Today’s kids: Senior. Junior. Freshman. Five. Four. Three.
Tomorrow: Charlie turns 6. Kaitlin begins her job as a CNA; her first step on a path to further medical degrees.
Two weeks: Connor gets his license. The possibility of him going into the Air National Guard is a mere 10 months away.
Three months: Kylie turns 14 the 1st day of high school. Charlie goes back to the school & teachers we adore.
Four months: Brynlee turns 4. She and Kolbie will start preschool with the best teacher (who was taught by the best, and she was taught by the best) 35 minutes away because it’s exactly where I want them.
Five months: 21st wedding anniversary. A strong marriage that has never wavered.
It’s a strange season of life; I’m a young mom and an old mom all at the same time. It’s a mix of beginnings and endings. Chapters of life that seem to land smack in the middle right at this very moment in time. A time where I assumed we’d have more money & a bigger house, and yet we are richer than I ever dreamed. Because it’s a life of love. A life of kept promises—both by us, and always by God. It’s a life that continues to rack up faith & trust, and raising up & releasing kids.
