Praises

Blog and surrogate sis Chris is home from the hospital!!! Please continue to keep she, Mike (who should also be home very soon), the girls, and their entire family in your prayers as they heal and work towards reuniting as a family.

Reconnecting with an old friend of mine and Chris's from High School (thank you Patty)

A stronger sense of family (thank you for your support recently and in the future)

No unfinished business in my life that hasn't been addressed and working towards healing out of love (thanks for honest communication and forgiveness M)

God's creatures, especially those that live with the girls and I (loyal protectors)

My friends are the best in the world! Near or far, they are truly there for me and I couldn't live without them (Renata, Shelly, Patty B., Chris and Mike, and Missy)

God's Grace!

Lastly and most importantly my biggest and best blessings and true gifts, Kaley Rose and Caroline Elizabeth being the best daughter's a Mom could ever have and for coming so far in such a short time during our period of ongoing adjustment (you are both an inspiration to me)!

Answered Prayer!

I am so happy to report that my blogger sis Chris that I have been asking your prayers for has made HUGE progress and is doing great...God is good! I am so thankful for her and her family! The outpouring of people lifting them up during this difficult time has been inspiring and good for my soul. You all are wonderful and I just wanted to let you know how much their family (and I) appreciate your thoughts and prayers! Please keep them all in your prayers as the healing process continues for Chris and Mike undergoes surgery soon himself...

Now that things are moving forward on all accounts in my life too, I hope to get back on track with the backlog of posts that I need to write covering our summer. Here's a quick sneak peek: The girls and I went on our first ever "mother/daughter" road trip to the mountains of NC and the Atlanta area and had a blast, Caroline got yet another new pet, Kaley went away to the beach for a weekend with her BFF and family and started some new hobbies, we went on a day trip to one of my favorite places on earth...the local rose garden, and the girls spent the first week of the summer at the beach with my folks. We all had a great experience at VBS at a friend's church this summer too and have actually started attending there and start Awanas next week. Busy busy busy as I'm sure you all are! Now that they are back in school, we are on a better schedule and routine that should leave me some blogging time. :)

I also wanted to send heartfelt thanks to my awesome, loyal, supportive, funny, (I could go on and on here) girlfriends and blogger pals for helping me get through the separation and impending divorce and especially for loving me! The girls and I are still in therapy and we all continue to cope and adjust. I am so proud of Kaley and Caroline, they are great kids and are handling this really well all things considered. They truly are my biggest blessings in life!

Hope all is well with you and yours, I have been stopping by your blogs here and there and reading to get caught up. Stay tuned for more hopefully soon, I miss you all!

P.S. Check out the new title of my blog and recent photos I've added to the sidebar!

Prayer Request

As many of you know, my blogger sis and lifelong friend Chris is in the middle of a long journey with some serious health issues. Her husband Mike is about to undergo surgery himself in 2 weeks and if you recall they have a one month old and a two year old. This special family has been through more in the last 2 months than I would wish on anyone. They need your daily thoughts and prayers...please add the Bresnan Family (Mike, Chris, Lindsay and Brooke) to your church's prayer list so they will be lifted up and feel the love of so many who care about them during this very difficult time. I know they will appreciate it as will I...thanks!

Meet Baby Bresnan #2!

I am out of town meeting my new niece! Click here to get to blog sis Chris's page and see pix of the latest addition to the Bresnan family, look for updates tonight! I am guest blogging for her and posting them to her page for now and will do more here when I get home. Congrats!

ROAD TRIP!!!

I am taking the docs advice and taking a week off, leaving the kids with their Grandparents and Dad and am getting outta town for the weekend. Guess where I'm headed?! To ATL of course to be there for blogger sis Chris's delivery on Friday morning. Taking the lap top with me, so check back for baby pix! Can't wait...stay tuned for all the gory details soon, LOL!

Coming Clean

OK, so here I am saying I'm sorry again for not being able to keep up with the blog. I am letting you all know in this post what we have been dealing with and then hope to move on to happier posts. I decided to leave my husband back in March and we are going through a divorce at this time. It's been for coming for a few years and got to the point that became clear to me that it couldn't be saved. This is not a decision I take lightly and am saddened by it. We haven't been living together for over 2 months. The girls are adjusting as well as can be expected at this point, we are blessed to have a wonderful support network including family friends, guidance counselors, therapists, and recently new friends at church. We are all now at a point where we are starting to move on and get back to some sort of normalcy, so I hope to be able to find the time and energy soon to post some of the things I've missed.

I'm not saying anything to solicit sympathy (but prayers would be appreciated), but so you all will understand if I disappear from time to time. It's just a difficult time right now. I have been reading your blogs all the while, but just couldn't find it in me to write anything, hope you all understand and will keep checking back in on the girls and I when you can. Happy Independence Day to you and yours too!!!
