Back from the silence...
So its been a quiet month on the blog front. Im sorry to my faithful readers, and to myself for not documenting more. But regardless, I'm here now. And I am writing.
This month I lost one of my heros. On Saturday, January 19th, my grandpa passed away. To say that this was the hardest experience of my life is an understatement. This was a week in my life that still feels like a dream. To see my family that broken, still feels like a really bad dream. But as hard as that week was, honestly moving forward is scarier. Everything about my family is about to change. The way we do holidays. Going home for visits. Everything is changing. Faster than I ever thought it possible. It all changed in an instant. Its funny that I never realized that Pap was kind of the glue that held us all together. He made all of us stronger just be being him. Just by his existence in our lives. His support and love helped to make me who I am today and for that I will always be grateful. But I miss him. I miss him so much it hurts. I guess thats how life is sometimes... it dishes you crap you dont always want to deal with. But you have to take it. You have to keep moving forward. No matter how much it hurts.
Aside from that, I am trying to just move forward with my life. To learn as much as possible. To be the best wife I can be. As strange as it sounds, Nic and I are better friends than we ever were. We are working at being the best we can as we move forward in our marriage. We want everything that we do to be in center of God's will. So we are praying. And trusting that God is ordering our steps as to where we are heading next.
Next Im working on a piece for Regent's Fight Night, which I am really excited about. Its nice to be able to stretch myself and work new elements of my artistic ability.
So thats the latest. And its a long road ahead... but it'll get easier. I know it will. Ive got a beautiful husband. An amazing family. And a loving home. I truly do live a beautiful life.

Until next time...
