Life moves right along

It has been a while since I have posted. I really need to keep this up, not that anyone reads this, but I think it is good for my soul. I think I am having a difficult time with the little birds leaving the nest. Now, my oldest flew (literally) a long way from home, but she returned. It is the second child that may kill me. She seems to want to stay as far away from us as she can get. I don't know where she has gone most of the time. I have to give thanks for texting, but still...... I am sure this is something that happens when kids grow up but I am still not happy about it. I do still have Briana who will always be close by just so she can tell how to run things...like I listen to her at all. This doesn't stop her and we still love her. Krista and Joanna still have a lot of growing up to do so my job isn't completely finished. God's hand in creation is evident in my house. All my children were created in His image but with diversity. In the mean time, I am working on finding things to do with my partially empty life. I have taken up running. I will begin training for a half marathon that I will run in October. Before then I will run a 5K on July 4. Running is getting very difficult due to the weather. I ran Monday, it was 99 degrees. I only got 2 miles in. Well, now that that is off my chest, I feel much better. I can now get on with my midlife crisis.
