Geez...it has been basically a month since I put a post on here.
We have been working hard on a home DIY paver patio project. I am planning to post pictures of the start to finish, but it isn't quite done yet, so that will just have to wait. DIY stuff always seems so easy. You read about it online, check out the supplies, whatever gets you thinking you can do it. THEN you actually start doing it and realize at some point that man, this is way harder than I thought it would be...and man, there is a reason there are LANDSCAPERS in this world. But since we have no funds for a professional we are winging it and doing it ourselves. I love a good project though so I am not complaining...it was just a little more involved then I thought it would be...besides, you can't learn how to do anything unless you actually do it.
Makenna's surgery is quickly approaching and I am finding myself online again and reading and fretting. One good thing is that I stumbled upon a new blog- Mommy Ever After. She posted about her first 10 days of adjusting to her daughters glasses on the Little Four Eye's website, you can read about it here http://littlefoureyes.com- (I have no idea how to make that fancy so you get the whole address). Honestly this woman's writing is so much like how I felt it is almost eery. It brought back a lot of emotions for me, and now that Makenna is having surgery this week I think I just feel more emotional anyway. I am trying not to think about it. I know she will do great, she is actually a very strong little girl. Joe and I on the other hand...
I changed the blog header with a picture of the girls that I just adore. It just makes me smile. They are getting so big. So big so fast. This summer Makenna will be THREE. Seriously? Katey is starting Kindergarten in just a few short months. What? Hold the phone, time is going too fast. Joe and I just celebrated our 7th anniversary and we have officially been together for ELEVEN years. Come on! Wise words are always shared by family or friends that are older than you..."time flies, before you know it your kids will be graduating" or something similar. What is the deal with time going faster the older you get? It goes faster at times you want to cherish and enjoy. It goes faster during times you don't want to let go of. Why didn't it go fast when I was 10 and summer seemed to go on and on? When I had absolutely not a worry in life, it could have sped up then. I would be happy if I could at least have a pause button once in a while. That's not too much to ask for is it?
