One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. - Oliver Wendall Holmes

Somehow John convinced the girls to take a hunter

Somehow John convinced the girls to take a hunter safety course this weekend (there was only a *little* bit of complaining the night before the class, 😂). Since they've never done any shooting/hunting before (besides a BB gun), I wasn't sure how it would go...but all three passed! Grandpa Rick and Uncle TJ would be pretty proud. ♥️

17 years and two days. That's how long it's been since I said goodbye to my dad.

That was such a difficult year. I was pregnant with Chloe when he died, John graduated a few months later and we moved, I had Chloe (and she didn't sleep!), the postpartum depression was intense, and our marriage was in crises. I was so angry and crushed.

I can remember about six months after dad died, we were attending a Bible study and one of the questions was about a moment in your life that impacted/changed you deeply. One lady shared about losing her father 28 years prior. I remember trying to hold it together while she spoke because I could not fathom living with the excruciating pain I was in for that long.

What I wish I knew then?

That the pain would still show up but the times between the most intense grief would grow longer.

That the pain would enlarge my soul and change my perspective on the world. It would change the course of my life.

That my faith as I knew it then would crash and burn but it would be refined and grow stronger through suffering.

I miss my dad so much and still grieve all that might have been. I'll never "get over it" but I am grateful we had the time we did. Some day I'll see him again. Happy birthday in heaven, dad. ♥️

Happy birthday to Hannah! She keeps us laughing, is super creative, and definitely keeps us on our toes. (Oh, and we are now officially parents of three teenagers 😳)

One of John's Christmas presents was a "family field trip" each month. We missed January with all the crazy going on, but we squeezed this hiking trail in on the last day of February. Guess I better start planning for March!

For the past six years I've chosen a word of the year. This year, I've been kind of resisting it. (I think because last year my word was perseverance...and we all had to do so much persevering that I was completely over it!) 😳 But my friend @lesliebrazle shared this verse with me, and my word came easily after that. STRENGTHEN 🏋️‍♀️ is my word for the year. I want to strengthen body, mind, soul, and relationships (and who knows what else the word will come to mean for me by the end of the year)! I know it's already almost March, so I'm pretty behind--but do you choose a word for your year? If so, I would love to hear it! ♥️

Happy Halloween! 🎃
