Blogging Again

So, I looked at my blog and I haven't written anything since January. I was doing the whole detox thing. That lasted 5 days...Anyway, life seems to be moving too incredibly fast these days. I have realized that I need to start using this short time we have on Earth in the best way that I can. I have recently reconnected with my niece Jessi, Todd's daughter. She is incredibly sweet and I pray that one day she will understand how much I love her, even though circumstances make it hard to be normal. Yesterday, Rachel graduated from State. I am so proud of her. She really had to fight to accomplish this goal. So many times she needed encouragement, but she did it! It is in these moments that we all miss our Mimi. She would've been so happy to see her graduate. It seems like every experience I have I think about her. I still can't get through church without crying. Mimi was Christ-like in every way and it is funny that I can just now see how much she taught me...that she is still teaching me. I pray that I can be the example she was to my boys and all the people I meet. That is a struggle, but I try and I think I am getting better at it.
