Amazed

I want to start off by saying.... I had no idea you still existed. I was sure blogger would have deleted me due to inactivity. It's been 2 years since I blogged. A lot has happened in two years. We found out my Nana had cancer. Put our house on the market so we could move closer to Nana. Moved in with Nana until our house sold. Lost 3 contracts on our house before it finally sold. Spent most of the summer in a hotel room in Ohio where Matt was working. Found the perfect house. Someone else bought it before we made it back to draw up an offer. Found a house for a great price about 25 minutes from Nana's house. Made an offer & got it inspected to find out it had major termite infestation. But.... Third times a charm because the third house we found was "IT". A couple weeks after Matt found a job here locally we lost Nana to cancer. I know it seems like the last year sort of revolved around my Nana. And it sort of did. Spending the last year with her was the amazing. My kids got to experience the childhood I had spending time with one of the greatest people I've ever met. We had an awesome year. And then it ended. At 3:30am on March 5th my Nana (and my very best friend) went to meet our maker. It was the most painful experience of my life. I felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest. It still feels like I've been punched in the gut every time I think of her. But time heals all wounds. Hopefully some day I can think of her and smile instead of cry. Ok.... back to today. The kids are finally adjusting to small town living. They have friends. We have a church. I miss my Coweta family all the time. But I finally feel like we are home.

I was looking back at old posts and realized how much I have changed in 2 years. So over the next day or two I'm going to go over my "to-do" list and see where I stand on certain things. Seems my priorities change with time and experience. Should be fun.
