Change

I'm back.  I did not die. I did not lose my mind. I've just been busy with life.  I'm not going to start off promising to blog more, because I don't know when or if I'll blog again.  I will start off with an update!

Change has come since the last time I blogged...which is probably obvious since it has been over a year since our last reunion.  The princesses are now 3 and 4, and princess #1 is about to begin the second semester of Pre-K.  While princess #1 is learning and excelling in school, princess #2 is relishing in the fact that she gets to stay home and have fun with Mommy everyday.  We also decided to change our palace location.  As of April 30, 2012, we are officially Texans (not really...they all still call us Yankees down here...original, huh?)!!!!  We now live 5 minutes from Mimi and Poppy's house and are settling nicely into our own home.   I've never been so thankful to have my own home...for half the year we were living with my parents while finding a place to live!  Yes, we all survived and I think they might even still be glad that we moved down!

Princess #1, our Emma Grace, lives in a magical world of dressing up and having concerts.  She enjoys using her big vocabulary by telling us things are "brilliant" and telling her Sadie Rose not to "panic".  Princess #2, sweet Sadie Rose, spends her days in non-stop conversation with her imaginary friends, who always have interesting names such as Henna and Merleah.  They adore life and constantly make us laugh.

Justin and I have now been married almost 6 years!!!!! Time flies when you're having babies!  We are now able to enjoy date nights regularly, which have been a rarity in our marriage until now.  Thanks to Mimi and Poppy who have fun sleepovers for the Princesses while I date my husband.

Change is abundant in our lives as we watch our girls grow and embark on big adventures in this even bigger world.  2012 was year of personal and spiritual change in our lives.  I'm feeling renewed and refreshed spiritually as I watch God bless our family, church, and youth group.  I'm thankful for the changes of 2012; but even more so, I am anticipating the changes God will make in my family's lives in 2013! Happy New Year!
