The Year of Changes

I have gone back and forth and rewritten this post several times.  Trying to put all of my thoughts together has been really hard.  September 2011 was probably the worst time we have faced together as a married couple.  I don't want people to think we were having problems....we are GREAT! It was a matter of very UNEXPECTED and SHOCKING events taking place within our families, we realized our lives were never going to be the same.

Adjusting to these changes has been difficult.  They are things we can never fix.  We can't go back and   "what if" I had done this...."what if" I had done that...it has happened and now we just need to find a 'new' normal.

During this time, I really had to focus on the gospel.  We were very fortunate to have such wonderful family and friends surrounding us and helping us through these changes. Saying the right things at the right time. Even saying the wrong things but at the right time, if that makes sense.   For that I will be forever grateful.  People really are placed in our lives for a reason.

It is an ongoing process of trying to understand these circumstances.  I have come to realization that we will probably not fully understand what has taken place and why but I know someday we will get the answers.

I have high hopes for September 2012 to September 2013...here's to finding and succeeding with the 'new normal'!
