Hopeful, optimistic and yet, wondering what is in store for this next year. Honestly, I try to think about Mitchell and his ever changing personality, but my thoughts continue to wander to Justin being deployed at some point in the next six months. How do people do it? Thoughts have come up that I wish no one would ever have to even think about the possibility, but I guess that I need to be real and ready for what could happen.
Sorry that I haven't blogged for awhile. This holiday season was quite busy to say the least! I had always wanted to host the family for the special occasions but really? Did it have to be so crazy? I often find myself with the perfect day of celebrations in mind and it does not happen! I spent hours shopping and prepping meals and gifts to try and be the great host and it never really turns out the way that I would like! I guess that is what happens when expectations are set and then stuff comes up. Or the fact that I have a baby and I really should never place any expectations upon him and how I would really like, in my mind, to be the perfect mom!
Moving on.......I really haven't taken to many pics recently but now that the crazy season is done with for now, I would really like to start up again. Along with blogging and maybe changing the idea of my blog a bit! Not so focused on being a mother, but rather my daily walk with God and how it is really absent. Or even being a wife and trying to support my husband more and more. So many other things than being a mom, but that is what I truly love, so still, this will be my life and how I just want to be real with God and his people!
Have a great day everybody and I love you all!

Allison --
You are a PERFECT mom -- perfect for Mitchell. God gave you to him. Sometimes I wish it stressed you less, but I never wish you were doing things differently, or doing different things. OK, so you're not a perfect person. But you have and you provide everything Mitchell needs from you. You bring the right blend of warm and cool, flexible and firm, and all the other characteristics that He wanted to bless Mitchell with. It all gets easier as soon as they get a little mobility. They tell you in no uncertain terms that they are ready to explore the world beyond the security you provide -- as long as they can get back to you right away when they want! You are doing a great job! Relax and enjoy it.
Love,
Michele
