After a year or so of silence

Have you ever felt that you wanted to write and then held back because you thought what's the point of writing when you only have very few followers? Duh? So true for me but then I realized that the main reason I started this family blog is not for anybody else but for me. This is my outlet, my tunnel out of a busy, tiring and maybe dreary day. Days have passed by, weeks, months and even a year has passed and guess what? I really didn't post anything at all.

Can I sum up what happen in a year in just one post? Well, let me give it a try...

1. Hallie turned 2 last August 17 and she is such a darling to the family. She loves to play dress up and put on my lipstick. She enjoys cuddling her googly bear and twirly pinky bear. She also loves to play with her brothers even if it involves sword fighting ( lol!)

2. Helaman started first grade and just as he has leveled up, so is his reasoning skills...oooh! there are days that I just want to laugh at how he responds when I question him and there are also moments when I just want to blow off steam... why oh why...

3. Henry got baptized and it was such a special moment for all of us. He has taken the first step in following the path the Savior has taught and I earnestly pray that he'll grow up to be a good young man.

4. Dan and I are enjoying the journey of parenthood and as husband and wife. I can say that we are growing to be so much alike in many ways. So far so good as they say...

5. When it comes to career, Dan opened his business again and this time I took matters in my hands. I did all the legwork and it was a great learning experience. I still have a lot to learn though and somehow I can see a bright future in this endeavor as I help him build up his career or shall I say our career. hehe!

6. Dan got released from his call as a bishop and is now currently serving as a counselor in the stake presidentcy. He pretty much enjoys his meetings but misses being a bishop. As one scripture verse say.. "to everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under the heavens" He is striving to grow where he is called and I am and will sustain him whatever that calling will be.

 

I guess these pretty much sums up what happened the past year. We have weathered storms along the way both as a result of bad choices and part of the challenges of life. We just have to move forward and press on.
