We were asked to make an impossible decision yesterday.
Just know that if you want to do foster care that you will feel heartbreak that you did not know you could physically handle.
Over and over.
If you really do what is best for these kids and love them like your own, you will get hurt.
My hope and prayer at the end of the day is the decisions we make bring more good than bad.
Is it still worth it?
Yes.
Sometimes I have to remind myself of that though.
It’s funny too me how important dates are early on.
You need to celebrate on that exact date or maybe you aren’t married after all?
I understand that some people still really like to celebrate on the exact date for things but I have realized recently that dates don’t mean as much to me.
Moments do.
This year we did not really plan anything for our anniversary.
Life happened.
Beautiful, amazing, everyday life.
The one I dreamed about before I met Nick and was having a lonely moment.
I would rather enjoy this everyday life then stress about making the day stand out and be different.
Maybe we go on a hike tomorrow or go to a festival, maybe not.
I will still enjoy spending the weekend with this analytical, caring, amazing man.
I am so thankful for 11yrs of growing stronger together.
I am blessed.
*Updated with pics of Little Bit
I was going to do a school post but lost the pictures.
I usually keep them organized by month and subject but I must have been lazy and put them in the wrong folder…
I take way too many pics to be lazy like that.
They have now disappeared into a black hole and I may never do a post on what books we read for the middle ages.
So instead, I am sharing zoo pictures.
This Rhino decided to go around their barriers to get to the ornamental grass they had growing.
The plus side was we got to see him REALLY close!
You know it is hot when I buy one of those icey drinks…
It was nice but I wish they had fruit flavors.
So if you read this Tulsa Zoo, please at fruit juice to your list.
Thank you.
Ha!
This bear looked like he was using his floaty as a kick board.
Appropriate since the boys are taking swimming lessons every day.
I will be really excited when they end in a few weeks by the way!
I am not programmed to get kids all out the door every morning.
Also, I consider summer to be my break…
Update!!!
I found my missing pics.
They were on my other camera.
Carry on.
