a year later

Clearly, I haven't been consistent. Although, daily, while doing things around the house, farm chores or watching the kids I think, well this would make a great post. Hopefully, this pandemic will get me back into it.

Well, you read that right, this pandemic. Coronavirus. Covid-19. What a strange world we are living in.

We have been under 'Stay-at-home' orders since March, and hopefully coming off of it in a week or two. PRAISE the LORD. Looks like things will maintain the same- masks in public, limited amount of people in buildings... oye. Friday, is E's Kinder Celebration and I have all sorts of feels. I just can't believe we are at that point. Like, boom. School's done.

BUT one thing in this that I am grateful for... the time to be with each other. The time to be grateful for US. The time to really make memories and not take for granted our family.

A motto for our family has ALWAYS been, "you may not have it all, but together we have it all" and it plays even more true NOW. When people are stocking up on toilet paper, stocking up on cleaning supplies, stocking up on meats and chicken. We may not have it all.... but we do. I have everything I need under my roof. I have everything I need in my arms every day.

And, lastly, as much as I want to think about the future.... I need to be where my feet are. be with my kids. Be in the NOW. be HERE.
