Dearest 2020...

Dearest 2020.. 

Here we are 5 months into the year, and I am having mixed emotions about you..

But.. I won’t complain too much, because the good outweighs the bad for me and mine..

First of all I don’t like being told to stay home, but I have sucked it up and did it for a bit. We really miss church and our friends and my Prims Class. I cannot wait to be able to hug and see everyone in person again. 

But, we are doing our part to stay healthy and safe.

Atleast we got some things done around the house that we are pretty proud of.  Cleaning and clearing out things and building a nice patio to enjoy. Making the best of this situation.

I do feel bad for how many people were impacted with this Covid crap. Especially the Seniors in high school. Our close friends who have seniors are struggling with missing out on so much for their Seniors. My heart aches for them. Shout out to Sydney, Emma and Bazz, we are so proud of you all and pray many blessings over you and your future.

For us personally I have to give a big shout out to our Jazz. She was away at college living her best life in her cute little dorm with all her friends. Working as a pre- school teacher at her daycare. The mommy in me wanted to call her up and demand she come home right away, and trust me I almost did. The news had me a bit paranoid at first. But, I gave it to God. Just prayed protection over her and that she would have wisdom on what to do. Just 2 weeks in, I got the call that she felt it was time to come home. One week later after she was home, the college ended up going online and closing the dorms. As much as I LOVE having her home, I know how tough it was to move back home and do classes like Anatomy online. There were some tears, and a bit of anxiety but my baby girl finished her semester strong and on the Dean’s list again. We are so proud of her, but I know she is counting the days to when she can move back into her peaceful dorm surrounded by all her friends. To love on those little kids who love to facetime her and let her know how much they miss her., and how they are going peepee in the potty. 

And I am counting down to how many days before the ugly cry happens again. Because it just don’t get easier when the babe leaves her momma behind..

(insert big sigh here)

Trav and I are very thankful that our jobs were not impacted by Covid, I even had the privilege to work from home a couple days a week. Our Twin fellas also got to work from home and keep their jobs. We know how blessed we are for that, and we give God all the glory.

We are also excited that Our Ci announced that our family is growing. We will get to meet our newest little blessing in November, and if you know me you know I am giddy with excitement. Yall pray for our CI, she is going to have her hands full come November. But she is a great mommy, and we are so proud and excited for her little family. 

So in a matter of about 7 months, there will be a baby sprinkle, Jazzy moving back to college, my fellas moving into their new place, baby birth, and a big ole empty nest for us.

Have I mentioned how thankful we are for these two? They are our pride and joy, and we enjoy Friday Sleepovers each week. They melt this Nana Heart and they may know they can have whatever they want.. Loved not spoiled.. They make our soon to be empty nest more doable. Thank you to Ci and VJ for sharing with us. 

Here we are Living in The Blessing, please remind me of that when this momma heart is missing all my babies..
