2 Years...

Well, I have been thinking a lot about my blog and wanting to bring it back to life. Tonight as the family sleeps I am awake pondering life. So, I came here to see when I had blog last. I was shocked at first to see the last entry date, August of 2008. Then, I started thinking about what has happened since then.

Let me recap first. This blog was started during one of the hardest times in my life. I reread an entry tonight on a blog I follow that really hit home. It was upon reading this entry the first time that I started missing my blog. I started this blog shortly after I almost lost my marriage and best friend. I started this blog as a personal outlet. Well, as things in my relationship with Leah improved I stopped blogging. Now, I realize how much having an outlet can be beneficial. More on that later.

Now to catch up on what has happened in the past 2 years. (Wow 2 years). So, we mended our marriage and got a lot closer. We spent time in therapy and focusing on our relationship as wives and as moms. Six months later, we decided to grow our family. We got pregnant quickly this time around. In January of 2009, we became pregnant with baby #2. Tiny love was the name we called this baby. See, we decided not to find out the sex this go around. It was wonderful not knowing and finding out the day we gave birth. On September 2, 2009 Reid Louis Braswell joined our family.

Now life is busy with 2 kids and 2 working moms finding time for me once again has been pushed to the back burner. Lately, I have been in a funk. We have lots of changes ahead of us and my plate feels full. (I will expand on details soon). Life is always going to be busy. There are going to be times I feel overwhelmed. I am realizing that I need to take care of myself so I can do what I enjoy most- being a wife and mother. Here I go....
