I think its not a terribly big secret that I’ve been a bit busy the last week or so. Its true. I haven’t been home, but it was for good reason, and we are praising the Lord that I am officially home today!!! 💜 Woohoo! Its been a long week! I sure missed my people.
With that, as I sat on my own toilet this evening, and took a minute to actually scroll my phone, I saw on my Facebook memories that yesterday marked the yearly anniversary of my blog! I MISSED IT!!! Hahahahaha! That should show you how busy I’ve been!! Because yesterday officially marked eleven years!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Eleven years have been full of things to share – trips, milestones, babies, friends, crisis, loss, grief, cancer, surgeries, learning and growing. And now, let’s add a new career and foster care to that list! The last year has been yet another large one! But one I am endlessly grateful for.
I love where we are in our life right now. It is not perfect. Its not all popular. But we love the directions we’ve chosen to run (or roll) in.
Thank you to those who have stuck it out with us 💜 And to those who have followed this silly blog project! Its been a riot! Every blog anniversary, I toy with the idea of wrapping it up. But I missed this anniversary altogether, so I guess we’ll revisit that next year, haha!
Why stop now??
Eleven years 🥂
CONGRATULATIONS on your eleven years of blogging , my darling. I’m really proud of you, Hailey, my girl. Thank you for opening up your life to your readers and sharing your joys and sorrows…. your challenges and even your tears. Thank you for being vulnerable and showing us your imperfections and your beauty. You are an exceptional human being! And though you probably don’t know it, you challenge us, as your readers …… by sharing this spiritual wisdom of yours, with your honesty in word and deed, and your compassionate love for others……to be better people ourselves. So … today, my darling….. I want to thank you for writing this blog for 11 years and for opening your heart up to us. You are definitely my dream come true, my lovely daughter! Not because of what you’ve done here or what you have ever done but because you are you and I really like “you”!

This is possibly the most loving comment I have ever received. Thank you, mom, for being the example to me that you are, and for wanting me to feel encouraged and valuable. It means a lot to me that you care about our life. I care about yours too, and I’m happy to be in each others. I love you!!
