i heart this one person



So...when I was barely 11 years old I met someone who, at the time, I didn't realize would become someone who would help shape my life and become one of the most important people I would ever have the privilege of knowing.  I won't expose her name here...since I'm not sure how "kosher" that would be. haha.  This woman was my age (now) when she came into my life.  It's really strange how life has it's twists and turns.  She was my shoulder to cry on, my favorite person to laugh with, we loved shopping together, we sang in the car, wore the same outfits, liked the same food, had "fights" and made up, enjoyed the same hobbies, and from what we still hear...even LOOK ALIKE.  My "Lou" and I have been through a lot of high and a lot of low times together.  We haven't always gotten a long, but some how always seem to figure our way through those times.  We have hurt each other and gotten over it.  We have made memories that will last a lifetime.  I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything.  I mean, sure...I have my regrets of things I have said, done, and ways that I have acted...but I don't think we would have as much respect for each other if we hadn't gone through all that we have.  I love this person with all of my heart and thank God sooo much for her.  I let her into a place in my heart that I haven't allowed anyone else to inhabit..and I wouldn't kick her out for anyone to else to live there to this day.  She stole my heart with her soft little voice and sweet demeanor.  (This is sounding so sketchy, but I promise it's not). hahahahaha  Lou instantly became my best friend, and although our relationship should have been a little different, I am glad that it is the way it is.  We can go for months without seeing each other and it's like nothing has changed.  We laugh our butts off together, we talk about the nitty gritty stuff that no one else knows about, we stay up all hours of the night reminiscing about the "good old days", and there is never a dull moment.  I miss her terribly.  It's crazy how we have to grow up and become responsible adults and move all over the place and leave people that we adore behind.  I am just thankful that she is and always will be a part of my life, no matter where in the world we are.  
I heart this person....my strawberry lou.


OLDIE :)

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...
