were a few years in my life that I held a lot of unexplained resentment towards my dad, for things that I could not change or excuse...so it hasn't always been a bed of roses.  Thank God I realized just how important it was to still have him.  I sought forgiveness for the wasted years I had spent feeling the way I did.  We were able to renew our father daughter relationship and have been blessed to have so many new memories.  
My daddy is my rock.  He has seen me through all my silly childhood and teenage phases, he has provided for me, he keeps me safe when I feel in danger, he comforts me when I feel like I can't go on, and most of all he has always loved me despite my flaws.  
I am not a parent, so I have no idea how it must feel to watch your child grow and eventually become an adult.  I imagine it is like a roller coaster ride.  Thankfully my dad stayed on the ride.  Nothing can compare to the love and support that he has always given to me.  He has always encouraged me to be myself, be strong, follow my dreams, and to never give up.  He instilled in me principles  that are invaluable, just by his example.  By the world's standards he is no where near perfect, but to me, he is!!  

Cheers to another Father's Day that I am able to celebrate mine!

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
