I feel like I’m entering, or maybe I already entered, a new stage in my life.  I’m letting go of some old things, and focusing on some brand new stuff.  Trying to buy a house, or at least settle on a place we’re going to move to down south while we actively look for housing.  Preparing my body for getting pregnant, being pregnant, getting the baby out...planning and figuring out how the hell WE are going to be parents! 

Watching the first in my mother’s generation pass away, has really hit me pretty hard.  I think it’s hit alot of my family (siblings, cousins) really hard.  I was discussing this with my cousin Karla last night.  We’ve already been through our grandparents passing and most of the people in that generation are now gone.  The next to go are people who you think will always be around.  I can’t really wrap my brain around the fact that this is where we are and this is what is next.  But I can be thankful that my mom is healthy and out of 6 children, she is the only one without any major medical condition.  She’s alot like her own mother in that way.  If it hadn’t been for that car accident that took my grandmother’s life, I still think she’d be going strong today...12 years later.

Life continues to move forward and things will never be the same again.  This is good!  It might not seem good at first glance, but I have faith that it is. It allows us to change and learn and be better for all the good and bad that has happened.  I’m ready to move into this next phase, and be a better person, a wonderful wife, a good loving mother, and maybe less moody too, but noone hold their breathe waiting for that, mmmkay?
