Ewwww Weeeee - what a long, emotional month for many!! April is always one of my favorite months - because Easter is my favorite holiday. I love the beautiful pastel colors, eating Peeps, dying eggs, and most of all celebrating Jesus!
But this year it has brought heartache to so many people I care about. Many of my family and friends lost loved ones. One of close friends lost her little brother in a car accident. Friends were sick in the hospital. D, Djr., and I saw the Messiah at CFC. My mom had a great crawfish boil. A cousin got married. Our community ached for members lost - both old and young. My brothers celebrated birthdays :) . My new great niece was born. One of my bffs found out she's going to be an aunt. My daughter and I experienced a great trip to Cozumel - meeting awesome new friends. My brother was heartbroken. D and I spent time with our good friends. There's finally enough water for some fishing for my boys.**Just to mention a few things from this month!
One thing I love about facebook is that we are all allowed to share our emotions.......in good times and bad. I think it can be very therapeutic to be able to share our feelings with our friends. Each day I am reminded that we all struggle. Most of us manage to survive......even at our most trying times. I like to know that I am not alone. I love seeing everyone's celebrations and happiness. I get sad to see the pain.
I hope that May begins anew for everyone. For me it means saying goodbye to my little angels that I have come to love since August. It means my 10th teaching year in the books :) My oh my how time flies! May brings June, which brings our first big family trip with my possible future son-in-law. June brings most importantly my Kimberly's 21st birthday - she will finally be able to legally drink with us - whoo hooo! Although she probably won't. LOL.......Then comes July full of rest. Then August again where we gear up for football and school........all over again. God willing, of course.
Life is such a roller coaster. You never know what tomorrow brings, or if it will even come. I pray for peace, comfort, understanding, and most of all joy for everyone in the following months.
In a few weeks - I will blog my most emotional blog yet - one I've been thinking about for a while - the most difficult thing for me in life.........marriage.
