fresh starts

WOW! It's been a very long time since I have posted anything, frankly, I forgot for a while that I even had this account, and really wasn't in the mood to "talk". Obviously there is a lot to fill you in on, but, Rome was not built in a day either. So, for starters..I am still married to an even better man! I am still a mom of 3, but recently one of my BFF's moved in with her 2 daughters so now i guess i am a surrogate mom to 2 more kids and 1 more dog! we currently have 2 dogs of our own as well. so, in a 1800 sq ft. home we have 3 adults, 5 kids and 3 dogs! good thing there is a lot of love and patience to go around! (Thank you JESUS) Kirsten is now 11 years old (going on 25) Ashlyn is 7, and Ayden is 6. They are all trying to find their own way and are generally good kids w/sporadic momentary laps of insanity. Kirsten is a ballerina, Ashlyn is about to start gymnastics (thank God, cause I cringe every time she tries to do flips in the yard!) and ayden is the typical boy who loves baseball and fishing. we are on the outside a very typical, "normal" American dream family. BUT, open the doors to our home and lives, and you will see something very different. LOL. Welcome BACK to my world, where everything moves at an alarming rate most days as I am learning to stay "in the moment" if i venture out, the results are not so pretty! lol
