I'm BACK!

Are you still there?!!  It's been awhile since I've checked in! 

Since I arrived home JUST four weeks ago, life has been CRAZY busy!  But... AMAZING!

I hit the ground running when I got back and Sharon has had to run right along with me!  She has handled everything beautifully!  Even though sometimes I catch her staring at me like a deer in headlights!

The day after I got home, Kat and her friend, Emma, had a garage sale to raise money for mission trips...

Followed by our annual dance recital dress rehearsal (on Monday) and performance (on Tuesday)...

Then we had piano recital on Thursday... 

Our school's annual "Classics Festival" on Saturday...

followed that night by a friend's graduation!  That was week ONE!

My second week home...

I spent the first couple of days running around like a mad women getting everything needed for Kat's graduation ceremony...

Thank you, Minda, for the amazing Cake Pops!

On Wednesday, my precious Mom came into town...

Then the last day of school and "Moving Up Ceremony" was on Thursday...

followed by Graduation on Friday...

Oh. My. Goodness!

But... as crazy busy as it has been... I am so HAPPY and BLESSED to be home!

I am learning to be in the moment... to not take where I am right this minute for granted.  I'm learning to enjoy this moment and not rush ahead to the next one before it's time.  I am also learning that life isn't an emergency... it's a journey.  And to be completely in the moment is the best way to enjoy the journey.

I hope that in the midst of the craziness of life... you will be able to enjoy and appreciate...

right. where. you. are. this. moment.
