Today I was shopping for a few things and I realized that I am going to miss Danny, Amanda, Jayden, Brendan, & James birthday all within a couple of weeks of each other. So I took it upon myself to pick out a birthday present for Danny. Since, his birthday is on Halloween and send it to him. (Sorry Amanda you will most likely get a card) It took me a good 2 hours to pick something out. I have shopped for plenty of 4 year olds and I could not for the life of me choose something that met my standards. It dawned on me, I always let them choose what they want and I have to pick something out by myself. Not acceptable. I realize that I am not going to see them for a few more months and that breaks my heart! Sorry guys, I wish I could be there for all of our family festivities.
But, I have to say that I am SOOOO grateful for all of them. The yelling, the fighting. The many hugs and kisses. I love how close we are and that if I need anything, they would be on my doorstep in an instant. They keep me going. Even if it's a random text once a week, I know that they actually give a shizz about me. How great to have that feeling too.
I also realize that my Michigan adventure has just begun. I have a lot to learn and much to build on for myself and for Owen. There are crafts to do, goodies to make, a sister and her family that I have so much to learn about still! I have a half sister that I had never met until just recently and can I tell you really quick that she is amazing!
A lot of my roots are here and I am determined to see what this place has in store for us. I am close to all of the lakes and amazing things that this place has yet to show me! So here's to a whole new chapter in my life. The best is yet to come!
