Transitions and I'm Still In My Right Mind.....I Think

I don't know how to start this blogpost. There's so much on my mind right now. I was finally able to find my train of thoughts after all the transitions that took place this month. So if my thoughts seem somewhat scattered, don't mind me because major changes have taken place in my life recently.

My son, Trae, got engaged the first week of this year. 

We are really excited for him and his soon to be bride.

They took the courtship route. 

Trae and Aubrey have also decided to wait until their wedding day 

to share their first kiss together.

 No wedding date has been set. We do have an idea of the time frame in which the wedding will occur. They can't set an official date yet because Trae left last week for basic training. What we do know is that they will marry the day after he graduates in late May, early June.

Ryan, our son in-love, also left for basic training. He left two weeks ago to start his career. He waited long and demonstrated patience throughout the whole process.

Ruthie and Mikey moved back to our hometown to spend time with Ryan's family before they get stationed. Ryan's mother was gracious enough and very happy to have them there. Ruthie is now towards the end of her second trimester with baby #2. She is so excited to bring another blessing into this world. I miss her already. She's my best friend. I am however, thankful for technology. What I really miss is my grandbaby, Mikey.




So with within eleven days, my son, my daughter, my son in-love and my grandbaby moved. It's bittersweet for us. We are so proud of our children. We give glory to God. We see His word at work here.

Proverbs 22:6, 

"Train up a child in the way he should go, 

and when he is old he will not depart from it."

Don and I still have two children left at home. 

After all these years, we are still madly in love with each other. 

We love the life we have together.

Woman 2 Woman Tip: Just because our children grow up, that doesn't mean we have to grow apart from our spouse. During the time that your children are home, make sure you invest time in your marriage now. You don't want to wake up one day and all the people (your children) you know are gone and you're laying next to a stranger.
