Here we go again

I've been thinking that I would like to get back into blogging.  Hopeful that I will be able to stick with it this time.

Fall is upon us and Winter is just around the corner.  I'm not sure why, but I honestly feel like there are some BIG changes coming my way.  I feel a renewed sense of hope and motivation in my life.  For quite sometime I feel as if I have just been going through the motions and living day after day in the same old rut. Now I feel a new sense of excitement about life and what it holds for me and my family.  I'm almost afraid to say that, because I don't want to be disappointed..... I just need to keep the faith and remain strong and not let the devil steal my joy.  Please pray with me that I will be able to stand strong against the devil, because we know when we step out to do what's right is when he rears his UGLY head and comes at us full force.

I got home a couple weeks ago from seeing my sweet family in Hawaii and had a wonderful time.  We kept the roads hot every day and saw so many beautiful sites and had so many wonderful adventures.  I've spent 6 weeks in Hawaii in the past 10 months.  I'm starting to feel like a local!  Next year, Miranda and Shelby will probably be moving their family to Mississippi.  Since that's so much closer, I hope to be able to visit more often than I do now.  I'm sure it will be different, because Miranda will be working and Tristan will be in school, but I'm looking forward to the new adventure!

I love my grandbabies more than life itself.  Tristan is 4 1/2 and Kate is 2.  They both keep me in stitches.  Kate has NO idea that she is 2 1/2 years younger than Tristan.  She thinks she is just as big as he is....and she's pretty convincing.  Anytime you are out with them, someone asks if they are twins!  Part of it is because Tristan is small for his age, and Kate is a "giant".  There's not much difference in their size.  I am so blessed to be their Mimi.

I'm planning on having a "white tornado" party today and try to get my house in some sort of order.  I've let so many things go that I just need to give it a good going over.  I always love it when the house is clean and smells good.  I'm looking forward to firing up my Scentsy warmers with some yummy fall scents!

I know I have rambled on about a lot of different things, but I'm starting over with my blogging attempt and hopefully I will improve with time and practice.

Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we are getting ready to start on a new journey.  I will blog about it more as things progress.  Thanks for reading, and most of all, thanks for your friendship...
