Here I am this Monday morning sitting on the couch with my coffee starring out the back door at the darkness and gloominess of rain. Its like the sky is crying for me since this morning our summer came to a close. Its been a good three months... no not good, AMAZING! I am so thankful for all the time we have got to spend as a family. We have been able to experience more things this summer than some in a lifetime. I have been so blessed.
Ryan left this morning for his first day of orientation and so ends a huge chapter of our lives. A chapter although hard and challenging, has been one that has made our marriage stronger and I for one am better because of it. I wouldn't change or trade these years for anything. How can we grow if circumstances never stretch you to your limits? I know throughout this process I have had situations that have caused things to boil and bubble up out of me I did not even know existed. Some of the things I liked and was proud of, but more often than not it was characteristics that would make me cringe and be embarrassed. God is working and molding me though and Im thankful for Ryan's patience with me.
I am so proud of Ryan and all he has accomplished. He never ceases to amaze me with everything he can juggle. I am going to miss him being around 24/7, but now life is going to have to jump back into reality gear again.
Housework will have to be done.
Planning Audras school year will have to be done.
Setting attainable goals will have to be done.
Meal planning will have to be done.
A lot will have to be done.
So today I am going to work on getting back into a routine of life, and be thankful that my husband has a job. Hopefully it will help take my mind off the fact that Im going to miss him and the joy that these past three months have been.
